Situated in Palm Springs, 2.6 km from Palm Springs Convention Center, Dive Palm Springs provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property boasts an outdoor pool as well. A continental breakfast is also offered. I spent one night at Dive Palm Springs, and it was the highlight of my stay in California. I truly regret not spending more time there! The room was absolutely amazing, and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Additionally, the room had a private patio that was incredibly relaxing, and the main area was perfect for resting and recharging during the day. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed, given a tour of the facility, and offered a glass of bubbly. Honestly, I cannot recommend this place enough!
