The property
Holiday Inn Express Palm Desert sits on Highway 111 in central Palm Desert with 129 rooms, complimentary hot breakfast, free parking, an outdoor pool and jacuzzi, and a pet-friendly policy. Desert Willow Golf Resort is four miles east. The Classic Club and Indian Wells Golf Resort sit within 10 to 15 minutes.
What to expect
This is the brand's standard proposition with no resort fee and no pretense of being anything other than a functional place to sleep between rounds. The Highway 111 address gives you direct access to restaurants and services in central Palm Desert. The highway can carry traffic noise; request a room away from the highway-facing side. The complimentary breakfast, calculated across four golfers over three mornings, saves $150 to $200 that you can redirect to green fees at PGA West, SilverRock Resort, or Desert Willow.
Rates and booking
Low-season rates run $80 to $120 per night and peak rates $130 to $200, the value-tier entry point in Palm Desert. IHG Rewards applies. Check rates via the link on this page.
