Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Palm Desert Coachella Valley

10/10 Excellent

"I wasn't impressed with the breakfast. Only offered sausage which I don't eat, and the scrambled eggs were really wet. So I got a banana to eat and some juice and coffee. When I opened the banana is not good inside, it had more over ripe black spots than ripe But everything else was good. "

Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second stay at this Residence Inn by Marriott. The studio where we stayed was a bit old and worn, but very clean, which is the important part to me. We took advantage of the pool, which was sparkling clean. The daily breakfast was awesome, with an egg dish (my favorite day was the spinach quiche - perfect texture and flavor), a daily meat dish, a waffle maker, hot oatmeal, and fresh fruit, among many other choices. We look forward to staying with them again."
