Well, first of all, it is very similar to the Beat Hotel in many ways. Plus, it's pretty darn cool - and affordable. Plus, it only has 7 rooms, which I would hope we could fill and have the place to ourselves.

The hotel MP linked to has been on my list for a while. It's too expensive for a group thing - plus is is too large for my taste in desert swankings. I like when we have the entire hotel booked for our own purposes. The hotel I mentioned earlier seems to fit the bill, imho.

Oh yeah, now we're talkin!

Are the hookas provided, or must we bring our own?

I present The Desert Star Bungalows Palm Springs.
