Palm Springs: an itinerary
I have always wanted to visit Palm Springs! So when I planned a road trip through Southern California - I had to stop in Palm Springs! Here are all my recommendations from Palm Springs!
*Note: Things I researched but didn’t end up doing are denoted with a `` (asterisk)**
Accommodation
I stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in Palm Springs only because it was cheap! It was perfectly adequate in accommodations! The Ace Hotel and Swim Club is obviously where it's at!
