I am planning on an exchange to Palm Springs area later this year. Can anyone share with me the pros and cons of Westin Desert Willow vs. Westin Mission Hills? I am looking at Oct/Nov period.
Thanks,
SP

Thank you, Katherine. I figure Oct/Nov is a perfect time with not too many children around and nice temperature. Based on your feedback, I am leaning towards Mission Hills 'cos I tend to eat at hotel restaurants when I am not headed out somewhere. The kitchen is generally wasted on me while I am on vacation ;-)
Which resort has the better golf courses? (No kids with me...)
no elevators
Hmmm, both times we've stayed there our building has had elevators....
We're heading to the Palm Desert area this coming winter, and we're debating WMH vs WDW.
Any recent updates or experiences here?
I like that WMH is adjacent to the full-service Westin hotel, which sounds like it would give villa guests access to more amenities and options.
- Which is best for a young family?
- Is there anything within walking distance of either hotel (shops, restaurants)? We really like places (i.e. Kierland) that have lots to explore on foot)
- At WMH, do Villa guests have access to all of the pool amenities . . . like the hotel's pools?
Great info -- thanks. (And sorry for resurrecting such an old thread. I did search for other more recent ones, but the link you included didn't come up in my search results!)
We are planning on the smaller one bedroom -- giving us the ability to stretch two vacations out of one year's worth of points. Kierland has almost the exact same (dark) standard one bedroom layout as you describe at WMH, and it's bearable!
Leaning to WMH, simply for the added hotel amenities!
