Homestays in California, United States

Casa Cody was truly one of the most charming and memorable hotels I've ever stayed at. If you're looking for a peaceful boutique hotel with character, this is the perfect place. From the moment we walked through the gates, it felt like a hidden oasis in the middle of Palm Springs. The beautifully landscaped gardens, mature palm trees, colorful flowers, and stunning mountain views created such a relaxing atmosphere. It's hard to believe you're just a few minutes' walk from downtown because the property feels so private and quiet. Our room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Every detail—from the comfortable bed and luxurious linens to the high-quality bath amenities—made the stay feel special. The room had so much personality, unlike the typical chain hotel experience. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. They made us feel at home from check-in to check-out and were always happy to help with recommendations or anything we needed. One of my favorite parts of the stay was enjoying the complimentary breakfast by the pool each morning. Sitting outside with fresh pastries, fruit, coffee, and the peaceful desert surroundings was the perfect way to start the day. The pools were beautiful, quiet, and never felt crowded, making it easy to completely relax. The location is unbeatable. Downtown Palm Springs, restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and local attractions are all within easy walking distance, yet the hotel remains wonderfully calm and secluded. We barely needed to use our car during our stay. Casa Cody has a unique charm that larger luxury resorts simply can't replicate. The combination of rich history, beautiful grounds, exceptional hospitality, and peaceful atmosphere made this one of my favorite hotel experiences. I left feeling completely refreshed and already looking forward to returning. If you're visiting Palm Springs and want a boutique hotel that feels authentic, romantic, and relaxing, I can't recommend Casa Cody highly enough.

It is a store converted residential building with 5 bedrooms , two bathrooms, one kitchen. If you are with a humble heart, or respect any difference as a potential better way, or you have been in asia places before, this place is a good stay for you. However, if you are entitled, privileged, or think USA way is the only way of the world, stay away please . The kitchen can cook. Ac works well. Light switches are a bit confusing, like tv remote control. Microwave needs to press open button to open ( or unplug it before opening). During my stay, other roommates look like all from mainland China. The owner has a fine taste of Asian arts and crafts . Parking is difficult at night, but plenty if you return earlier. 18 minutes walk to little Tokyo market place, which is a good Asian supermarket. Homeless people are about 1 km away. I met 6 hobos who slept on the bridge 1 km away near LA arts college

We were very disappointed that our room was up a flight of stairs. My husband and I can’t carry luggage up a flight of stairs. Thankfully we were given a different room. The room was very clean and neat but small. No place to put luggage.  The light above the bed did not work. We only had two portable heaters. One of them worked only some of the time. Our room was cold. Parking was at an incline making it difficult to get to and from our car. There was a lovely lounge with nice furnishings including snacks but it was quite cold. No heating available. Because of our limited mobility we only stayed 2 of the four nights we paid for. We made arrangements at another hotel. Some information on line is not accurate. It is not ADA compatible. You can’t walk to Staters in 200 feet as stated. Our stay celebrating our 55th anniversary very was stressful. I am not one to give a negative review. I go out of my way to make sure good service is noted to the employee and that business. I would not stay there again.

Limited free parking spaces, you can park early, visually detect about 10 parking spaces ～ lucky not to be smashed. The hotel is clean and feels safe. There is no refrigerator in the room but there is free ice. The downside is that there is no hair dryer (Anyway, I didn't find 😂)

The location is great right by the water. The 2 bed condo is very large and very fun during the day although feels a little creepy at night, but maybe that's just because of the area we're in. It would have been cool to be able to go up to the attic since it overlooks the living room, but perhaps that's not accessible for safety reasons.

One of the few hotels in Big Sur that allow you to book a one-night stay on a weekend so this is a huge plus. No reception nor staff on site when you check in - keys are left in a key box outside your assigned room (which you will be informed of a couple days before your arrival). If you need help during your stay, your only option is emailing them. Rooms are dated but clean. No dining options on site so either eat before you arrive, bring supplies, or be prepared to drive ＞20min for the nearest restaurant. Breakfast is left in a cabinet by the parking lot for self help. You get a slice of cake, boiled eggs, fruit and bottled juice. In short, you're paying for location.

A charming and peaceful place to stay. The property felt quiet, private, and well maintained, with a cozy atmosphere that made it easy to relax. Having on-site parking was also very convenient. Overall, a lovely stay and a great choice for anyone looking for a calm getaway.

We arrived just after 5. No one was there eventhough Checkin is from 3-6 on the website. We located our keys under the mat. They sent an email but it was late in coming since we did not have service driving down from Napa. On the website it mentions a complimentary mini bar. There is none. There were a few things in our room that need to be fixed. Cute place but I guess I just expected a little more. Balance in bathroom falling down and light by tub falling out. Great spot for visiting in Calistoga. Not sure about trip.com and what’s offered being current either. Lesson learned.

Very beautiful, clean, and tidy. There's coffee available on the first floor. The only drawback is that only hot water is provided, but the outdoor common area is lovely and perfect for breakfast during the day. The bed is large and soft. I would choose this place again next time.
