Search hotels in Borrego Springs

I was there one day and could have spent 2-3 days, but not much longer. March Equinox time of year. Wildflowers beautiful, weather pleasant. The views of the mountains were gorgeous and the night sky spectacular. The sculptures scattered about are a definite must see. Internet spotty, at least with my carrier.

Borrego Springs is a small town with great night views of the sky and day views of the mountains and desert and, during the season, wild flowers. In season can be very crowded. While there are a number of accommodations, it has avoided the "wall of hotels" that tend to spring up in tourist areas. It's also fairly close to Julian, Lake Cuyamaca and Laguna Mountain, taking well-maintained mountain/country roads. It can get very hot during the day from March through October. The night sky is amazing and you can even see the edge of the Milky Way when it's clear - and it usually is at night.

The resort is a lovely, well constructed and furnished establishment in the peaceful desert community of Borrego Springs. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom well equipped, and the unit quite spacious. The pool and hot tub were very close. The restaurant served a variety of well prepared meals. On weekend nights there is a piano player, a nice touch. The beautiful desert surrounds.

We stayed in Borrego Springs for a weekend, which was a reasonable amount of time, but I could have easily stayed a couple more days. This place is a true gem that you don't want to miss. It's small, quiet, has lots to see, and I love that it never felt crowded. Best places to eat: Red Ocotillo, Carlee's, Big Horn Burgers and Shakes, and The Propeller Bar and Grill (check for pop-up events with live bands and catering). Awesome things to do: Galleta Meadows sculptures (a must), hike The Slot, see wildflowers in the spring, and stargaze on clear nights.

Wonderful lady who runs the place. She called me up and was able to accommodate my late night arrival. I was staying a few days only for the meteor shower. Was able to continue working remotely. Very fast internet which was a pleasant surprise. I left my charger and phone cables when I checked out, left a message on their answering machine if they found it, and she offered to drop it off at the box office next time they were in town. Awesome service!

This is the perfect place to take a breather, and enjoy the desert community and accept it for all its quirks and foibles. it is the desert, it has its own rugged beauty that one must come to appreciate for all that is presented. take it for what it is, if you have never roughed it, dont come here, if you want a 5 star Ritz Carlton your are not going to find it. there are some amenities that you realize you simply dont need. the bed was awesome nice and firm, i got a nice restful sleep that i have not had in a long time, i slept very well it was so quiet, i could hear the coyotes in the distance, frogs, and roosters in the early morning. reminded me of living on a ranch when i was a kid. I also went out around 330 in the morning to view the night sky, just wonderful. i also found out that Blair valley is the best place to view the milky way, blair valley here i come. the summers are brutal, 120 degrees that is where you need a pool and some shade, the sunsets are to die for, you must see a sunset from the valley floor as the desert light dances on the valley floor. happy trails
