Best Western Date Tree Hotel

If you’ll be spending the bulk of your time at a music festival or exploring the area, who needs a concierge staff bumbling over their luggage and enforcing dress code? Better yet, who needs anyone telling them what to do at all? Therein lies the low-maintenance, unobtrusive charm of Best Western. That, and the utilitarian rooms, Olympic-size pool, and free hot breakfast. While rates tend to hover below the $100 mark, surges during Coachella are known to happen, so it’s worth planning well ahead if you're attending around that time.
