Embassy Suites Palm Desert

If you find that every Airbnb within a 30-mile radius of Indio is already spoken for—or you just don’t like the idea of going without housekeeping and room service—the Embassy Suites is a solid back-up plan. For starters, the rooms are huge (hence the name), so you and your crew will have plenty of room to spread out, do sun salutations, play Twister, or whatever it is you do. Secondly, the place was recently renovated, so everything from the lobby to the beds has that factory-fresh luster. There are even a few resort-style perks, like a full, cooked-to-order breakfast and nightly cocktail reception (both included in the price). Just go easy on the free booze—you came for the music, right?
