Here, the Desert Palms Inn has long had a strong following among both gay men and, to a lesser degree, lesbians. It had become a bit of a dump until new owners spruced up the still ordinary, but now at least clean, rooms and added a full-service restaurant and bar. Both guests and nonguests like to spend their afternoons lounging around the huge pool. As for visitors seeking a steamy atmosphere, the Cathedral City Boy's Club is a virtual shrine to the male libido. The two-acre grounds are landscaped, and the pool is one of the largest around.
Rooms are spacious but unspectacular.
