PALM SPRINGS’ OLD RANCH INN HONORED BY TRIPADVISOR©

Palm Springs, CA — The 2008 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards recently named Palm Springs’ Old Ranch Inn a “Best Hidden Gem Hotel” and “Best Bargain Hotel”. Old Ranch Inn is located in the heart of Palm Springs’ downtown village, nestled against the San Jacinto Mountains. The quaint, intimate hotel features eight poolside suites in an informal relaxed atmosphere, tucked away behind gates, amidst palms and flowering plants, shady patios, and sparkling fountains. The western themed hotel has been totally remodeled and restored to reflect the “glamour days”. Information on the hotel can be obtained at www.oldranchinn.com or by calling 760-778-8900.

This is the sixth year that TripAdvisor has honored the world’s best hotels. Winners are determined by a combination of the highest traveler ratings and the TripAdvisor Popularity Index, a measurement of overall traveler satisfaction.
