This hotel is definitely one of a kind. Some people prefer cookie cutter hotel rooms with "matchy matchy" furniture, which you can find at a variety of price points. The Talavera is rather bohemian, with an Indonesian flavor. We absolutely loved its unique charm, even if not all the furniture was in perfect condition. You feel like you have entered an oasis when you walk through the gate. The outdoor common areas are lovely and tranquil, with a nice view of the mountains. Our suite had a cozy sofa, a kitchenette, a lovely patio with hot tub, and a very comfortable bed. The TV situation has been described by other reviewers; I'll note that 3 of the 4 hotels I stayed in on this trip to Southern California had only streaming services and no broadcast TV. I really dislike this as I like watching local news when I travel, but it seems to be a trend--so bring your passwords! Finally, the Talavera has easy parking and is walkable to downtown Palm Springs. I look forward to another stay in the near future!
