Avalon Hotel & Bungalows Palm Springs
415 South Belardo Road, Palm Springs
The stay
Spanish-style bungalows, three pools and private villas below the San Jacinto Mountains.
Avalon gathers seventy-two Spanish-style rooms, studios and villas around three pools and a garden of citrus and bougainvillea, at the edge of downtown where the mountains rise sharply behind. The look is Spanish revival under desert light.
We have not found any statement about cleaning, filtration, smoking or pets that is specific to Palm Springs, so nearly every criterion is marked as not yet reviewed.
Its profile is in progress. It is here as a well-designed desert stay; ask the hotel directly about cleaning products and air before you book.

How we know
What we look for. Pools are outdoors, or indoor pools have dedicated ventilation and monitored combined chlorine.
Why it matters. Chloramines irritate the skin, eyes and airways, and they build up in the air of indoor pools without enough ventilation. Outdoor pools, and good ventilation for indoor ones, keep levels low.

Context, not scored: almost every pool in this catalog is outdoors, so it says little about one hotel against another.
