Triangle Inn

Triangle Inn is a small men-only, clothing-optional inn a block off South Palm Canyon Drive, with suites that have their own kitchens and hosts who live on the property. It suits men who want a quiet base for a longer stay and would rather cook some meals than book every one. If you want a party pool or day-pass crowd, look at INNdulge or CCBC instead.

Who it’s for

The inn describes itself as a clothing-optional resort for gay men, and clothing is optional everywhere on the property. It does not publish a minimum age. Its site doesn’t mention day passes or visitors, so assume the pool is for staying guests and ask if you want to bring a friend.

Recent reviewers describe it as quiet and respectful, more a garden guesthouse than a social scene. Several first-time and solo guests say the hosts made them feel at ease.

The suites

The inn lists four suite types:

• Studio Suite: one queen bed and a kitchenette. It is the one suite listed as wheelchair accessible.
• Junior Suite: one queen bed and a full kitchen.
• One Bedroom Suite: a king bed in a separate bedroom, a queen sofa bed in the living room and a full kitchen.
• Two Bedroom Suite: a queen and a king in separate bedrooms. The suite description says full kitchen; its amenity list says kitchenette.

The suites page says there are eight suites; the inn’s overview page and Tripadvisor both say nine rooms. Rates are only shown in the booking engine. A continental breakfast is included and served by the pool each morning.

The building dates from 1958 and was last renovated in 2000, according to the inn. The grounds are a walled tropical garden with a pool, a jacuzzi, misters and sundecks.

Cancellation

The inn doesn’t publish check-in or check-out times, a minimum stay or a pet policy. One recent reviewer stayed with a dog, so ask if you plan to bring one.

Where it is

555 East San Lorenzo Road, which the inn places a block off South Palm Canyon Drive, about a mile south of downtown Palm Springs in a straight line. Tripadvisor counts 55 restaurants within three-quarters of a mile. Some reviewers walk to the bars; others take a short ride.

What recent guests say

The inn holds ★ 4.8 from 301 Tripadvisor reviews (October 27, 2026). The ten most recent, from August 2025 to July 2026, are all positive. Guests name the hosts, Stephen and Michael, and a host named David, and they mention clean, roomy suites, the kitchens and the quiet. Breakfast divides people: most call it generous, while a couple of reviewers call it simple or “adequate.” None of the recent reviews mention noise.

How it compares

Choose Descanso if you want breakfast and lunch included and don’t mind being about two miles from the Arenas Road bars. Choose The Hacienda for a similar-sized all-suite resort with a catered lunch and more hands-on service. Choose INNdulge for a social Warm Sands pool with an evening social hour. All of them are compared in the Palm Springs gay resorts guide, and the solo travelers guide covers going alone.
