Owners want to de-tiki the old Tiki Spa hotel
From the Desert Sun online paper 4/4/09

The once kitschy Tiki Spa hotel in Palm Springs now sits vacant and boarded up.
Gone are the tiki poles and the lava stone. Only the A-line roofs remain as a reminder of those 1960s tiki-era days.

When he and partner Charlie Robles came aboard, the plan was to de-tiki the hotel. That was, until the Palm Springs Modern Committee stepped in and educated them about why the personality was important.

I wonder if the Palm Springs Mod Com can work their magic again,
this time with the City?
