Palm Springs tourism does a great job marketing our beautiful town. Here at Terra Cotta Inn, we have been open 15 years. In that time, we have had some mediocre tourism heads and now we have a very creative tourism department and leaders.
Our tourist department just created a photography contest where you can win up to $500 in prizes. You can use your prize money to stay at Terra Cotta Inn.

You will love Palm Springs. Although I haven't had a chance to upload this story yet, Tripadvisor.com just picked Palm Springs as one of the top 4 weekend getaway destinations in the US. It's also a perfect place to take a vacation.
FYI, Terra Cotta Inn is a historic property being a midcentury modern Albert Frey building.
