Downtown Indio
Downtown Indio is the valley's most affordable base and the closest built-up centre to the Empire Polo Club festival grounds.
Indio's old downtown around Miles Avenue and Requa has been slowly filling in with taquerias, breweries and the city's date-farming heritage on display at the fairgrounds. It is unpolished compared with El Paseo and priced accordingly.
The reason most visitors stay here is proximity: Coachella and Stagecoach at the Empire Polo Club are minutes away, as are the fairgrounds and Fantasy Springs. Outside festival season Indio is the cheapest place in the valley to sleep.
Palm Springs is 30 minutes northwest on Interstate 10, which matters if nightlife is the plan.
Things to do in and around Downtown Indio: Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, Shields Date Garden.
