Howdy, folks, and welcome to the Coral Sands -- the most authentic mid-century motel in old Las Palmas Palm Springs. This exquisite vintage motel has stayed true to its original 1952 design and feel while accomodating the needs of 21st century guests.
I hope you enjoy our story!
XOXO, Ruby Montana

RUBY MONTANA'S PINTO PONY...Many of you have been asking for a photo of Ruby's old storefront
Wow! Flashback. When I first admired the store upon moving to Seattle in 1989, I didn't expect to become pals with the store's namesake. Thank God we did become friends!! But I regret not buying the Space Needle floor model ash tray Ruby once had in the store. Thankfully, I've since quit smoking, but how I searched for that ash tray after seeing it at the Pinto Pony. So glad for many memories at the store and at the Coral Sands. Love you Rube!!!
Ahhh...my Seattle home away from home. The week I moved to Seattle I walked into Ruby Montana's Pinto Pony and thought I'd gone to heaven. Ruby looked up at me and immediately said, "You aren't from around here are ya?"
Now, my home in Portland is full of Ruby treasures (and great Seattle memories)
I discovered this fabulous store on R & R in 1991. I was on my way back to Australia after performing for the Prime Minister of Greece. I met the girls and remember them commenting on the cool retro ozzy shoes I was wearing. I bought as much memorabilia as I could possibly carry. Is the shop still there ?
Stressed out? The healing waters of the luscious kidney shaped pool are waiting. Planning a Palm Springs Wedding? Call about ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE DEALS: rooms, cake, the Reverend Ruby and MORE are available
