Ratings and reviews
1.0 / 5.0
We had a family suite with 2 bedrooms & kitchen. Rooms were clean. Beds were too tight for 2 adults. Kitchen was ok, big stove, fridge and microwave - clean, but there were not clean or enough utensils to cook- we have food allergies and would prefer to make our own food where possible. Front desk was very cheerful and helpful
1.5 / 5.0
Wonderful customer service. Cleanliness very good. Room features- no hot water or tub, and wasn’t given WiFi login. Overall, better than other budget hotels in the area.

Okey stay for one night. The floor was dirty and we got black under our socks. The bathroom window was broken when trying to open, the bathroom fan goes on loudly when turning on the lights. But still okey for one night

Great location, clean and comfortable. Easy check in and out. Great and easy parking in our own garage attached to our room! Unfortunately, I wasn't there long enough to use the pool, which was beautiful. It had a very retro, fun vibe!

4.0 / 5.0
I have stayed at this motel many times. The motel has been beautifully remodeled and is well worth the price. The woman manager is very helpful, pleasant, and accommodating. One of the older rooms I once had in the back needs better remodeling.

1.0 / 5.0
Sucked dirty and very uncomfortable beds and the desk person wanted to argue/debate with me about something he ended up being wrong about. Would not recommend staying there especially for the wacky prices they have. No thank u please

Cant understand why this property has such high reviews. Room was average and shower/bathroom poor with shower actually coming off wall! It wasn't cheap either.

Service was good, the room was pretty clean, the pool was nice and the location was great for visiting Joshua Tree. We appreciated the $1 sodas in the lobby and lots of available ice. Our stay was pleasant.

4.0 / 5.0
I enjoy the small motel intimacy. I had a covered parking space which is great in desert heat. The room is large and the bed comfortable. The shower didn't have hot water. The staff denied the problem.

Very small bath. Mirror too low for person six ft. or more. Took too long for hot water; then it stayed for a short time and never returned. No hair dryer. No facial tissues.

Cool retro motel that’s clean, spacious and safe. Walking distance to great Twentninepalms food and the Joshua Tree Visitor Center.
One of the closer places to stay if you’re visiting the Joshua Tree National Park.

Very clean. Loved it.
1.5 / 5.0
Hotel very close to joshua tree park, the people are very nice, the price is great.
But gosh I haven't slept in such a bad bed since ages. The bathroom is said with a bath but you can't shut the bathtub. It is said there is a kitchen, but there are 3 plates and 2 spoons, brief not very equiped. The swimming pool was big but freezing, maybe 60 degrees. A shame because it was one of the reason we choose that hotel.
2.5 / 5.0
It was clean and well-maintained for the location and the price that we paid
1.5 / 5.0
This is an older motel with decent rooms and a nice pool. It was sunny and reasonably clean. We were happy about the kitchenette. Not everything worked: the shower did not drain and the windows were not working well.
Staff was really kind and we did like our stay.
The main problem with this motel seems to be that it is located in the immediate vicinity of some kind of homeless/junkie encampment. There were occasionally stoned junkies wandering about. I complained to the manager and he said “it is not our property behind the hotel, What we can do about it?” And gestured to the sky.
I would not return again for this reason. I was with my daughter, and we felt uncomfortable and not entirely safe.
2.5 / 5.0
Lovely stay overnight here. Everything we needed. The pool looked inviting except that it was too cold outside. Very clean and nice staff.
5.0 / 5.0
Older motel but very clean and rooms remodeled. Everything worked and owners very hospitable. I will be back.
5.0 / 5.0
Great base for exploring Joshua Tree NP.
1.5 / 5.0
Great service and perfect location for what we were going after. It's the room/building itself that needs a make-over. Best way to put it... the room was TIRED.
