I have been staying at the Harmony Inn for almost 10 years. This 1950s roadside hotel is nothing fancy, but it is cute, affordable, and clean. The decor is shabby chic. I love the garden and the fact that you can get a kitchenette. There is a supermarket nearby, and it is very close to the North Entrance to Joshua Tree.

During my recent stay at the Harmony Motel in 29 Palms, charm and the need for maintenance defined my experience. The motel's nostalgic ambiance initially appealed to me, yet it needed some care. The assistant manager was friendly at check-in, even preparing the air conditioner. However, she left the windows open, causing the room to be excessively warm until late at night. The next morning, she confused us by asking if we were staying another night, despite our prepayment for three nights. A day before departure, the housekeeper entered without knocking, apologized, and left. I confirmed it was a mistake and later received an apology from the assistant manager. Our spacious room had a kitchen with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, and utensils. Mostly clean, but the kitchen walls and floor needed a thorough cleaning, and dead bugs were present. The small bathroom lacked hooks. The bed was fairly comfortable, but the pillows were old and flat. The window air conditioner struggled during hot periods, and Wi-Fi was extremely slow. The motel grounds were charming but neglected: scattered leaves, broken pathway lights, an uninviting pool area with a makeshift fence, dirty furniture, and cloudy water with debris. Check-out involved stripping bedding and texting an unknown number, which felt inconvenient. Despite these issues, the motel was quiet and comfortable with its proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, about 7 miles away, being an advantage.

What a cool place! It's dated but charming, and the location is perfect for exploring Joshua Tree National Park. We appreciated the history and vibe. Don't stay here if you're expecting a modern, super clean hotel- but give it a try if you're looking for an interesting desert stop-over.

Small, cosy and charming motel. The owners have done a great job renovating the place while retaining the uniqueness of the property. My unit had a complete kitchen stocked with anything you might need for preparing a meal. It was quiet with great views of town and the mountains I would stay here again!

Located close to town but not to close.

Great location secluded hotel. But the ownership really Watches your every move and makes you feel very uncomfortable

Amazing customer service. I didn’t see the checkin time windows and Ash stayed late to accommodate my fiancé and I. So sweet of her to take care of us as customers. Big room with full kitchen, pool, hot tub and comfortable chairs on patio to star gaze at night.

The gardens are lovely, and the place looks cute. When I first walked in to Room #6, it felt like I'd gone to visit Mamaw: the room is original to the early years of tourism and has the feel of an old house. In keeping with that old-timey theme, there are no electrical outlets except in the kitchen (I blew my hair dry in the kitchen!) and I couldn't use my c-Pap machine for sleeping. The bed is bad and the pillows are horrible. The bathroom is teensy-tiny; I'm a biggish woman, and I had to be careful not to damage my hip on the corner of the vanity sitting down to pee. The shower is large but had an odd memory foam kind of mat that seemed creepy to me. It's an oddly utilized space best suited for skinny men, seems to me. I wanted to like this motel, but I couldn't wait to leave. I count it as an experience I don't have to repeat.
