Nice place for a one-night stay. This is a small older motel that can offer affordable rates because it doesn't have high overhead costs. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed a restful and quiet night of sleep before a long day exploring the National Park.

The management requests a specific time that guests will be checking in. If one is driving from hundreds of miles away, that can be hard to predict, and imposes extra pressure. Once there, check-in was quick and easy. The property is well maintained and housekeeping comes daily to freshen up the room. Reliable lodging for a very reasonable price. Close to restaurants and grocery shopping.

The biggest compliment I can give is that I always stay here whenever I travel to Joshua Tree. I’ve been coming here for about a decade now and it’s always clean and comfortable. The motel is older and it’s showing its age and it’s off the main highway so there’s traffic noise but otherwise, this is the best deal for lodging in the vicinity.

It's a roadside motel. Its not fancy, but its perfect if you're on a budget. Super clean, which is HUGE for me. Staff was friendly. My only suggestion would be to bring some earplugs, or headphones because it gets loud being right off the hwy. Great food in walking distance. The Joshua Tree Saloon is a MUST! Hop in the car, and there are tons of cute shops, and vintage stores within a few miles on the same hwy. 10/10 would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The motel is conveniently located close to the park entrance. The manager of the hotel was very friendly and even opened the pool for us. The pool was ice cold because it is still Spring, but it was good to jump in after a very hot day. We couldn’t seem to get the temperature of the room ride. It was rather warm and the blackout curtains didn’t work very well and it was too bright to sleep very well. Also, located near a noisy road.
