Find hotels near Roy's Motel & Cafe, Amboy

"Went there with my husband, 9 y/o daughter and 2 small dogs. Lots of outdoor space to wander about and allow the pups to roam (there is a tall fence around the entire property). You're right on the foothills of the mountain, so you need to listen out for coyotes. We were able to entertain ourselves there: there's a nice deck by the pool, watched a movie on the big outdoor projector and hopped in the Jacuzzi. We had a few meals outside, too. We were looking for a location pretty far away from the city, and we certainly got it. We usually only left the property one time per day. It's probably a 25-minute drive from this location to the far East entrance of Joshua Tree, which we visited for a few hours each day. If you don't have four-wheel drive, you absolutely need to follow the directions that are provided, not Google maps. And if you can help it, it's best for you to arrive while there is still sunlight. We brought our own telescope, but there is also have one that you could use here. You may not even need it since the sky is so clear, we saw more shooting stars in the 4 days that we were there, then I have in 5 years in LA. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this location. If you want to disconnect and enjoy some real peace and quiet, this is the location for you. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday here. It was definitely a memorable location and would love to come back here. "

"This was a lovely comfy desert house. Really enjoyed the vibe of the decorations, stargazing at night, and watching sunrises and sunsets over the wide open desert."

"We loved the decoration and the scenery. The house has an amazing vibe"

"Backyard is miles and miles of open desert"

"My family and I, 5 in total, had an amazing weekend escaping from the craziness of the city. The location is simply perfect: calm and quiet with stunning sunrises, sunsets, and star gazing. There was enough space for all of us to go off on our own when we needed space, and then come together when we wanted company. The entire property is fenced in, which meant our dog could run around on her own without us worrying about her going to far. As far as amenities goes, everything had been thought of! Floating beds for the pool, a s'mores kit, fully stocked spice cabinet and kitchen, and a wall full of fun sun hats for those of us that forget to bring one. We all agreed we'd be coming back!"

"This place is wonderfully isolated and solitary feeling. The amenities are so carefully considered and detailed. It feels just casual and lived in enough that you can tell the owners are stay here regularly. The style is perfectly curated and feels just right for the place (the opinion of two professional designers who stayed together.) There's none of the "weird bits" that you typically get in vacation rentals, everything is just so crisp and well thought out. Highly recommend for a little getaway!"

"Cute house! Far enough from the town for great star gazing, but close enough if we needed anything. The cowboy pool was perfect to escape the desert heat while we watched a storm on the horizon! Will definitely stay again when we're in the area! Thanks!"
