The hotel Needs some renovations.

The hotel need some updates, hard to find people on front desk at nite and morning, went there 8am and no one there. The room feels not very clean, no extra blanket and the only ones there are thin and smelly. It is also hard to find wall charges for my phone.

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.

This is an old-school motel with a convenient location near the NP entrance. The price was right and the room was reasonably clean and functional, if outdated. It was quiet enough for us, also. The pillows were bad - very thin and worn out - and the door lock was in need of repair. But we were otherwise happy and would stay again, especially at this price point.

Maria

Disliked: Staff & service
I booked a room here and then within a couple hours, got called into work. I stopped by the motel to ask if I may be refunded and they refused. I ended up losingy money because I booked it through Expedia and not directly through them, according to the man at the front desk. I had Expedia call them to see if I could just move the reservation to next weekend and they wouldn't allow it. You'd think that a small business would be more accommodating. I've stayed here plenty of times but won't be staying here again. That just left a bad taste in my mouth.

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.

Old furniture and facilities, smells, seems not very clean. noisy because of the highway not far away. Good thing is that it’s close to Joshua tree national park. It’s convenient for those who like to spend the whole day in the park, and come back to sleep after watching the stars.
