Disliked: Amenities
Entire property, including the room, was very clean. Room was comfortable however the furnishings were very dated. No elevator so dragging everything up the stairs was quite a task. Check in was easy and checkout was simply dropping the key into a box. Great location for Joshua Tree access. Good value for the price.

I had a wonderful 3-night stay here recently! The room was so spotless clean that it might've been the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The pool was very clean and refreshing. Having a refrigerator and microwave in the room was a nice perk. Thank you for everything!
