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!

Very happy! Rooms were clean, air conditioners worked great, very safe parking lot and rooms (though no safe available) and service in the room was excellent! The bed cover may have had stains but we put that to the side and everything was super clean and location was close enough to all we wanted. No frills but amazing value!!!

Convenient motel at a very modest price

Older hotel but clean and recently painted room. Very convenient to Joshua Tree NP West Entrance and to the handful of eateries and shops in the town of Joshua Tree. Trip was to take photos in NP so spent very little waking time in the room. Excellent value for the price.
