Property is great for dogs. The record player and vinyls are a wonderful touch. If you get here early fill the Beth Dutton tube and let it heat up for a unique outside bath. Two porch’s one covered and one not but great for sunset and sunrise Overall a great property.

We loved our stay at Motel California Midcentury Desert Escape!!! Francine was amazing and very responsive to any questions we had. The place itself was exactly what we were looking for as far as location, vibe and amenities. It was very clean with all the charm, personality and amenities that we could have asked for. The star gazing at night was out of this world and second to none! I will be back in the future and will be recommending it to my friends.
