The spot is close to the entrance of Joshua and fine for a night stay. I didn’t like that the bed cover was a bit dirty; there were burn holes in the sheets and sand on the covers. There was a bone in the bathroom and the water took forever to get warm. The staff was friendly though and parking was conveniently in front of the room

Close to Joshua Tree National Park

We stayed for 1 night while visiting Joshua Tree National Park. It is only 5 miles away. The room Was very clean, had an updated bathroom a refrigerator with freezer, microwave and small coffee pot. There was a table and chairs which was nice for eating pizza after a long day of travel. The bedspread and curtains were outdated and the room would look much better if they were updated. Overall, for the price we paid, it was a bargain! As long as you aren’t looking for luxury accommodations, it is a fine place to sleep.

The desk clerk was really nice. She was very patient and helped an elderly person who looked like she came off the street. The place had other good features such as location and I was able to pull right up to my room to park.

This is an older renovated motel. The owners did a fantastic job renovating it and highly recommend it. It was one of the most comfortable stays we’ve had in quite sometime. Nice large room, large closet, fridge, microwave, super comfortable bed, everything you’d need. It also has a very nice pool area.
