The location is great if your main purpose is visiting Joshua Tree National Park like us. The motel is a tad outdated but clean, beds comfortable, refreshing pool and plenty of hot water with good water pressure. Good size fridge in the room for storage. Attentive front desk.

Comfortable spot to stay in the desert

Our room was clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable. My husband enjoyed the swimming pool. Laundry machines were available, and while we didn’t use them, it was great they were there. There was a lot of communication from the motel. We would stay there agsin.
