I stay here everytime I go to Joshua Tree. The hotel is a great place to stay and very close to the park entrance. Check in is always super quick and the rooms are always super clean. I think they have a two night minimum when booking on Expedia as I can never get a room for just night, but on the trips whe I am staying multiple days this is the hotel I will always stay at!!
