Basic comfort in Joshua Tree
Very pleasant stay. The room was basic but comfortable. It would have been nice to have a few more pillows on the bed, but the bed itself was comfortable and the refrigerator was useful. Location is very convenient to Noah Purifoy Foundation and Joshua Tree National Park. We would stay again!

Picnic area
Decent motel. Bed was comfortable. The parking lot area was nice and clean. Even had picnic table, which was nice. Pool area looked clean, did not use though. Would definitely book again.

Good budget option.
Hotel was fine, it’s the least expensive place in the area so good option if you’re on a budget. Room was clean, quiet at night and bed was fine. Pillows were pretty bad, I would pay a bit more to get better pillows. One light fixture didn’t work, should be replaced with an LED and it would pay for itself. Bathroom fan made a lot of noise, just remove the plastic fan so you could still use the light.

Above avg room
Stay was nice. It's not a 5 star room but if you need a nice, clean room with a decent price that's very close to West entrance of Joshua Tree, then this is a good option

Not recommended
This place is very old and in need of updates. The front desk is a joke. The smoking outside our room was terrible with a cigarette butt can mounted the the stairwell it was terrible. Not a recommendation from me.

They nailed all the important points
The location was literally 1 mile from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. We had a long trailer and they only had 1 space to park it. So you may want to check with the manager before booking. We were able to walk to Thai restaurant nearby. The Indian restaurant was full of people who had been waiting an hour for their food. The manager was great. Hello helped us park our truck and trailer. He said he would join us for the SpaceX launch at 10. He didn't, but the launch was spectacular in the western sky. The room was enormous for a motel, our stay was quiet, the water pressure was amazing and the bed was super comfortable. They nailed the most important points. Highly recommended

This place was close to the park. Employee was helpful and check in was easy. Older air conditioner but it worked and cooled the room down eventually (stay was in October but during a heatwave. Signs say to turn it off while youre out). The room was clean, there was plenty of parking. Its a basic motel room and just what we needed for one night. There was a fridge, which was great. It was the lowest priced room at that time. I would come back again.

Room is older but clean. Great location for Joshua Tree NP, and the little town of Joshua Tree is quirky with great people

Funky, but seemed clean
When we walked into the room, we were..... I don't know how to desribe it. It was the worst decorated room I've ever seen. The picture does not do it justice. The "art" on the wall was a print of a British hunting scene with no glass and a wavy mat. The walls not only didn't match, they didn't coordinate. The curtains and bedspread didn't match anything. The bed was comfortable, though, and, although the motel is on a main highway we didn't hear auto noises over the noise of the AC, which we kept on all night. The bathroom seemed clean and there were no bugs. I just can't get past the incredibly bad decor. I wasn't terribly surprised when the credit card bill came back as a "Motel 6".
