Convenient motel at a very modest price
Older hotel but clean and recently painted room. Very convenient to Joshua Tree NP West Entrance and to the handful of eateries and shops in the town of Joshua Tree. Trip was to take photos in NP so spent very little waking time in the room. Excellent value for the price.

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 The motel is a tad outdated but clean, beds comfortable, refreshing pool and plenty of hot water with good water pressure.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.
