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 The motel is a tad outdated but clean, beds comfortable, refreshing pool and plenty of hot water with good water pressure.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

Used motel as stop over point on our road trip in California to access Joshua tree national park and Palm Springs. Both are located in short driving distance from motel. There are few dining options immediately next to motel and in shirt driving distance. Good stopping point for road trip on a budget. The are is bit noisy as right next to main road but it didnt bother us as after all hikes in Joshua tree and st joacin parks we slept well. Recommend visiting palm springs tram and taking trip up the mountain and doing few hikes. Views are spectacular !

We have 4 small kids and arrived late was very thankful they did let us stay but we were threatened to have to leave they said we could purchase 2 rooms however we all wanted to stay together as our kids all want to be together and 2 beds was all we need. Was only in the room late nights and early mornings so didnt use it much. Would stay again if i had to wish staff was more welcoming and understanding
