It's a little older property but the room was clean and comfortable had cable TV and a coffee maker and a refrigerator and microwave. Parking was good and the gentleman who ran the place let me borrow a lawn chair to take out to the park to look at stars. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a place close to the park

We always stay here when we go to Joshua Tree. The motel is conveniently located near the park entrance. The rooms are a bit dated but always clean and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. The only real downside and this will sound strange being in the middle of the desert where the heat can become unbearable, but their swimming pool is extremely ICE COLD. Even in 100+ degree weather the pool can give you an instant headache it is a constant ice temperature and does not heat up with the desert sun.

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!!

If you are looking for an easy place to stay with a great location, this is it! The rooms may be a bit dated, but it was perfect for a budget-friendly place to stay. Parking was included in a small lot, and the Motel is so close the cute shops and the entrance to the National Park. Check-in was a breeze, and speaking of breeze, the air conditioning kept the room nice and cool. We didn't spend much time in the room, and found it a perfect place to rest after our days full of activities!

This is a classic American motel. It was an absolute bargain and exactly what we needed for an overweight stop. A clean and convenient place to sleep and shower, with shops and restaurants close by for dinner and breakfast. There was also a little kitchenette and coffee provided in the room which was a welcome change after Vegas, where you get nothing for free!
