Top Joshua Tree Hotel Reviews

The Bungalows by Homestead Modern at The Joshua Tree Retreat Center

10/10 Excellent

"Nice desert views, new and clean properties. Very close to the west entrance of the Joshua Tree National Park. Would recommend to my friends if they ever want to go to Joshua Tree."

High Desert Motel Joshua Tree National Park

10/10 Excellent

"No frills motel provides excellent value for the money. Property is a little dated, but room was clean, bed was comfortable, small fridge kept cooler full of beverages I travel with very cold (and had room to freeze more than 1/2 dozen bottles). Wall A/C unit looked a little beat but did an excellent job maintaining set point even in 100+ desert heat; steady temp made for a good night's sleep. Pool was small but sparkling clean and incredibly refreshing in hot June weather. Location very convenient to Joshua Tree visitors center and an easy drive to restaurants, shopping, etc. Perfect place for travelers on a budget visiting Joshua Tree who prefer sleeping in A/C comfort to camping -- especially in warmer (or colder) weather. Free parking and wifi. Would definitely stay here again."

Magical Vibes on 5 Acres with panoramic views.

8/10 Good

"It is a nice place, with fun decor, and the little lazy river pool was great. The amenities were very nice, and everything thing worked, excepting the roof patio umbrella, which we knew ahead of time that it was not working. It would have been better to take it away rather than leave it in place broken as it was, as it was very noisy with the wind whipping it around. The record player and 80s LPs was a real treat. The master bedroom and bath are very nicely appointed. The host clearly has given a lot of attention to esthetics, comfort and convenience. We really enjoyed our stay and saw a magnificent view of the Milky Way, only 1/2 hour drive into the park."

Modern Guest House - Vintage Records, Hot Tub, 4+ Acres, Wifi, EV Charger, Views

10/10 Excellent

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I have always wantes to visit Joshua Tree and we had an amazing stay that met all our expectations. It was a great jump off point for everything we wanted to do in the area and gave us a nice clean and quiet place to return to to relax and recharge our batteries. The highlight for us was really the ability to gonoutside at night and gaze at the stars. It was easy to get lost in the night sky."

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at this clean and cozy place. Convenient location to get to Joshua Tree Park and nearby towns. Took pictures of wild Quail and rabbits. Saw a road runner but was not quick enough with cell phone. Did not use hot tub, but did some star gazing at night with help of app. Really liked the place and would stay here again if we ever return to this area."
