A great easy location to find next to the highway, and once in the room we couldn't hear the passing traffic, and not too far to get to the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, plus only around 30 mins drive to 29 Palms and similar the other way to the wild west town and movie location of Pioneertown, with some good restaurants nearby. Checking in was smooth and the staff on duty was welcoming and helpful. Our room was really clean and quite spacious with a really comfortable bed, plus a fridge with a freezer compartment, plus all the usual necessities, and the view from the 2nd floor walkway gave quite spectacular views of the sunrise. We would definitely recommend staying at this motel for anyone wishing tasty in the atea...

Our room and ensuite bathroom were spotlessly clean(apart from the front door) and appeared to be newly decorated. We liked having a proper table and chairs so we could sit at the table to eat. The Manager kindly gave us some disposable plates in order to eat our takeaway dinner. We also liked having two bedside tables.We enjoyed the view from our balcony.
The door to our room seemed rather outdated and a bit grubby on the inside. There seemed to be no covers on the ceiling lights in the ensuite bathroom.

This is my favourite motel in the area. It’s very clean and has all you need (microwave, big fridge, coffee machine). It’s super close to the park and cafes, restaurants, and other things in town.
Price was higher than usual (almost double). One of the managers is absolutely unfriendly. I missed the other one, who instead was so nice!

Great location,just a five minute drive to The Visitor Center. Easy to find-on the main road but I didn't have any issues with noise. Easy check in. The room was quite large and clean and the bathroom too. Parking was easy. restaurants also just a five minute drive so it was a good place to stay for the park and an overnight stop
Not like is too strong-breakfast is always a plus-but not a deal breaker when the hotel is so reasonably priced.

Loved the location - on the main highway, but not disturbed by traffic noise, and very close to the park. The staff was very nice when approached, but never seemed over-attentive. I stayed 2 nights with my two young kids, and we always had everything we needed for it to be a wonderful first family-trip to JTNP.
Having a ground-floor room with direct access from the parking lot, I would have preferred having a door with a working deadbolt lock, but the handle lock ended up proving just fine.

This place is absolutely great. It just keeps it simple, yet provides you with everything you need. You'll have a fridge, a microwave, a clean bathroom, a comfy bed and enough room to keep your stuff and still be able to move. Check-in and check-out were super easy and the price is totally right for what you get. Even though its close to the main road, its noise isolation is good and you don't hear the road at all. Joshua Tree National Parks Visitor Center is just a short drive away, so this place makes a great headquarter for exploring the park. Highly recommended, stay here if you want to go to Joshua Tree NP.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The price was excellent and the location is right outside the west entrance to Joshua Tree National Park! The room amenities and furniture were great, we used the fridge, the coffee maker, the breakfast table, the desk, and the spare bed. The showers were hot and high pressured, which were great after a long day of hiking. The staff was also friendly and gave us extra cups when we asked for them. For the price and what you get, this place is hard to beat.
We don't have anything negative to say; we liked this place and had a wonderful time on our trip.

Perfectly located if you are visiting Joshua Tree NP. Good parking just opposite the rooms. Our room was very spacious, with a comfy bed and a sofa and some additional space by the sink. The coffee/tee machine worked good. The room and the bathroom were clean. You don't hear the neighbours and even though the facility and most rooms are close to the freeway, traffic noise is not a problem at night. Altogether it's good quality for this price.

This is by far the cleanest motel I have ever been to. Rooms are spacious with all the appliances you need, including a real coffee machine and plenty of outlets everywhere. I have been here at least ten times and it’s my fav hotel in the area. The national park is around the corner, including bars, cafes, minimart, and a farmer market! We always end up staying extra days :)

It was clean and bed was comfortable. Very conveniently located to the Park. Room was large and quiet.
I made a special request that no air fresheners be used as I am scent sensitive. I received a message confirming my request would be honored. It wasn't. Each day we had to air the room out. The sink faucet only had a small stream of water. The shower was fine.
