Room was clean and well furnished, if dated. The hot water ran out at the end of a short shower. The motel is on highway 62, so expect some road noise. Considering the price, I'd definitely recommend it.

Overall safe and comfortable experience. Bring your own shampoo and lotion as the ones they provide isn't good. Otherwise great location 10 mins away from entrance of park.

Room was decently clean, the area was very quite and peaceful. though the hot water was spotty in our room, worked only sometimes. Toilettes are also very small felt like I could barely sit on it.

There was nothing wrong with the motel but nothing really great about it other than that it was an easy walk to the main street in Twenty-Nine Palms. The staff was nice and helpful and the room was clean as was the bathroom (cramped and small), virtually no sink countertop space). The hot water was a little uneven but ok. The motel provides packets of shampoo and conditioner that were difficult to open (no tear away slot). Parking was good but since we had a room close to highway 62 which goes thru town, it was a little noisy even at night but not unbearable. The bed and bedding were good. There is a pool on premises which would be nice in the warmer months and a little green area near the pool. The cost per night was a little high for what you get but location is convenient. Overall, the motel met our basic needs while we were in Twenty-Nine Palms.

The room was clean. The bedroom had a cute little kitchen connected to it. The only down side was all the linen on the bed had definitely seen better days and a few of the items in the rooms seemed to be a little worn down. It definitely was a good deal for the price though. It also was close to the stores. There are tons of parking spots and some rooms have garages. The pool is right in the center of all the rooms. There are seats outside the pool area where you can sit and relax.
