We needed a place to stay for a few hours and High Desert Motel was perfect for that. Front desk was friendly, room was large and clean, and AC worked very well. If you're looking for a decent stay on a budget that's right next to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, this is the place to book.

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

This is a fantastic place to stay in Joshua Tree. As a motorcyclist, I look for no frills places and this met all my needs. The only downside is that Highway 62 is pretty busy at night. Also, the pool is not heated, but the water felt great on my boot feet!
