This motel was good enough for a short stay. Conveniently located close to Joshua Tree entrance and within 3.5 miles of fast food and shopping. This motel was clean, I had a large quiet room away from the highway, There was a fridge and microwave. The exterior ambiance was a bit outdated with unusual interior color scheme. Plenty of parking and very nice and accommodating staff.

The accommodations were close to Joshua Tree and the price (in winter) was very good. However, the road was loud, the king bed + single bed had two pillows TOTAL, the decor was severely outdated, and the front door lock didn't feel safe. For the price, you get what you pay for. I would only stay here again if I were on a tight budget or if I was a very late check-in AND early check-out, merely to rest my head after a long day.

Good spot for a night or two. Room was a little quirky (loved the bright colors) and definitely no frills, but clean and comfortable. Location felt. safe and it was easily accessible. My only concern was noise from traffic, but my room was closest to the highway and the air conditioner felt almost like an open window. Internet was spotty at times. Can't beat the location to Joshua Tree for the price. Front desk staff was very friendly.

Excellent place to stay at in every way. The price was great and everything you need is right here. The close location to Joshua Tree State Park and the scenery is amazing to see everywhere including the amazing night sky. The rooms are very clean and the coffee maker, refrigerator microwave and ,t.v., laundry facilities and pool make for a great experience at a great price! Definitely plan to be a repeat guest!
