We arrived early and we were given a room anyway, that was really cool. Unfortunately we didn’t have any hot water. Other than that it was pretty nice.

I came in for the 29 Palms Book Fair and needed a place to stay. Th eroom was spotless, bed comfortable and I had all the basics. The property was quiet for my stay (although there were not too many guests.) Convenient if you have a need to stay in 29 Palms for sure and the price was very very fair. I would stay here again.

When you want a spot that is clean and quiet and close to Joshua Tree National Park and MCAGCC -- and you want to sleep soundly, get online smoothly, and stay in budget, make El Rancho Dolores Motel in Twentynine Palms your hub in the Mojave. The park is a 15 minute drive away, the base about 20 minutes, and your vehicle is just outside your door with the pool a few steps beyond. Need anything? The staff is accommodating and downtown is just a few minutes away. Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, El Rancho Dolores always has a clean room and comfy bed for you.
