It’s a quiet, clean, motel with friendly staff. The only thing is that some of the electricity was a bit glitchy in the room. On one side the bedside lamp and wall light wouldn’t turn on but honestly that didn’t affect the quality of our stay. If you’re looking for a simple place to sleep this is a great option.

Hotel is dated although refreshed and very clean. Parking right outside the door is convenient but noisy and hotel is right on a major thoroughfare so lots of traffic noise. The two people at checkin and out were very nice.

Ol' Gramps Ain't Right

The woman at the reception desk always had a friendly smile when I came by at night to have a new doorpass made so I could get into my room where I left the old doorpass. The landscaping is nice!

The rooms were a decent size and parking was directly adjacent to each room. The motel has a cool retro vibe. It is in a super convenient location near the west entrance to Joshua Tree park and walking distance to the downtown area of 29 Palms; however, because of the easy walk, vagrants were sometimes loitering in the central motor court. When unknown people knocked on our door in the middle of the night, the front desk responded quickly and moved our room the following morning. After that, the rest of the stay felt more secure.

The sheets were dirty and the mattress was stained with a yellowish color. I had my own sheets i didnt feel that nothing was clean and i couldn't shower because the water turned cold after a few mins. And honestly the bedding looked ugly. It was quite which was good and the building from the outside looked nice but the inside it was not so attractive

We had a family suite with 2 bedrooms & kitchen. Rooms were clean. Beds were too tight for 2 adults. Kitchen was ok, big stove, fridge and microwave - clean, but there were not clean or enough utensils to cook- we have food allergies and would prefer to make our own food where possible. Front desk was very cheerful and helpful
