Convenient motel at a very modest price
Older hotel but clean and recently painted room. Very convenient to Joshua Tree NP West Entrance and to the handful of eateries and shops in the town of Joshua Tree. Trip was to take photos in NP so spent very little waking time in the room. Excellent value for the price.

It's an older motel. The furniture is outdated and beat up. It's a decent place enough if you are just sleeping there. The area was decent and it's closeness to the national park is great.

The location is great if your main purpose is visiting Joshua Tree National Park like us. The motel is a tad outdated but clean, beds comfortable, refreshing pool and plenty of hot water with good water pressure. Good size fridge in the room for storage. Attentive front desk.
