Basic comfort in Joshua Tree
Very pleasant stay. The room was basic but comfortable. It would have been nice to have a few more pillows on the bed, but the bed itself was comfortable and the refrigerator was useful. Location is very convenient to Noah Purifoy Foundation and Joshua Tree National Park. We would stay again!

Decent motel. Bed was comfortable. The parking lot area was nice and clean. Even had picnic table, which was nice. Pool area looked clean, did not use though. Would definitely book again.

Stay was nice. It's not a 5 star room but if you need a nice, clean room with a decent price that's very close to West entrance of Joshua Tree, then this is a good option

Room is older but clean. Great location for Joshua Tree NP, and the little town of Joshua Tree is quirky with great people
