nice location and quiet, nice staff
Irene, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is cute! Compared to the larger chain motels in the area, I would choose to stay at El Rancho Delores every time due to the vibes. For such an affordable stay, the quality of the motel was very impressive!

Old motel, tooo expensive.

Dated old motel. Small room with tinniest shower I've seen. Price was too high for an old motel room. Expected it to be upgraded.

We really enjoyed our stay. Of the motels we've visited in the area, this one has been our favorite. We plan to return!
Ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Older but good fir a single night

Older property. Clean and OK. Beds are noisy due to a metal frame that oil pans as you sit on it or move. The staff was friendly and quick. Well located and easy to find.
Russell, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect stay

This is the best hotel I have stayed at in a long time. The room was perfectly furnished and comfortable. Everything was clean and worked well. The staff took care of all my needs.
Patricia L, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Close to the park!

Received a warm welcome from our host. Our room was great. Perfect for the 3 of us! Three double beds. Room was clean. Kitchenette was great for quick breakfast in the mornings and a refrigerator for our food. Great for going to Joshua treeNP
Barbara, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very good.

We had a very good stay. The room was clean. When we got back from our trip to the National Park the room did smell a little musty, it's the desert. We opened the windows for a bit and all was good. The hotel is very close to the entrance to the National Park. An excellent location to Joshua Tree NP. The hotel room had a kitchenette which was great. Stove, microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker, and a small bar to eat at. I would stay again.
MaryAnn, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Susan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Always a nice place to stay. Quaint but fun
Allen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay for very reasonable price. I have stayed at many of the motels in the area and would strongly recommend this one over others. Will return!
Ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to Joshua Tree NP, I'd stay here again!

This is a solid two star hotel. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean, I appreciated that there was no carpeting. Shower had hot water. Heater worked well, which is great because the nights were chilly. This motel is a little worn and shabby, but suited my purposes well. A reasonably priced place to stay after day hiking in Joshua Tree NP. Close to the not-as-busy park entrance in 29 Palms. And walking distance to downtown with good options for dinner, which I appreciated very much. I would stay here again.
Stacy, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Only for a Very Short Stay

This place is suitable for a very short stay when visiting Joshua Tree National Park. However, if you have other options, think twice. The bedding was extremely dirty, yet reeked of disinfectant. And don’t expect warm water—because there isn’t any. After staying here, we got sick, which completely ruined the rest of our trip.
Hyungjoon, 2-night trip
