I ran out of toilet paper. Should have been in the room. I had no bath towels for a number of hours. The water was so hot I could hardly take a shower. NO cooler water available. Otherwise I was fine with the room. It was large and had nice colors, and was clean. Imwould stay here again.

The place was conviniently located close to the entrance of joshua tree. There are plenty of restaurants and shops near by as well. In the heart of the little area. Room was decent. Took a little to cool down. The carpet made it feel a bit warmer, but after a while to room got to a good sleepable temp. Pillows were flat sadly, but we made it work by putting the extra blanket under as a cushion. Check in was nice and easy.

It is conveniently located near the Joshua Tree National Park. The pool is very clean. Our king room had 2 tiny pillows, smelled of smoke and the bathroom was dirty with urine stains.

Stayed here five nights; generally this facility was good for the price. I liked the room size & layout, very comfortable bed, etc. AC worked well; a little too well, I adjusted it from 66 to 72! A couple of minor issues. The sink was draining poorly, but this seemed to be fixed or went away in a couple days. They didn't replenish soap during my stay. Also, probably needs new double-pane windows to cut down on traffic noise from the highway, especially early morning (my room was nearest the highway).

The A/C stopped working during the night, making it very hot in the room. The hotel management issued a partial refund of 15$ for the inconvenient, which was well appreciated, thank you.

Very clean but older facility. Air conditioner worked hard and loud to keep the room at 80 degrees but it was over 100 outside during the day so still not terrible.

For a motel, this one was better than most. Clean room, the shower was both hot and had good pressure. refrigerator, and the room was unusually spacious for a motel. It was just a one night stop over for us, but if we are ever in Joshua Tree again we would definitely stay there
