The desk clerk was really nice. She was very patient and helped an elderly person who looked like she came off the street. The place had other good features such as location and I was able to pull right up to my room to park.

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.

The spot is close to the entrance of Joshua and fine for a night stay. I didn’t like that the bed cover was a bit dirty; there were burn holes in the sheets and sand on the covers. There was a bone in the bathroom and the water took forever to get warm. The staff was friendly though and parking was conveniently in front of the room
