It’s a quiet, clean, motel with friendly staff. The only thing is that some of the electricity was a bit glitchy in the room. On one side the bedside lamp and wall light wouldn’t turn on but honestly that didn’t affect the quality of our stay. If you’re looking for a simple place to sleep this is a great option.

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 rooms were a decent size and parking was directly adjacent to each room. The motel has a cool retro vibe. It is in a super convenient location near the west entrance to Joshua Tree park and walking distance to the downtown area of 29 Palms; however, because of the easy walk, vagrants were sometimes loitering in the central motor court. When unknown people knocked on our door in the middle of the night, the front desk responded quickly and moved our room the following morning. After that, the rest of the stay felt more secure.

The sheets were dirty and the mattress was stained with a yellowish color. I had my own sheets i didnt feel that nothing was clean and i couldn't shower because the water turned cold after a few mins. And honestly the bedding looked ugly. It was quite which was good and the building from the outside looked nice but the inside it was not so attractive

Maintenance was marginal: toilet paper holder falling apart, one of the two chairs at the small table was in danger of collapsing. Mattress covers coming off, mattress dirty.

The property is located close to some nice eateries (Grnd Sqrl is just diagonal across the street) and very close to markets and convenient stores. Excellent choice for a multiday trip to Joshua Tree for it is also walking distance from the newest visitor center and the Northern entrance to the park. Got a great night sleep.

The room was a comfortable size and the bathroom was clean. The hot water was only lukewarm and turned colder after a few minutes. We informed the staff and she was very friendly. She said that she was going to turn up the hot water heater. We didn't see the difference the next day. Overall it was not a bad experience but wished we had hot showers after a day of hiking trails.

Located right where you want to be when staying in Twentynine Palms. This end of town has the best food options for sure. The hotel condition was surprisingly good given the age of the property. Our room had recently been remodeled and was very clean and tidy. And the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Really a charming place.

Close to Joshua Tree National Park north entrance. We were able to check in early and were greeted by friendly owners. The room was comfortable and by large with a full sized kitchen.
