Good spot for a night or two. Room was a little quirky (loved the bright colors) and definitely no frills, but clean and comfortable. Location felt. safe and it was easily accessible. My only concern was noise from traffic, but my room was closest to the highway and the air conditioner felt almost like an open window. Internet was spotty at times. Can't beat the location to Joshua Tree for the price. Front desk staff was very friendly.

Excellent place to stay at in every way. The price was great and everything you need is right here. The close location to Joshua Tree State Park and the scenery is amazing to see everywhere including the amazing night sky. The rooms are very clean and the coffee maker, refrigerator microwave and ,t.v., laundry facilities and pool make for a great experience at a great price! Definitely plan to be a repeat guest!

Easy check in and had a great conversation with the attendant/ owner/ manager/ jack of all trades. It’s a shame that the tv didn’t work but what the heck. Don’t need the stupid tube 24/7.

Room was clean and the staff was helpful and courteous. We requested extra pillows and they gave us two extra pillows right away. Excellent for what we needed--a place to spend the night at a reasonable price not far from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. The microwave and refrigerator were nice amenities.
