    scenic hike
    great location
    limited pool area

    We enjoyed exploring the nearby Barker Dam Nature Trail, which was just a short drive away. The scenery was spectacular, and it was perfect for our large family, including five teenagers and two little ones. The location is super convenient, right in the heart of Joshua Tree!

    My kids wished for a larger pool area for swimming. It would definitely make our stay more enjoyable.

    The queen room was clean and comfy, with soft carpets that felt great after hiking. There was a decent fridge and microwave, which I appreciated. The shower was basic but did its job. Parking right outside was super convenient. The overall vibe was chill, and the room was a nice spot to relax after a busy day.

    cozy room
    great location

    Had a great time staying at this simple motel. The room was cozy and clean, and I loved that it included a fridge and microwave, very handy for late-night snacks when I was not out exploring.

    It wasn't exactly bargain bin, but the quality was worth it, for sure.

    back courtyard
    noisy heater fan

    I loved my stay here, especially the fridge and coffee machine in my cozy room and the magical sunset in the back courtyard. The pool area was perfect for relaxing after exploring and it felt great to recharge. Just be aware that the heater fan can be a bit noisy, but it didn't ruin my experience. Can't wait to come back! 🌅

    great location
    essential amenities
    unexciting shower

    The location is perfect for exploring the nearby Barker Dam Nature Trail and stargazing in the park. The room was clean, with essential amenities like a fridge and microwave. Plus, parking right outside was super convenient!

    The only downside was that the shower didn't offer much excitement, but it got the job done.

    Comfortable Stay Near Joshua Tree

    Had a pleasant stay while hiking in the park. Clean, basic room perfect for solo travelers. The nearby restaurants offered delicious options for meals, and stargazing was just a short drive away. Arriving after dark, I appreciated the quiet ambiance despite the location near the highway.
