Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.
