Clean and comfortable. The Little freezer section in the fridge is a real bonus, as well as the laundry. What more could you ask for at this price!

Disliked: Amenities
Entire property, including the room, was very clean. Room was comfortable however the furnishings were very dated. No elevator so dragging everything up the stairs was quite a task. Check in was easy and checkout was simply dropping the key into a box. Great location for Joshua Tree access. Good value for the price.

I checked in with my wife later than we thought we were going to check in. The front desk was helpful and called us to make sure we were on our way. There is a place outside to sit down and picnic and even have a BBQ

I had a wonderful 3-night stay here recently! The room was so spotless clean that it might've been the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The pool was very clean and refreshing. Having a refrigerator and microwave in the room was a nice perk. Thank you for everything!
