We had a family suite with 2 bedrooms & kitchen. Rooms were clean. Beds were too tight for 2 adults. Kitchen was ok, big stove, fridge and microwave - clean, but there were not clean or enough utensils to cook- we have food allergies and would prefer to make our own food where possible. Front desk was very cheerful and helpful

Slept great!
Wonderful customer service. Cleanliness very good. Room features- no hot water or tub, and wasn’t given WiFi login. Overall, better than other budget hotels in the area.

Noisy atmosphere (nighttime), erratic shower (hot water ran out mid-shower, then came back again), could use a few AC outlets

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.

This property is a great value. It’s clean, roomy enough and we’d stay there again. The owners are renovating some of the rooms and the outdoor pool which is one of the larger hotel pools I’ve ever seen. When the pool’s renovation is completed, it will be a nice addition to this motel.
