Good budget option.
Hotel was fine, it’s the least expensive place in the area so good option if you’re on a budget. Room was clean, quiet at night and bed was fine. Pillows were pretty bad, I would pay a bit more to get better pillows. One light fixture didn’t work, should be replaced with an LED and it would pay for itself. Bathroom fan made a lot of noise, just remove the plastic fan so you could still use the light.

This place is really conveniently located just a couple of blocks away from the Western Visitor Center and many of the best eateries and cofffee shops and other stores in Joshua Tree. It beats camping for those trips where you don’t have the time to do so or you just need to get some quality sleep for an early morning adventure. Helpful staff will accommodate late arrivals.

Stay was nice. It's not a 5 star room but if you need a nice, clean room with a decent price that's very close to West entrance of Joshua Tree, then this is a good option
