Don't judge a book by its cover...
My initial impression was this property was going to be a downer. But when I got to my room, I was pleasantly surprised. Comfortable accommodations, mini fridge and microwave in-room, and a real coffee maker! TV has a good channel package including HBO. The pool was open, unfortunately I didn't have an opportunity to check it out. Overall, the High Desert Motel is a hidden gem. Very reasonable rates, clean rooms, nice amenities and great water pressure in the shower. I will be back!

Can't Keep AC on while gone.
No earth shattering complaints. One thing to be aware of if you stay here, they ask if you leave to turn off the AC, which when the motel is located in a brick oven, is rather disappointing. If they upgrade the electrical/AC situation, then I would not have any complaints at all :)

Clean but dated
They’re making the most of an older facility. My room was clean and had plenty of space. The location was ideal for exploring Joshua Tree National Park. The downsides were an AC unit that was inadequate for the heat of June and spotty internet.

Great location
The location of this motel can’t be beat if you are exploring Joshua Tree National Park. The check in process was easy and efficient. The rooms are dated but clean. The bed was comfortable. We easily asked for more pillow and towels. They also had an ice machine which was very useful for our hiking trip. The location is close to restaurants and shopping.

The room was very clllean and no bugs anywhere. Easy in, easy out. Coffee was passable. Our ac stopppped pushing cold air around 1:30 am the last night. We didn't want the owner in to try to fix it at that hour and we didn't want to change rooms since we were checking out the next day, so we toughed it out. There is no comfortable pllace to hang outside, so if you like to have a relaxing drink outside at night you are out of luck. Otherwise it is a cheap but adequate place to stay near the natl park.
