Unfortunately we were not satisfied. The room was very stuffy when we arrived. We had to leave the air conditioning on overnight but the bed is right next to it so we ended our day sick in bed. The air conditioning cannot be controlled. Cleanliness is OK. But the pillows are too flat.

Très bruyant, nous donnions sur la route. Un motel dans le jus, un peu ancien qui est cher pour ce que c'est.

Inexpensive, clean, quiet and comfortable. We were camping at Joshua Tree NP and it was cold and windy. What a welcome refuge. Worth every penny. The rooms are basic, but have the essential amenities. Bottomline: we were so grateful and would stay again.

We've only been here an hour but felt the need to write a review immediately. I will update later, as we are here for three nights. It's 91 degrees, and when we walked into our room at 4:30ish the A/C was not turned on. Here we are an hour later with curtains shut and room still isn't cool. Also, just like every other hotel/motel we've stayed during our trip there is an ice bucket. But this place charges for freaking ice!!! We went and bought a bag...but how will it stay cool as we only have a fridge, no freezer? These are very small things that, I don't care how much or how little you pay for a room, should be included. If you have to raise your rates $5-$10/night, DO IT!!!

Quite possibly the worst hotel I have stayed in and that’s saying a lot for the desert of California. The room was disgusting in so many ways. All the furniture had massive stains. The AC was beat up and barely functioned. The Wi-Fi was at best spotty at worst worthless. I don’t see any point in saving this hotel: it should probably just be razed.

Bed bugs, bed bugs, stay away from this place!!! Worst place I stayed ever I was bitten by bed bugs. I was bitten on my face around eyes and nose, hands,arms and torso. My hand got swollen due to number of bites on my hand. I had to run away from this place in the middle of the night due to the infestation. The management is fully aware and still accept quests to the rooms. The management refused to refund for the stay.

Staying at a genuine desert motel has been a big bucket list item for me. And when I had the opportunity to visit Joshua Tree there was only one choice - the High Desert Motel Joshua Tree National Park. It is everything you would expect of a desert motel - it is authentic! No luxury trims or fancy service or anything you would demand in a big city. Just a desert motel. And if you also want to experience something authentic straight out of a 1960's western movie, the this is your choice.
