Basic comfort in Joshua Tree

Very pleasant stay. The room was basic but comfortable. It would have been nice to have a few more pillows on the bed, but the bed itself was comfortable and the refrigerator was useful. Location is very convenient to Noah Purifoy Foundation and Joshua Tree National Park. We would stay again!

Picnic area

Decent motel. Bed was comfortable. The parking lot area was nice and clean. Even had picnic table, which was nice. Pool area looked clean, did not use though. Would definitely book again.
