Road noise

Second stay in two weeks. Good price, and I'd stay again. Main difference is, last time my room was back away from CA-62, and it was quiet. This time, i was in 202, near the highway. Serious road noise, magnified by the 3-4 cm gap (yes, that big!) at the bottom of the door, due to a broken door sweep. The frame and door were a poor fit, as well. Without leaving the fan running on high, it was too loud to sleep. Toilet had a slow leak from the tank through the bowl, so constant noise from that, too. But the bathroom is far enough away the noise wasn't noticeable from bed. Bed was fine. Shower was fine. Small refrigerator and microwave. Small in room coffee maker. If a small weak cup is enough, you're fine. Otherwise, short drive to Burger King or longer (mile and a half) to Starbucks.

Starlight Inn

Great for the price. Good location. Room had a minifridge and microwave. Seems it and the Oasis next door are in the midst of renovations. Check in was across the parking lot, in the Oasis. Only one guy on the frontdesk, not enough for the two hotels, and also fielding calls. Bit of a wait to check in. Carpet was moderately clean. Wallpaper looked new, but coming apart at the seams. The "Zen Garden" is a filled swiming pool with artificial grass over the dirt. Not a lot zen about that. The patio of the Oasis Inn was filled with beds and furniture. Apparently, Starlight guests can normally go there, but not the pool at the Oasis.

Good value motel. Easy to check in, easy to park, good location near the park entrance and grocery stores. My room was very clean but a little bit shabby - the wallpaper was peeling a bit, the amenity space looked to be under construction, etc. Still, good value for what I needed.

It was interesting that we checked into the motel by going to The Oasis next door. It made sense that there are a limited number of hotel workers in the community. We were very satisfied with the accommodations and the price for 2 day stay. We got to attend the retirement ceremony of a Marine Corps officer, the after party and drive into Joshua Tree in both the daylight and under the stars. It was a lovely weekend.

Having basic necessities good. Maintenace around and plants was good. The room entry way doesn't have the best secured thresh hold to keep the critters from coming in. The place has no pest control to lay a bug barrier on entry points. I stayed till the next morning. I mentioned the bugs in the room. They sure weren't shocked nor had any concerns if I could have any allergies. Luckly, I don't have but I can't sleep comfortably knowing bugs be roaming the room. The next day I moved to the second floor. felt nice and comfortable. Hours go by up stairs ,just disappointment when using the bathroom. I look down all I see is a cricket moving to my feet. After I look under the bottom sink and see like 3 or more Crickets. All I got was a one hour later checkout.

Clean, comfortable and convenient to spending our time in Joshua Tree Park. We appreciated the room’s mini kitchen for making simple meals. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin. The outdoor former “pool” area leaves much to be desired. It would have been nice to share outdoor facilities with the neighbour sister hotel next door.

The parking was limited. The lobby is in another adjacent hotel. The fridge was loud and noisy. The exhaust fan was very noisy. I stayed for 8 nights and only received room service once when I asked and said I would tip. I needed fresh towels and that is what was brought. I ran out of sundries and bought my own.
