Very convenient to the base, was in town visiting a family member stationed at the Marine Corps base. Also, very close to Joshua Tree national park. I loved the garage style parking right next to the rooms & large pool. Staff at the hotel was very nice and friendly! I will definitely stay here when I visit 29 Palms again in 2026.

Nice, comfy place

Nice place to stay, nicely styled basic motel. By far the best cable-TV system I've seen in a hotel. Suggest printing a listing of the channels and numbers. Never tried pool; found out too late about special access code. We stayed two nights and maid never came to clean or make bed. There was no "maid service" door flag. Would recommend the place to others.

Quinn

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff was friendly and rooms were equipped with amenities. However, once the sun went down we realized our room was infested with cockroaches. This was due to a gap under the front door. Our stay was during the middle of summer, but this situation could have been easily avoided with proper maintenance of the building. After reading more reviews I realized this was a common experience. It did indeed ruin our stay.
