Plus: we got a nice big family room for a cheap rate. The grounds were well kept. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable. No bugs. Negative: ugh! To start with, we were not told it was a smoking room and we were just too tired to deal with it by the time we discovered this fact. The kitchenette... More

Since we planned to spend most of our time in Joshua Tree National Park, we were interested only in having a reasonably priced, clean place to sleep and shower. El Rancho fit the bill. My boyfriend had stayed here twice in the previous year and had no complaints. We stayed two nights in a room with a king-sized bed, small... More

we stayed in this motel only 1 night. we arrived in late evening in Twentynine Palms looking for a room and we found it in this motel. The price was fine (64$). I was a little scared reading the rewies but we were too much tired to look for another motel ! in any case, at the end we're pleasantly... More

I stayed here for a week in August 2011 (not November) while my husband was stationed at the military base. The second day I was there, I turned the water on in the shower and a MASSIVE cockroach scuttled up out of the drain! I was afraid to take a shower the entire time I was there! Needless to say,...

Stayed here for one night in September 2012 as we were travelling from Los Angeles to the grand canyon. Thought it looked ok. What a dive. The room was small and the bathroom was tiny. Anyone with weight issues would not have been able to use the bathroom. The aircon struggled to cool the room. The worst thing was no... More

We were looking for something reasonable in 29 Palms and we were lucky to have found this nice motel. The price was average for a motel room, but better than in other motels in this town, probably due to the fact that it is so close to Joshua Tree NP . The room was clean, we had a working microwave... More

Our one night stay was clean and comfortable and we were happy with the price. We didn't expect frills and there were none. They did provide shampoo and soap. The front desk was helpful and although we didn't swim, the pool looked inviting. Parking was available directly in front of our room - which was a plus with a car... More

Overall the hotel is great for the prices. The rooms are large with plenty of storage. The staff is very nice and helpful. The only complaint I really have about the place is the Internet, it advertises free wireless, but unless you are close to the office it doesn't work. Our room was all the way at the end from...

Why would someone want more than what we had at this motel when you visit Joshua Tree NP? Good rooms, good shower (a bit short but with good pressure), spotlessly clean. The bed could be better (they tend to have these soft mattresses) even though it was huge. The wireless connection could be much better. I'd also recommend 29palms as... More
