I came in for the 29 Palms Book Fair and needed a place to stay. Th eroom was spotless, bed comfortable and I had all the basics. The property was quiet for my stay (although there were not too many guests.) Convenient if you have a need to stay in 29 Palms for sure and the price was very very fair. I would stay here again.

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.

The room was clean. The bedroom had a cute little kitchen connected to it. The only down side was all the linen on the bed had definitely seen better days and a few of the items in the rooms seemed to be a little worn down. It definitely was a good deal for the price though. It also was close to the stores. There are tons of parking spots and some rooms have garages. The pool is right in the center of all the rooms. There are seats outside the pool area where you can sit and relax.

There was nothing wrong with the motel but nothing really great about it other than that it was an easy walk to the main street in Twenty-Nine Palms. The staff was nice and helpful and the room was clean as was the bathroom (cramped and small), virtually no sink countertop space). The hot water was a little uneven but ok. The motel provides packets of shampoo and conditioner that were difficult to open (no tear away slot). Parking was good but since we had a room close to highway 62 which goes thru town, it was a little noisy even at night but not unbearable. The bed and bedding were good. There is a pool on premises which would be nice in the warmer months and a little green area near the pool. The cost per night was a little high for what you get but location is convenient. Overall, the motel met our basic needs while we were in Twenty-Nine Palms.
