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.
