I chose this motel from other reviews stating "Very Good" and because of the low price. It was indeed, very good. Very simple, low cost and near west entrance of Joshua Tree National Monument. This motel met our expectations.

It is in a convenient location if you are there to see the Joshua Tree Park. It is an older hotel don’t have high expectations pillows are super flat. After reading some of the older reviews I was a little concerned about the possibility of blood sucker’s feeding on me! Yikes. We needed a room for a night as we were traveling through. Oh! And the older pictures on the wall reminded me of a Scooby Doo episode where the picture slides back and a hand comes out.
