internet unstable and slow, location close to main street a bit on the louder side

big room, good price, friendly staff/owner

Some might not appreciate the kitchy nature of a 1950's hotel that feels dated. Might be a little chilly at night and each room seems to have a separate heater instead of typical HVAC, the window unit AC wasn't used but I imagine it might be louder than visitors might prefer.

I imagine in the 1950's when Joshua Tree was becoming known and people began really using the interstate system that 9 Palms' quaint bungalows were a welcome respite, secluded from each other and far enough off the road that noise was not an issue. These days though the bungalows are dated and not quite up to typical touring motel standards (the whimsical recent paint job is appreciated), I suspect the low cost and amazing location are the two driving factors of anyone staying here. It's still dark and quiet in the rooms, the coffee maker, microwave, and refigerator are helpful, and the beds and pillows are comfortable, and this was all I was really looking for, I found it to be an excellent value for the money but others may not be able to see past the appearance or find the space less whimisical than I did.

Only complaint….hot/cold water makes for an interesting shower 😳

An old survivor from the 40’s…not for everyone…it shows age, but is being well cared for and blends right in with the 29 Palms vibe…

Not good value for money

The place the vibes

Electric power failure, manager difficult to talk to. No towel bars or robe hooks or closet rod. No battery in smoke detector. Shower control uneven: water temp could go from hot to cold on its own. Need a scald guard fixture.

Nice colorful decor. Housekeeper Lynette was great!

If anything at all, just the closeness to the highway

- Location is actually 50/50 : great location in terms of view and elevation with a nice & unobstructed view on the mountains around, but also located right by the highway…so depends on time and day - Owner is really friendly, welcoming and accommodating, he made sure I had everything I needed to make my stay as memorable and relaxing as possible; Forthcoming and helpful, gave nice recommendations for points of interest around town - Housekeeper, very nice lady, looks after the customers and also make sure we have all the comfort possible - charming property, artsy and colorful, which fits great of the amount of artwork/artists found in desert town - walking distance from downtown and restaurants (~10min or less) - Close to Joshua Tree National Park entrance

It was so convenient to the National park. Was just what I was looking for. Safe property for a woman traveling alone. The staff were helpful and kind. Glad I had the opportunity to stay there

A garbage can in the bathroom would have been nice.

Parking in front of our room was very convenient. The location was perfect for a stay in 29Palms. Full size refrigerator in the room with a microwave.

This was a very colourful and arty desert accommodation experience! I liked how each unit was it's own little 'house', and we had a porch to sit on and watch the sunrise in the morning. The AC was great, the bed was comfy and it was very cheap. Very close to Joshua Tree National Park. Happy guest.

a bit old fashion but nothing to complain

the position, the space of the room and the view

Exiting the property onto the fast-moving main road traffic was a bit dicey.

Clean, colourful room, location close to Joshua Tree park gate, kind and helpful owner.

Art work inside the room was very bold, gave my wife a headache. Driveway was not in good repair, parking areas a bit cramped.

had a good view from hill side.

Some minor maintenance issues, like getting the shower to work properly and entering the motel from the west bound 62 is illegal and can be dangerous

A rather unusual and unique place, definitely enjoyed it.

Room was in rough shape. Wall paint on ceiling and trim pieces. Parking area was torn up. HVAC was loud. Cracked tiles in shower floor. Some patches where wall/ceiling had been repaired somewhat amateurishly.

Large, detached rooms, so no noise issues. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Full-size refrigerator in room, as well as microwave and coffee maker. Nice patio out front. Decent size TV with HBO (etc) available. Shower had good water pressure.

The hot water systems are old and not reliable. The bedding is as old as the buildings--- but clean. The upkeep is not great but it was clean.

The owner and staff are amazing. Friendly, helpful, accommodating. He helped us out after hours when our booking elsewehere was cancelled and given away. This is a quirky little village of bungalows. Brightly colored fun little buildings. We enjoyed the lovely view.

Pillows were extremely not comfortable, beds so so, we didnt have microwave in room as advertised and overall it wasnt top clean (foot step traces on the bathroom mat...) so i think it's a little too expensive for what it is currently. (the whole place would need a good reno). We paid 113 dollars and had way better rooms for 20-30$ less. But it was ok

The owner/man at the front desk was is very nice, the location is great and the view very nice ! Also appreciated the coffee maker in the room and the bench and little stool table outside on the porch to watch the view

I’ve stayed at this property once before, and my first experience was great. Everything was newly remodeled; spacious bathroom, little kitchen area. No complaints at all! This second time around, things weren’t quite as clean as before. Apparently a new cleaning person was hired, and so far they’re not doing a bath up job. Oh well. I would still stay here again.

Bathroom needs to be updated

The room is big

It's not high-end luxury but it's worth the cost.

The staff is really nice and very considerate of any travel needs.

The bathroom toilet was very cramped. When using the toilet I felt trapped. It sits in a corner about 3 ft X 4 ft with the sink directly in front of you about 1 ft away. Only complaint.

I enjoyed the Premium cable (most hotel just have basic) ,view, pricing and the comfort. Most of all I enjoyed the idea that I could pull up to my room door. Made unloading very easy. The out door seating on the porch was Very nice and relaxing.
