    Like stated above accruing rewards ($10 off next stay) is something I miss as it was one of the reasons for me booking at this location.

    Have stayed numerous times in the past when it was America's Best Value Inn with no change other than having to check in next door at the Oasis Inn. The rooms are clean and secure which is what I look for in any accommodations. I do miss when it was part of Red Lions hotels the rewards that I accrued, Having stayed at numerous motels in 29 Palms/Joshua Tree this location for the price point is the best deal and continues to be.

    we had a problem with crickets. I wasn’t offered a different room when the repair that was to be done hadn’t been. Also no access to fitness center - that was only the next door location.

    It was close to where I needed to be. fairly quiet.

    Somewhat Pleasant Return to America's Best Value in 29 Palms

    Unfortunately, I had the pleasure of having uninvited guests crawling around the beds and the bathroom. Big ones too! Not a pleasant surprise to be doing some causal exercises and stretching laying on the floor (on a towel) and to be surprised by nasty 6 legged creatures, quite a few to boot. After properly disposing of them in the toilet, they returned in the bathroom while showering. I notified the front desk upon checkout and have addressed prior to other guests arriving. Hope the infestation was only my room and not a sign of other room conditions. Will hold off from posting photos of the 6 legged creatures as a courtesy to the hotel and future guests.

    Facility has recently moved a bit closer to Twentynine Palms, and although the facility looks modern and refreshed including the addition of a coffee bar in the lobby, the rooms are dated and the pool has been replaced by a "zen garden" - area covered in grass. It's a nice touch but not so sure about the usability given the hot and cold weather of the desert. Nevertheless, the location continues to perfect for setting up a base for exploring Joshua Tree NP (east end) and/or enjoying the local eateries or events. We rode, for a 2nd year in a row, the local Joshua Tree 55 bike ride, and the hotel was perfect for of the ride's starting line. And the staff continues to be very friendly and welcoming! Kudos for a smooth check in and check out experience, including the complementary extended check out for us JT55'ers. Nice to freshen up after a cycling in the heat and before a long drive back into the OC. Cheers!

    the door seal in our room was not in great shape, so we had some desert crawlers visit us through the night, which were not a big fan of.

    the proximity to downtown 29palms and Joshua Tree national park was great and the hotel was easy to get to.

    The room is a bit dated and we found four crickets in our room which is a bit annoying if you don't like the sounds they made while you tried to sleep. Also, sounds from rooms nextdoor can be a bit of problem at night.

    Location is fine but it is further away from the national park visitor centre.
