Road trippin
I was in town to go to Joshua Tree National Park and this motel is the perfect location. The room was comfy and spacious with a fridge and microwave. An older motel but well taken care of.

Affordable comfort and convenience in Joshua Tree
Another great stay at the High Desert Motel. We brought our own pillows this time, but I think the pillows had been replaced since our last visit. Joshua Tree National Park was beautiful, we had a lovely breakfast at Food for Thought Cafe on the grounds of the JT Retreat Center, visited the Noah Purifoy Foundation again, and stopped into a gallery opening at the Beatnik Cafe.

A simple motel that fits the purpose of a simple place to stay. Although it’s very outdated, it’s clean and tidy!

Basic comfort in Joshua Tree
Very pleasant stay. The room was basic but comfortable. It would have been nice to have a few more pillows on the bed, but the bed itself was comfortable and the refrigerator was useful. Location is very convenient to Noah Purifoy Foundation and Joshua Tree National Park. We would stay again!

The hotel Needs some renovations.
The hotel need some updates, hard to find people on front desk at nite and morning, went there 8am and no one there. The room feels not very clean, no extra blanket and the only ones there are thin and smelly. It is also hard to find wall charges for my phone.
