I came here for work and the hotel has awesome vibes, its calm relaxing. Inside of rooms are well furnitured and super cozy. Warm and spacious. Beds are very Nice. Pool is cold but a cold plunge was well worth it.
Our stay at Joshua Tree Inn was magical! Excellent service, impeccably clean and cozy. We got to sing and play guitars with another guest as we sat in front of Gram and Emmylou's rooms. And someone told us they saw Gram leaning against a tree, listening and smiling. We will be back very soon! xxoo
This is a special place and we would definitely stay here again. It’s clean and comfortable with rustic cozy charm. The rooms come with plenty of amenities and lots of shared&private outdoor space to enjoy the scenery. The Inn is a stone’s throw from all the restaurants, shops, and Joshua Tree National Park entrance.
Located right off the main street, this MOJO laden hotel Joshua Tree Inn, this quirky location. All rooms were booked up but I did the tour they offered and left a guitar pick, took some pictures and left after a few minutes. It seems to have all the amenities that a guy like me would need for a good night's sleep. Beautiful garden that has a zen quality about it.
Well, this sits on the “if you know, you KNOW” territory of iconic roadside motels… and we are in the WE KNOW camp. It was everything we expected, more than what we wanted and we will be returning to stay in some rooms other than the famous number 8. Big thanks to all the staff who keep it, keeping on.
Beautiful Historic Inn on the north side of Joshua Tree National Park. The inn is convenient to the park entrance, and has many great restaurants and stores within an easy drive. We really enjoyed our stay here for two nights and will definitely stay here again when back in the area!!!!!
Fantastic spot, clean, super quite and had whatever you would need, communication was good and check-in simple. Close to many spots to visit or eat. we try to stay and older well taken care of Hotels, this one did not disappoint one bit.
This little historic motel is so cute and eclectic. Staff was super helpful during check-in and responsive via text when we asked for late check out. Room was clean and loved the private patio - and the mini fridge and microwaves were nice to have. Pool was clean and really nice after a day of hiking in the desert summer and the communal space is a great touch! Close proximity to Joshua Tree National Park and all the fun restaurants and shops in Joshua Tree Village.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
