No pool. Not clean. Staff was nice. You get what you pay for.

Pool was unavailable but it doesn't let you know when you book. There's a sign at the counter isn't boldy visible when they send you to check in with the kiosk.

Stayed for 3 nights and had to change rooms each day.

1st room had an AC that couldn't work better than 80-81F. I brought a fan inside the room. The room wasn't cleaned well, especially the floor. Internet reception on the east side of the motel wasn't great. Fridge, TV, and lights worked fine. It wasn't all terrible, the water pressure in the shower was good.

2nd room was the worst. The AC worked great, fridge, TV, and lights all worked fine. There were also convenient plugs here. The internet was the worst here, this room was on the south side of the building in the middle. Toilet was off centered and rocked. Also didn't have water running to the back and had a major plumbing issue. Cleanliness also an issue here. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been scrubbed in a long time. You could see the difference where water touched the shower regularly versus the bathroom tiles there.

The final room was fine. TV, lights, and microwave all worked fine. AC was good. The toilet in that room also wasn't centered or set flat. It rocks.

VACUUM vents, SEAL holes/gaps in your doors to keep bugs out, STEAM your floors, SCRUB your tiles, BALANCE your toilets, CLEAN your ACs, POWER WASHING your walkways would go a long way for your guests.

you get what you pay for. we only stayed here to visit joshua tree park in the late hours and didn’t want to drive back home. it was really dirty inside the room once we arrived. pee stains on the toilet seat, hair all over the shower, towels had questionable stains, cigarette smell in your face in a non-smoking room plus a nice burn spot on the toilet seat. i would say the AC was the best thing in the room. it kept us freezing which we love.

with all that being said, stay here if you just need to crash for a few hours to have a safe drive home. don’t stay here if you want a clean room.

the receptionist was super sweet and helpful!!!

Check-in was a little finicky. I used the automated system which it would be helpful if it would provide a map or the ability to come back and add a guest at a later time.

But the staff that was there very helpful..
The room said non-smoking, but I found evidence of someone smoking in the bathtub area.
Just in general, if your room is not smoking, chances are it will smell like smoke.
Patrons like to smoke right outside of the rooms.

The bed was really springy-and tough… not intended for a long stay.

Pool was a little murky- but refreshing.

Our two night stay at Motel 6 in Twentynine Palms was very enjoyable. Our room was clean and the beds although a little on the soft side were comfortable. Included was a microwave and fridge but no hair dryer although the WiFi was very fast. Once you make your reservation I would suggest to call the facility and request a bottom floor room. I would rebook without hesitation and hope this review is hopeful.

Unless you're a smoker stay away! The rooms are so heavy with old cigarette smell that everything you own will smell like cigarettes within a few minutes. The property exterior grounds are in very sad shape and the entire property needs an overhaul. It is what it is but I couldn't take the smell and ended up going across the street within hours of checking in. I was getting physically ill from the old cigarette smell.

There were two good things about this property: first, the staff I interacted with were very polite. Second, I listened to a podcast about people who had died in Joshua Tree, and it turns out that one of them stayed at this hotel the night before his death, so that engaged me with the show! Otherwise, this is a disaster of a property, and I’m kind of surprised it’s still open, starting with the cockroach that ran across the lobby the very first minute that I walked in. It needs much more than a simple remodel, it needs a full gut.

They don't clean the rooms every day when you're in them. They probably did it one time with me.And that was all. They don't really scrubbing any of the toilets change any of the sheets or change the trash I was there for about five days .

Yes , you could ask the staff to do it , but why do I have to ask them.

They do have water and coffee downstairs If you want it . besides that they don't have anything. There is no breakfast , so don't think about that. But you know what , though it's good for the price. So i'm happy with that. If it keeps the price down low good.

Room was run down and scuzzy, small flying bugs coming out of the bathroom sink. Towels were stained or unwashed- one had hairs stuck in it, several more had stains or smudges, and all of them attracted the bugs from the sink. Neighbors were loud, playing music all night, and it seems like a bunch of people live here vs just staying for a night or two. Swing lock was broken (found this out when we tried to open the door after using it and it was stuck) and the door looked like it had been broken into before. We survived and don't seem to have picked up any bugs in our luggage, but if we hadn't prepaid before we arrived, we definitely wouldn't have stayed here.

No apology for their \"requirement\", no suggestion to grab a meal before checking in. The \"manager on staff\" seemed inconvenienced that I arrived. My first interaction with the people of Twentynine Palms, and it colored my whole experience in this city. Wouldn't stay at this motel again on a bet.

First...young lady at the front desk was amazing! So nice and helpful. Made check-in a breeze. Parking right in front of our room for free. Room had AC, a fridge and microwave. Price was fair. I give it a 4 overall as I'm reviewing at the level of hotel that this is. Problems with the room - biggest was it had 1 plug socket available behind the TV for the whole room to use - phones, laptops, etc and none near the beds. That was a problem, especially nowadays with all the tech. The TV only worked manually and you needed to figure that out. Light between the beds was broken...button pushed in to nowhere. All that being said, we booked it moments before needing it so that was a bonus.

The room was absolutely disgusting, dirt and grime everywhere the floors were sticky and behind the bed was filthy with grey stuff, the air conditioner was peeling and falling apart, we had to carry our 75 lb bags up 3 flights of stairs because the elevator was down. There were people doing drugs and being sketchy and to top it off the manager was so extremely rude. I will never be coming here again. We had originally planned to stay for 4 nights and got out the next morning because of how bad it was annd how unsafe it we felt. Also the bed was so uncomfortable sleeping on the floor would’ve been better. There were no blankets just sheets. And the door didn’t latch all the way, we had a hard time opening it and a very hard time getting it to close and lock. We spent about 25 minutes trying to open the door, and the manager was so rude and nasty. Do not book with the motel!! By far the worst experience I’ve ever had in a motel.

This motel is a solid option if you’re visiting Joshua Tree and just need a place to sleep at night. The location is convenient and fairly central, and it’s especially close to the North Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, making it easy to get in and out of the park and explore the surrounding area.

That said, it’s definitely on the more basic side—don’t expect any frills. The room felt a bit older, but it was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. One thing to note is that the room did have a slight cigarette smoke smell despite being a non-smoking room. It didn’t bother us too much since we were only there for one night, but it could be an issue for those traveling with small children or anyone with respiratory sensitivities.

If you’re planning to spend most of your time out exploring and just want a simple, reasonably priced place to come back to, this is a good option compared to others in the area.

We wanted to like this Motel 6 - price, location near Joshua Tree National Park. The condition of the property just would not permit this unfortunately. We had to wipe down surfaces before placing our things on them. The bathtub looked like someone had been cooking meth in it! The MASSIVE cockroaches we killed were the final straw.

We recommend spending a few extra dollars and staying elsewhere.

Motel 6 has a reputation for being a trashy motel. But, the photos looked much improved so I thought, \"maybe they're rebranding.\" Here's the honest truth: no room ever looks as good as the photos. That said, I was really impressed by how decent the room was and how much I felt Motel 6 had stepped up their game. So, inside the room, my expectations were exceeded. Outside the room, the exterior of the hotel and the additional clientele were still on parr with the less-than-savory reputation. Also, our second night there, I flipped the switch and the lights went out. I'm guessing a fuse. They had no one to fix it. So, they gave us another room with no additional compensation. Obviously, it would have been worse if they hadn't even given us another room. Even so, it was still really inconvenient to have to pack all our stuff up, move to another room, and unpack it all again.
