Top Sky's the Limit Observatory and Nature Center Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Twentynine Palms by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We loved!"

AutoCamp Joshua Tree

10/10 Excellent

"It’s our first time to sleep in an Airstream. And it was awesome. Everything about Autocamp is unique, imagine you have the RV all by yourself out in the field. It’s like camping but my family and I aren’t avid campers this is the closest we can get to camping. It was quite an experience. The hotel lounge has snacks for a fee and restaurant that serves warm food. The staff are all so nice and helpful. The place is nice and it’s so close to Joshua Tree, practically 3 minutes drive to the West visitor center. And the entrance to the park is a swift 5 minute drive. Our room/rv is clean, we even had an outdoor dining and grill with all the kitchen utensils. I was expecting a plastic toilet like in airplanes but no, the interior is exactly how a hotel would look like. Only complain I can say is that the AC is a bit noisy when it starts up but not enough to ruin our stay, I was expecting it since the room has a low ceiling and the blower is right on top of you. 2 AC in a small room is a luxury. We would definitely come back."

Joshua Tree Retreat, Private pool, Garden and Cave-inspired-Private Estate

10/10 Excellent

"From the time I booked this VBRO, the host was in contact with me and answered every question in a timely manner. His property is backed up to Joshua Tree with majestic boulders surrounding the back of the property and the pool was very private. He gave us a tour and explained the history of the property and has a wealth a knowledge of the area. My wife and I went for a quiet, anniversary weekend and this place did not disappoint. Very much a desert vibe, quiet, with roadrunners, quail, jack rabbits, lizard's and at night we loved watching the sunset by the pool with a few bats fluttering about eating any flying bugs and getting a sip of water. I hiked the back of his property to hopefully see a big horn sheep but unfortunately, I didn't see any but there are prints and droppings. If you enjoy the desert and love the desert views, expect peace and quiet, multitude or stars at night, and I forgot to say, a very comfortable bed......book this place, you won't regret it! Thanks again, we will be back!"
