Search Motels in Twentynine Palms

"This was a special trip for me and my two girls. After a long struggle with Long Covid, my older daughter is finally doing much better, and we wanted to celebrate.Joshua Tree Retreat was a wonderful place to escape to. The three‑bedroom home, filled with unique artwork, books, and colorful walls, felt truly special—definitely not your everyday VRBO. Dale’s stories about the history behind the artwork and books made exploring them even more meaningful. The numerous outdoor sitting areas, the hot tub, and the unbelievably beautiful pool offered peaceful places to relax and spend time together. Even working outdoors felt like a reprieve. And how refreshing to stay in a VRBO with a well‑stocked kitchen and quality cookware.The retreat is a short distance from both the North and West entrances to the park, making it easy to explore early and late in the day to avoid the heat. The Barker Dam and Hidden Valley hikes are great for everyone, but for me, seeing my daughter able to enjoy them again was incredibly gratifying. A sunset stroll inside the nearby park boundary—something Dale can give directions for—was also wonderful.Dale was kind enough to extend a late checkout for us, which allowed us to enjoy the morning, soak our feet in the pool, and then transition easily to meeting family later in the day in Palm Springs. We truly appreciated his understanding and the extra care."

"Unfriendly staff, seemed like an annoyance that I was checking in. Bedding and towels old and ragged, looked clean at least. Sink plugged..wouldn’t drain in the morning. Need to be short to take a shower. Dirty walls noticed after being there. "

"It was comfortable and close to the park"

" Breakfast was warm"

"Great staff and the room was spacious. The laundry is a separate business next door. We visited in February and the outside area was not like the pictures! Good supermarket next door but not many walkable dining options."

"Amazing spot for rest and RESET!"

"Really engaged owner and cool gift shop with local crafts and books. Of course, U2 stayed here years ago and its rustic desert charm still exists. Beds are firm and great for sleeping but you’ll want to wake up early for the sunrise view."

"The room is colorful, spacious and clean. It’s our second time staying here and that’s our go to spot when we come to Joshua tree. It’s cheap, but doesn’t feel like a motel, which I typically do not like motels at all. This feels more like cabins. The gentleman at the front is very nice and helpful. Parking is right in front of the room so that’s great too. The bed was comfy, the only two things I would suggest is switching the curtains to blackout curtains, as it gets super bright very early in the morning, and a second trash can for the bathroom would be nice in addition to the one in the room. It’s also super close to the 29 palms entrance of the park which also has shorter lines than the west entrance, and it’s so close to the restaurants and shops. We love eating at the Kitchen in the desert restaurant a few minutes away, busy but delicious! Will definitely continue staying here when I come back."
