Mojave Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The bed/pillows were extremely comfortable. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We rode the bikes around the local residential areas which was really nice. We are locals to the area and it was nice to enjoy a short staycation. Close walking distance to El Paseo which has a lot of restaurants/high end shopping. Also a 5-10 minute drive to local hiking trails (the cross and the bump and grind are great trails). The pool was a perfect temperature. Loved the midcentury vintage look. Amazing place with no kids around which is nice! Can’t wait to stay again!"
