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

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Twentynine Palms by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean. Staff was nice and always cleaning."

Spark by Hilton Yucca Valley Joshua Tree

6/10 Okay

"The room layout was excellent. The room itself was clean and comfortable. We did have issues with the bathroom not working correctly, the ice machine in the building we were in was disconnected and the elevator was down causing us to have to cart 5peoples bags down the stairs. I don’t think we will stay there again"

Americas Best Value Inn & Suites Joshua Tree National Park

2/10 Terrible

"This is actually a motel. It's not stated in the listing. This motel is not suitable for families or married couples. We didn't stay over night because we didn't like the vibe of it during the day, when we checked in, nor at night. The room was clean but the property looked worn out from the outside. Would not recommend unless you really have to."

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

10/10 Excellent

"What a magical experience to stay. Dale is an incredible host whose homestead reflects his artistry and creativity that we were honored to get to stay at, he genuinely wants his guests to have a great time. Come for the pool, stay for the warm atmosphere and the caves and multiple outdoor hang out spots (the hot tub under the stars was a major highlight). Could not recommend more and we will definitely be back next year for our annual visit."

El Rancho Dolores Motel at Joshua Tree National Park

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Rancho Dolores for our weekend trip to Joshua Tree and had a wonderful experience. The property was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Everything was easy and hassle-free from check-in to check-out. The AC worked amazingly well, which was especially appreciated given how hot it gets in Joshua Tree. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others."

RESET Hotel Joshua Tree National Park

4/10 Poor

"I saw this hotel all over social media and was really excited to stay at RESET. We arrive at check in time and was told that we could not go to our room yet, I confirmed and ask if check in time was at 3:00 pm. The front desk agreed and stated no apology at all just that they were fully booked last night. Eventually we got told we could go to our room around 3:45pm. I’m very understanding but the lack of apology or offering us a refreshment as we wait was upsetting. We check into our room then head over to the pool. There were no towels available for us at the pool. We talked to the front desk again and they stated they had no more towels for us and we had to wait for the towels to dry. That’s fine, but we waited over an hour and no one cared to find us to give us a towel or put any more towels out. At this point we never got pool towels and just left the pool. Additionally, there were dirty cups everywhere at the pool. One of us needed an iron or steamer for our dress shirt. We walked over to the front desk and asked if they had an iron or steamer. They said only the cleaning staff had it but they were on their break. The lady working the front desk stated she would go get it and come drop it off at our room. She never came. We went back to ask again and a different staff member was helpful and brought it to us. I never leave reviews but this was one of the worst stays in a while. All the staff was extremely nice except this one specific lady, I wish I got her name."
