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

Spark by Hilton Yucca Valley Joshua Tree

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice and clean and spacious. Sheets were clean, pillows were clean, towels, etc. Befs are medium firm, pillows too, I had a comfortable sleep. Loved the little detail with my name on the TV screen when we walked in. It’s just the little things. I’m not sure why other reviews are bashing, particularly the customer service, but I had a great experience. Seemed that the other guests I chatted with did too. Correct, no ice bucket nor cups, but also I had my own water and snacks. I’m sure if I had requested they’d make available for me. Peaceful stay. It’s a perfect lil spot, I frequent Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree and this is great. I’ll be back."

High Desert Motel Joshua Tree National Park

8/10 Good

"Excellent location to west entrance of JTNP. We stayed 2 nights. Bed was comfortable. Coffee was provided but very weak. Housekeeping offered, but we did not use it. We were in the room only at night. There is no microwave and there are tokens to use the ice machine based on how many nights you are staying. Which will fill up the little container in your room. There is a small pool but we didn’t have time to use. This Motel served our purpose & was clean."

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."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Tucked among the boulders just outside of Joshua Tree National Park is this little slice of desert heaven. Float in the pool surrounded by boulders, star gaze from the elevated hot tub, take a short hike right from the property to the National Park boundary line, or simply relax and enjoy Dale's extensive book collection. Regardless of what you choose to do you will not be disappointed. Thank you for sharing your lovely desert retreat with us. We will be back."

28 Palms Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience for my girlfriend and I. It was our first time glamping! The yurts were cute, you also have an AC cooler inside which is nice during the summer. Restrooms aren’t your typical fancy hotel restrooms, it’s glamping in a deserted area so you shouldn’t expect anything more! Just minutes away from Joshua Tree national park, stores are nearby as well, we enjoyed every second of it. Erin greeted us with her handsome dog LeRoy! She was an amazing host both Erin and Leroy were the sweetest!"
