Staff is friendly and efficient....everything was satisfactory for the price range on a weekend.. only thing stopped five stars is that I was running late on checkout time and felt extremely rushed and pushed out... But then again it was me that was late so really not their fault..I would still stay with them again no doubt.

Cute basic place, spacious rooms with mini fridge and microwave. Very 70's in decor, quaintly retro! I find this to be a nice affordable alternative during Palm Springs high season when it's a bit too pricey. Yucca Valley has everything you need as far as shopping, close to entrance to Joshua Tree, etc. Quiet location, friendly staff. Good wi-fi, plenty of towels. Will come back and have been for years.

We took showers here, $20 for 2 after wheeling at the lake bed for a few days. Such a wonderful option.

Cute little and quiet, I love how there arrent any loud or annoying people that stay there, it's peaceful just about every day and night, I just wish they had bathtubs and maybe brighter lights, electrical outlets are limited And mostly in 2 spots in the room that are taken by the appliances so I would bring an extension cord if you plan on using a laptop or phone charger. But the owners are the nicest people, there are no roaches or insects of any kind in the rooms, the wifi signal is almost non existent so I wouldn't bother using it and I don't recommend using the cable box or TV's USB port to charge any devices as it will only drain it "IF" the device is powered on. However if your device is powered off it will charge but very slowly as the power seems to fluctuate between powering the TV, & box. Other than those minor details that CAN be annoying it's a great and peaceful hotel to consider, it's actually the only hotel I use
