This is a classic American motel. It was an absolute bargain and exactly what we needed for an overweight stop. A clean and convenient place to sleep and shower, with shops and restaurants close by for dinner and breakfast. There was also a little kitchenette and coffee provided in the room which was a welcome change after Vegas, where you get nothing for free!

Room was clean and the staff was helpful and courteous. We requested extra pillows and they gave us two extra pillows right away. Excellent for what we needed--a place to spend the night at a reasonable price not far from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. The microwave and refrigerator were nice amenities.
