"The views, the house, it was all stunning. The house was well stocked and plenty of room for all seven of us. We stargazed, we hot tubbed, we played ping pong, pool, and cornhole. The park is just down the street and we enjoyed a full day of sights and hiking too. It was a fun-filled family trip and we’d all definitely stay here again."

Top Joshua Tree Hotel Reviews

High Desert Motel Joshua Tree National Park

High Desert Motel Joshua Tree National Park

10/10 Excellent
"We always stay here when we go to Joshua Tree. The motel is conveniently located near the park entrance. The rooms are a bit dated but always clean and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. The only real downside and this will sound strange being in the middle of the desert where the heat can become unbearable, but their swimming pool is extremely ICE COLD. Even in 100+ degree weather the pool can give you an instant headache it is a constant ice temperature and does not heat up with the desert sun. "
