This motel was exactly what we needed... We booked in the last minute on Friday of Memorial Day weekend and stayed 3 nights. We expected much less and were pleasantly surprised to find a neat and tidy room, clean, fresh paint, comfortable bed. The bonus is free wifi or high speed internet, coupons for meal discounts in town, a fridge,... More

The title sums up our view on this motel. A conventional 2 storied strip motel in a handy location to Joshua Tree National Park, which is what we wanted, nothing flash but a large, comfortable bed so we had a good night's sleep and woke ready to enjoy the park the next day. Other amenities include good fast wifi internet.... More

Stayed here on first night if US trip, after eleven hour flight from UK and a couple of hours drive from LAX it was nice to be in the room quickly and without fuss. Was incredibly good value, room clean, bed comfy. soundproofing of bathroom not great. Overall a great budget motel.

For $50 a night, a perfectly clean room with a comfy bed, fridge, TV, phone and microwave. There is also a coin operated washing machine and dryer. I can't recommend this place enough!

First off, the name of this place is High Desert Motel (not Inn, as you can see from the pictured sign) so the title of this page is a little misleading. I visited in early February 2012, in the height of their winter---too cold to use a pool, but still mild enough to really enjoy getting around. Be forewarned that... More

Planning a day trip to Joshua Tree National Park, we were looking for a clean budget lodging to just spend the night. We found the High Desert Inn as among one of the most competitive in prices with quite a few satisfactory reviews on TripAdvisor & Yelp. I went ahead and made a phone reservation (cheaper than the online booking... More

We stayed at the High Desert Inn on our visit to Joshua Tree. It is a basic, clean motel, situated very close to the cafes and restaurants in Joshua Tree and to the Park entrance. Nothing fancy about it, but a good value budget hotel to use as a base when visiting the park.

Writing this review using the 20 Mbit WI-fi connection (speedtest.net), best WI-fi I have ever experienced! The room is clean, well equipped with fridge & microwave. TV is 20 or 22 inch. There is a small table for eating & a desk for the computer. Try it, you'll like it!!
