Die Frau an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich, der Mann am Anfang nicht. Die Lage passt und der Pool ist schön.
Nic
Robaki w łóżku i włosy. Po oddaniu kluczy Pani mówiła że zwróci środki przez booking. Mija miesiąc i zero odzewu
Il parcheggio davanti alla stanza!!!!
Bagno piccolo, stanza troppo rumorosa essendo la struttura adiacente ad una strada principale!!!! Non effettua il servizio di prima colazione.
Location vicinissima al Joshua Tree NP, parcheggio disponibile in struttura e gratuito, stanza ampia. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo.
Arredamento retrò e bagno un po’ piccolo.
Cleaner than expected with decent amount of toiletries available and coffee machine, refrigerator, etc with a perfect 29 Palms location
Bed felt like there was plastic underneath all the sheets which is probably for a cleanliness precaution, but wasn't as comfortable
La posizione vicinissima allo joshua. Piscina
Praticamente L aria condizionata l ha accesa al nostro arrivo, la stanza era un forno e abbiamo fatto fatica a starci per le prime ore. Le temperature all esterno sono altissime e dentro era caldo uguale. Struttura un po vecchiotta e si vede anche dall arredo. La cucina senza utensili e molto vecchia.
Buona la posizione e la piscina
Staff poco accogliente e Camera con bagno minuscolo. Aria condizionata rumorosissima e oltre tutto non era accesa al momento dell'arrivo pertanto la camera risultava caldissima
Typical motel room, adequate for a 1 night stay
Had a small kitchen but no utensils or plates
The owner is fantastic, she’s very kind and accommodating. We always love our stay! The pool is also amazing and a great temperature for the heat outside.
Nothing!
gute Lage- Pool
in die Jahre gekommen - teuer, schmutzig, muffig, Bad winzig, Zimmer sehr klein, 45 Grad im Zimmer, man hätte mal die Klima vorher anschalten sollen
Nettes Personal, sehr sauberes Zimmer
Zimmer eher klein für amerikanische Verhältnisse
W obiekcie nie było śniadania. Dużo miejsca. Blisko do Joshua Tree National Park.
W basenie w czasie kąpieli został znaleziony martwy gryzoń
Good location, clean room, nice staff
Die Lage
Die Räume hatten einen unangenehmen Geruch
Good location and pool
AC and refrigerator were VERY LOUD, so it was very difficult to sleep
Nic
Jedyny motel w ciągu tygodnia, gdzie pokój nie był wychłodzony klimatyzacją na nasz przyjazd (był tak nagrzany, że przez pół nocy nie dało się spać). Pościel na jednym łóżku brudna. Poduszki (nie pościel), chyba nigdy nie były prane. Bateria prysznicowa cieknie. Zamiast zimnej wody, leci ciepła pod prysznicem.
Propre, bien situé pour Joshua Tree et rapport qualité prix correct.
The room was ok, had cockroaches. The kitchen was half equipped and not as it says online.
It was not clean, cockroach eveywhere. There were better accommodations around which didnt show up when making the the booking.
clean pool, great location, everything was as described
A/C was a bit slow to cool the room but it worked fine in the end (tbh it was 120F outside, so that might be the reason)
The location
The Air Conditioner didn’t work had to move then the next room was same problem. I left a day earlier and they wouldn’t refund me my money.
Perfect lady, nothing was problem. Freshly pool in hot weather.
parking space availability
It’s the surrounding area- the nasty smell of cow dung permeates the entire area. If you’re ok with the smell, then this is a good budget hotel if you’re planning to explore JT park
The pool is beautiful
Ein sehr gepflegtes typisches US Motel. Perfekt für einen Roadtrip.
location and charm
no shade at the pool. outside chairs weren't at every room and the chairs that were there were uncomfortable and useless
Location
Smelled like a 40 year old used ash tray.
Super lokalita pro návštěvu Joshua parku. Poměr cena , výkon v pohodě
Très bon rapport qualité prix. Chambres un peu vintage mais ça fait partie du charme de la ville. C'est appréciable de se baigner le soir après une journée de route. La personne à l’accueil est top, et disponible en cas de besoin. Pour une nuit de passage c'est très bien et propre.
The owner accommodated our need for two rooms next to each other. The pool was essential, used for hours by our 10 year old grandchildren. Usually had the pool to ourselves. Wish they had awnings but the palm trees provided a chair width of shade.
Pool area needed a shaded area.
The room was clean. It had a refrigerator and a microwave. The front desk staff were very friendly and professional. It also has a nice pool.
Nothing
Schönes, grosses, sauberes Zimmer, top Klimaanlage, mega cooler schöner Pool,sehr freundlich
Es gibt nichts auszusetzen
The pool, the location, the staff
Nothing , we loved everything.
Great location and the lady on reception was fantastic, very helpful and welcoming
Habitación amplia al igual que el garaje.
La limpieza de la habitación no fue buena (había una cucaracha muerta en la esquina de la cama). Y las sábanas tenían agujeros.
The air conditioning
I had found a cockroach also when I would sleep I found multiple bug bites on my arms and face and also as I’m taking a shower a little shelf in the shower as I set my shampoo and conditioner it broke right off
Wszystko ok. Spory pokój. Zadaszone miejsce postojowe dla samochodu.
Mała lazienka. Dosyć ciemno. Brak górnego oświetlenia.
Tranquilidad
Deberían indicar, ya que las canillas de agua fría y caliente en el mismo baño están al revés en distintos artefactos
Ottima struttura consigliatissima! Stanza pulita, con cucina, Wifi, posto tranquillo con piscina
Era tutto ottimo
The receptonist was very nice and kind.
There was a kitchen but there was no plates nor cutlery.
Good location for Joshua Tree National Park. Clean room. Good shower. Plenty of hot water.
Very old motel, but they are keeping it tidy. Prices have obviously gone up for these basic motels. Mattress cover was very old and didn't stay in place, so sheets slid around during the night. And it didn't look like they changed the mattress cover between guests! Or the bedspread! Pool was very cold! No umbrellas on the pool deck, so hard to get a shady spot. Pool chair my husband was sitting in fell apart!
Great location close to Joshua Tree Park. Good pool, facilities were nice and very clean, rooms were spotless. Staff were friendly.
It was quiet
The property itself is pretty
The older middle eastern man at the front desk was rude and kept repeating 11am was checkout clearly annoyed we came in after 12am
Хорошее место для ночёвки по дороге в гранд каньон
Stanza e piscina pulite, ottimo per visitare il Joshua tree park
Convenient location
Just the AC very loud but it’s old installation nothing that can be done s
Pokoj příliš nevoněl, trezor nefungoval, na recepci neměl ani baterky na výměnu, natož je jít vyměnit. Ani v jednom ledovači nebyl led.
Motel jest zlokalizowany blisko Joshua Tree National Park - w sam raz na nocleg po zwiedzaniu. Dostępne wystarczające udogodnienia.
Ciasna łazienka, w której trudno rozwiesić mokre ręczniki do suszenia. Meble proszące się o wymianę. Można by było poprawić poziom czystości - znalezione włosy w pościeli. Specyficzny zapach w pokoju.
Gelegen aan de route, nette kamers en het zwembad is verfrissend. Op loopafstand verschillende de restaurant, het Thai café is een aanrader.
.
Location is good for accessing the park and 29 Palms shops/restaurants
The air conditioning unit is very noisy and comes on and off constantly which disrupts sleep. The bathroom had hairballs in the shower and we found several cockroaches.
Friendly check in, clean room. Good value.
The motel was wonderful—classic JT style, very comfortable, and perfectly located. But the highlight of our trip was definitely the staff. They were amazing, helpful, and made us feel right at home from the second we pulled in. We will definitely be back!
Everything was great
It close to downtown and staff was wonderful specially house keeping she was very hopeful and on top of thing specially towel what no other hotel does other hotel one two towel and still have to get a ugly look like if you bother them but with her no struggle just give us enough towel for two did have to go looking g for her thank you very much your awesome.
Parking need another of work one car for guest and hard to get out very bumpy
Loved the separate little rooms. Location was great.
Some other residents were loud and obnoxious.
Lokalizacja, otoczenie, oddzielna kuchnia
Wymagałoby odświeżenia, dosyć stare wyposażenie i umeblowanie
Good price, good room, comfortable, plenty of towels, shampoo, and soap. Also coffee and fridge. Very close to restaurants and shops. We would definitely come back.
Zu unserem Anreisezeitpunkt am Spätnachmittag war kein Personal vor Ort. Unter der angebebenen Telefonnummer war nur ein Anrufbeantworter zu erreichen.
有全套廚房
The pool was lovely, although surrounded by a sea of asphalt. The bathroom was nicely renovated with a great shower. Excellent water pressure!
The bed was lumpy and soft with a huge divet in it. The pillows were like bricks.
