Desert View Motel: Decent room on a budget

Basic, fairly clean, decent room with 2 double beds. Cable TV. Mosquitos were a small problem. Glass sliding door faced unfinished property in the back - not much of a desert or any other kind of view. Close to various restaurants and shopping centers. Fairly easy access to Joshua Tree National Park hiking trails and highlights.

• Opinion of Price: less expensive than average

Circle C Lodge, 29 Palms: Just what we wanted.

I found this Lodge on the internet several years ago but our California visit that year did not include 29 Palms. My brother went on a separate visit and found it without any prompting from me and was very impressed, so when we all went to Joshua Tree National Park together Circle C was our first choice for accommodation. We were 3 couples - me my younger brother abd sister and our respective spouses. My sister & her husband havelived in North America for over 40 years.
We each had a very large room (all American hotel/Lodge Rooms seem like ballrooms in comparison with European Hotel rooms.)

There were two large beds , sofas and chairs, a small fitted kitchen diner and the rear doors opened onto the gardens and pool area - all kept in beautiful condition.

At the far end of the pool was the reception office and the communal room in which a self-service breakfast was served and included in the price. Simple but adequate.

At the end of the pool nearest to our rooms, set into a granite wall, there was a built in BBQ and tables and chairs for out door dining.

Around the pool there were plenty of loungers and chairs - and a plunge pool. The main pool was heated - a little too much for 6 hardy Brits!

Unique Quality: Excellent accommodation in clean and well tended surroundings. A very relaxed atmosphere to come and go as you please. Friendly Hosts and staff. We would ceratinly return if going that way again.
This was a couple of years ago and I cannot remember what we paid but it struck us as not just inexpensive but remarkably good value for money.

Joshua Tree Inn: Inn in Joshua Tree

I stayed here because I am a huge Gram Parsons music fan. This is the hotel where he met his demise. Although the hotel was old and dated, it was very nice and comforatable.

Unique Quality: This Inn has a pool, and is located on the main highway a couple miles from the North Entrance to the Park.

Motel 6: They leave the light on for you

There are a huge amount of motels outside of the park. I just picked the Motel 6 for the heck of it. I am sure I could have gone way cheaper, but I wasn't overly interested in a deal. I just wanted a good place to stay so I could get up early in the morning and start my day.

Motel 6 is pretty basic stuff with cable tv, phone, and full bathroom. It wasn't the cleanest I had ever seen, but it was good enough for me to rest at. The rate for 1 person is $40 and for 2 people is $46.

there are 9 campgrounds in Joshua Tree: Camping Fees

Campsites are generally first come, first serve in the park. The only places you need to make a reservation for are sites at Black Rock, Indian Cove, and all group sites. (1-800-365-2267) Fees range from $5 to $35, depending on the site. Each site also has an area at the entrance where you can put your money in a small envelope, and then slide that payment into a metal box.
