Good

Nice place to stay and...

Liked: It was central in Joshua Tree and close to the entrance to the park lots of restaurants around and great pub at the local saloon. Baga on reception was extremely helpful.
Disliked: Quite dated.

Stop in Joshua Tree

Liked: This place reminds me of the "old highway motel". Needs work, but great potential. Great location. fun to stay, but don't expect much.Adequate.
Disliked: Just seeing the potential of this property not being pursued. This place could be a "boutique motel". But then of course the prices would go way up!

Good

Great value for money for...

Liked: .Although the motel is old-style it was really clean and comfortable. A lot of thought had gone into the room which included a table with two soft dining chairs. The walkin tiled shower was small but very clean and powerful. The outdoor pool although not heated was bliss and big enough for a proper swim. Extremely good value for money.
Disliked: There was confusion at check in as I had expected the money to have been taken prior to our arrival as per usual Bookings email. So when I was asked to pay the full amount I had to go online to check that it hadn't already been taken - which it hadn’t. However on the second attempt there was an error inputting the amount as the decimal point was incorrectly entered so that a 3 or possibly 4 figure amount would have been taken if we hadn’t noticed. It was sorted and we paid on another card but please ensure you check carefully.

Exceptional

Would

Liked: Convenient to Joshua Tree National Park
Disliked: Room was dirty, very dated, outlets were taped over, shower curtain was filthy, walls were dirty, no hook on back of bathroom door- just holes. Carpet was old and worn. Amazingly the bed was comfortable

Immaculate room. Ideally located

Liked: Safari Motor Inn is a traditional motel. The room was immaculately clean and adequate . It is situated right on the doorstep of the National Park. Within walking distance is the Joshua Tree inn which has an excellent menu, great staff and live music. Above all it was excellent value for money.
Disliked: Nothing

Passable

Liked: The member of staff who checked us in was extremely friendly and helpful. The room had a microwave and fridge. Free parking outside the room. The bed was large and comfortable. Fantastic location to Joshua Tree
Disliked: It wasn’t spotlessly clean, there were lots of hairs in the shower and some in the fridge. The aircon was noisy. The room is outdated and could do with modernising.
