Close to the national park and they quickly gave us extra towels after we asked them. The room was a little outdated but not bad. It was quite spacious, but unfortunately the walls were quite thin and we heard our neighbors.

Best Bang for the Buck staying in Twentynine Palms

Haven't found a better deal than the Starlight Inn for our frequent trips to Joshua Tree NP. Have stayed many times before and the Starlight Inn continues to be the best deal for the price than any other place we've stayed at. We require only a clean and safe accommodation and the Starlight Inn fits the bill and is the best priced motel we've found which has us coming back again and again.

There wasn’t any staff, the guy from the hotel next door checked me in, he was very nice. The website says there are three restaurants on site, there are none. The outside needs a re fresher. There is no shampoo or conditioner. The bed was hard but I like that, most people wouldn’t.
