This family run hotel was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable and the room was good. It was only a few miles from the national park entrance which was our goal. The pool area was nice, but could have used an umbrella. The staff was very accommodating. I would stay here again th the future.

Cute and clean! Easy parking and great rates. We are in 29 Palms/Yucca Valley a couple times a month and we found this place. Simple rooms but very convenient, quiet, and clean. Its not fancy but its all we need when we are there for a night or two. Comfortable bed and pillows!
