    The Field station is a motel, located off the main highway. Pros + friendly front desk staff, + water available in the lobby + complimentary Wi-Fi + pool and hot tub available, towels available at the pool area. There's also a gender neutral bathroom by the pool for use. + the lobby area has several tables and chairs and seating if you wanna hang out. There are books about Joshua trees in national parks. There's also a few games available to play. + outside the motel, there were picnic tables, and fire pit for guest to use. + parking available + refrigerator in the room Cons - roughly 40-45 minutes from the Joshua Tree - no coffee maker or microwave in the room - the body wash was nearly empty during our visit - no ice machine, you need to go ask for ice at the coffee bar Overall, it was a pleasant stay. Can't wait to come back!

    The rooms are well appointed and clean. It's nice to have such a cool, dog-friendly option in the area. Beds are comfy and coffee at the front desk is included. I lucked out with an early check in. The front desk was super helpful (I got a flat tire and they recommended a tire shop). My dog loved the stay too.

    Lobby of Field Station, very modern, clean, and friendly.

    YELP SHORT ANSWER: As a sister business to AutoCamp, this is a different experience but very nicely done. LOCATION: This is a destination location near entry to Joshua Tree National Park, you need a reason to come here. Our stay was for a concert nearby. FACILITY: an highly update hotel, nice layout with pool and a lot of outdoor spaces. Very quiet. MENU: As a hotel, you'd be surprised what food they do offer in the lobby mixed use area... it's great.: STAFF: from check in to check out everyone was exceptional. OVERALL VALUE: I am sure you can find cheaper in this area but none nicer or a better value. We have stayed at AutoCamp which is amazing but double Field Station pricing and you need to stay two nights I believe. TIP: ask for a quiet room at booking time, this is a large hotel with some rooms getting highway noise.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. We arrived at Field Station Joshua Tree at 1 PM, excited to start our trip -- instead, we've spent hours sitting in the lobby with no room, no updates, and no idea when (or if) we'll actually check in. It's now two hours past the official check-in time, and the staff couldn't be less helpful. No manager on site, no communication, no accountability. Just a lot of blank stares and excuses. The staff is disorganized, and completely unprofessional. Field Station looks good online, but don't be fooled -- this place is a complete operational mess. Spend your money elsewhere.

    There's a lot to love about this motel. They did a really great job on the remodel. The grounds are nice, fire pits and space to relax throughout the property. I was happy to see a hospitality group take over the former sad ass Travelodge and give this place much needed love. Outdoor adventure theme is cool, with a little gear and apparel shop up front. I love the big minimalist rooms. Always clean with large firm mattresses. Was bummed that this stay in my room felt like constant mini earthquakes due to the construction on the adjacent road. Starts super early weekdays. Probably best to stay on the other side of the motel if possible. No fault of motel but they need to inform guests this is going on - it's pretty nuts. The pool and jacuzzi area are nice. Wish the pool was heated. Sweet cafe and lounge area and the staff are always amazing and incredibly helpful. I've been staying here since they opened and it's a convenient and relatively inexpensive option if you're headed to the park or pappy's for a show. I love that I repeatedly see the same staff at the front desk. Makes me think kindly of the management.

    My stay was almost great - clean, well appointed, attractive and modern rooms. Nice concept. Unfortunately, after checking out a mysterious charge appeared on my card. I called that same day for an explanation, got the runaround and was told to call back the next day when a supervisor would be on duty. I did, was told again that the charge was indeed suspicious, and that supervisors (Luke or David) would call me back. Of course they did not. So once again I called them, 2 days later. Neither deigned to take my call and instead sent a message thru the front desk clerk that these charges take at least 5 business days to fall off. Still no explanation for why someone tried to take an extra $84 off of me. This is shady and inferior hosp management and I won't be returning or recommending this establishment.

    What a gem! Sacred sands is a beautiful and relaxing boutique hotel near Joshua Tree National Park…read more My boyfriend and I came here for a weekend trip a couple of weeks ago. We only stayed for one night but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check-in instructions were sent via email and there's a code to unlock the room. The grounds are very pretty, perfect for a desert wedding or party. There are great views all around and there aren't any neighbors nearby. It looks like they own a lot of acreage nearby. The room we stayed in was the Onyx room. It was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. There are lots of nice additions in the room to ensure you enjoy staying in from wine glasses, a wine fridge, record player with a record collection, bath salts, star gazing area outside with a mattress, and comfy robes and slippers to use during your stay. If it were warmer, I definitely would've tried out the outdoor tub and shower but it was too cold at night to even think about it. There's also a large community pool in the works. As mentioned earlier, this hotel is about a mile from the NP so it's an excellent choice for anyone going there. It's also not too far from town so you're not too far from stores and cafes. I am definitely planning on staying here again!

    We loved it here! Incredibly relaxing, peaceful. Gorgeous decor and a very handy location…read more Well-appointed rooms, with a nice mini-fridge and pod-based coffee maker. Comfortable and beautiful outdoor sitting areas. It was so quiet here in the middle of the week. We could just lie outside on the patio bed and look at the stars. We will definitely be back!

    Review for Hicksville Trailer Palace Rating:…read more Hicksville Trailer Palace is definitely an experience. It's a great spot if you're looking for something unique in the Joshua Tree area, but there are a few things you should know before you head out into the desert. The Arrival & Check-In Getting here can be a bit of a puzzle. If you follow your GPS to the provided address, it will likely take you to Foxy Flats Road. The HTP directions suggest a different route but aren't the clearest. Pro Tip: Drive past Foxy Flats until you hit the stop sign, then take a left on Boarder and another left on La Brisa. If you have a truck or SUV, don't bother going the extra mile. Foxy Flats is bumpy in places but not that bad. Once we arrived around 7:00 PM, the vibe was a little awkward. Check-in is technically 3:00 PM - 10:00 PM, but the innkeeper, Jessica, seemed a bit put out that we didn't arrive earlier. It wasn't the warmest welcome, which set a bit of a rough tone for the start of the trip. The Stay & Maintenance The property itself is showing some age. We ran into a few maintenance hiccups during our stay: Lighting: We had a blown bulb in the bathroom (Jessica did fix this quickly once reported). Plumbing: We had no hot water initially. When we finally figured out how it worked, we found that there were only 2 settings: scalding and freezing. At least it was better than having to use the communal shower and toilet that most guests have to share. Overall Condition: You can tell there's been a general decline in the upkeep of the property and some of the equipment. The Highlights (The "Fun" Factor) Despite the rough start, the "Palace" shines when it comes to activities. It's 21+ and dog-friendly, which makes for a very chill, adult-playground atmosphere. We had a blast exploring the quirky amenities: Activities: Archery, BB guns, shuffleboard, and mini-golf. Games: Ping pong, darts, and a ball pit. Relaxation: A pool, hot tub, fire pits, and a cute little library. Final Verdict Is it worth it? If you want a one-of-a-kind, kitschy desert experience, it's worth staying once. It's fun, quirky, and full of personality, but just go in with managed expectations regarding the service and the "wear and tear" of the grounds.

Thank goodness, my impulse gave me some patience to scroll through available rooms at Pioneertown Motel's website. The Red Cabin caught my attention immediately. Although the website's description doesn't offer further detail on cabin amenities, feel free to call the office and ask your questions. At least Red Cabin parking is available at the backyard, next to Red Dog Saloon. I thought we had to park closer to the motel property and trek- since parking on Mane Street is frowned upon. I felt a review for the Red Cabin, specifically was needed- since I haven't stumbled upon one on Yelp or Google. There are NO tv's. If you are aware of that ahead of time, you were given a heads up. Since this is not mentioned on their website. Yes, there is a guitar & tambourine available. And I happily enjoyed both. Although, I'm sure I annoyed my husband and friends. LOL Record player available & many awesome records to listen to. Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Mama & The Papas, The Beetles, & Alan Jackson to name a few. Sadly, no needle available for the record. I spoke to the front desk & management said they were on order. Nespresso machines just arrived the day before our arrival. And one is also available in The Canteen. WiFi is strong inside and near the Red Cabin. Huge front porch that has cushioned seats and provides great shade from blistering sun. The AC was up and running when we unlocked the doors. Which would definitely come in handy during hotter days. Both bedrooms also offer tower fans and mini space heaters. In the middle of the night, somehow the heat kicked inside the cabin & I thought my friend who slept on the couch turned it up in the middle of the night- she didn't. And she thought it was us! So, I wonder if it's on an automatic timer? Also, when we checked into the office, I asked if there'd be enough blankets and pillows. She told us to check the chest/ trunk in the bedroom. When we did- there were pillows. So, after dinner (Pappy & Harriet's) we walked to the office for the extra blankets. As for the picture of the L shaped leather couch on the website for Red Cabin... that couch is no longer available. Which was one of the reasons we booked the Red Cabin. Instead- there are 2 couches. The black leather couch sits on a wooden frame. The leather support straps under the cushions won't hold much weight and there's no support DIRECTLY under both cushions, and you could fall through. Use with caution. The brown sofa has three sections and will shift while you're sleeping- if you move while sleeping. Yikes. The mattresses in both rooms are comfortable and we all got a good nights sleep. KITCHEN: *Mini stove *No microwave *Mini fridge *Toaster *Blender *Nespresso machine *Pots/ pans/ dishes Bathroom: *Shower stall w/ great pressure *Extra toilet paper/ tissue *Shower gel/ shampoo/ conditioner *Towels The backyard is huge!

Pioneertown Motel turned out to be so much more! Everyone here was SO friendly, just amazing! They have camp chairs in the rooms that you can use to go stargazing on the backside of the motel (also plenty of places to sit there). The room was super clean, the bed actually very comfortable. The Canteen was awesome, could grab some snacks, coffee, water and for us play some backgammon. Remember to book ahead as it seems that this place does book out (as it should), this will be our go to in this area every time. Thanks for the great stay Tom!

While the size of the room was nice, the layout left a lot to be desired. The only TV was so far away from the bedroom area that it could barely be seen, not to mention that it was set to face the kitchen area, not the couch or bedroom The couch felt like sitting on a stone bench and the bed was almost as bad! The mattress was covered with some weird, hard mattress cover. After the first night, we tried putting an extra blanket between the sheet and that mattress cover which helped but not much. The pillows were small and thin. We spent two nights trying to get a few minutes of sleep; didn't work out well. The water coming from the sinks was milky-- not sure if it was the hotel or the town, but didn't see it anywhere outside of the hotel. The shower head sucked as well as the water pressure from it. The bath towels were inconsistent-- one was a decent size and thickness, the other was so small and thin it barely dried me off We didn't need to use the kitchen which I'm glad about! The cabinets held dishes, pots and pans, etc but everything was stored haphazardly, most of it looked older than me and one of the drawers even held leftover onion garbage from someone else. This stay was so disappointing. We have stayed in Yucca Valley quite often over the last 30 years and I have always wanted to stay at this location.

You can tell this place is not very popular because there was barely anyone else staying here and it was Easter weekend. Walking into the room it has an older musty smell, was fairly clean overall, but no frills and no amenities whatsoever. We booked a suite and the bathroom (which was the nicest part of the room) had 2 washcloths, 2 hand towels, 2 bath towels. We had to ask for more towels. There was about 1/2 inch of toilet paper left and no spare rolls, had to ask for more TP. The room had a full kitchen but nothing else, no plates, cups, silverware, sponges, paper towels, dishes soap... nothing. They left 2 plastic wrapped throw away plastic cups on the table. There's no clock/alarm clock in the room so you can't tell what time it is. Finally found a completely trashed alarm clock in one of the cupboards in the kitchen and it was disgusting. There was no coffee maker in the room. No bottled water in the room. It kind of felt like someone possibly lives in this room when it's not rented out to customers? We felt ripped off at spending $345 for two nights. Besides the bathroom being okay, the only other nice thing about it was that the hotel was very quiet because nobody else was staying there. This place could be at least fairly decent if they gave it a little love but they don't. Our recommendation, stay away!

Mojave Sands was perfect for our stay. Only a few rooms on site, pretty secure to get in, easy to get to our room, and large enough to be comfortable for our little family. We were able to set up our Pack and Play in our room and then layout a play area in the living room by the kitchen. I really enjoyed our stay and what I mention next is not bad just tips that I would have liked to have known: We stayed in Suite 1 which was closest to the road and it was tough for baby to take his naps. The rooms have lots of windows but none of the shades fully block the window, again making it hard for him to take naps and, for adults, hard to sleep in when the sun is blistering through the windows at 7am haha (it doesn't matter we're up at 7 anyways), the kitchen was very small, I so wish it had a microwave or an oven. Lastly, the floors are concrete, which I'm sure is appreciated during the summer, but in the winter, even with the heaters on at almost 80 F, I was absolutely freezing when sleeping, i had to wear my slippers and a turtle neck to stop shivering. My husband was fine, but I'm a cold person and I wished I had an extra blanket. Location was great and close to the West entrance and super close to the visitor center and Road Runner cafe (side note, just go to Walmart a little further and get food for the park, Road Runner was expensive and the sandwiches were ok at best).

Everything went exactly as she'd said it would regarding receiving necessary gate codes, etc. We were not disappointed on arrival; this place is spectacularly special. Literally, a hidden oasis that has been thoughtfully, artistically created to provide a very unique zen experience. We loved the secluded, quiet vibe and it was so beautiful. We used the suite and one of the regular rooms. The suite was a two level masterpiece with plenty of seating, a small kitchen and carefully chosen art pieces that elevate the ambiance. It has picture windows that provide a dynamite view and you've got the option to draw blinds for privacy. The beds and linens were so comfortable that my Canadian friend said her husband got the best night sleep here; out of their entire trip to California. My room was perfect. Warm, so comfortable, and with a thoughtful artistic touch. The architectural details of modern, mixing hard and soft with an Asian zen/Americana 50' vibe. The icing on the cake was my golden retriever was also welcome. He thoroughly enjoyed having a safe, enclosed area to chill with his humans. For sure, the next trip to the 29 Palms side of Joshua Tree will include another stay here. Highly recommend here for a very unique, relaxed, pet friendly respite!
