Great pit stop to just sleep, shower, have a quick breakfast and get back on the road. The price was awesome for just a nights stay and the free breakfast was perfect to eat before heading on the road. We would definitely stay there again on a road trip

Old style hotel but clean and room was big enough for two. I liked extra sink in the room. Shower was a little broken and shampoo was not so good. BKF was good. Hotel staff were very nice.

Don't be thrown by the dingy street sign. The room was modernized and clean with a comfortable bed, the breakfast generous, the staff helpful. Great place to stay a night when passing through to Joshua Tree or Vegas. We'll be back!

This is not a luxury hotel, but it’s clean, quiet and might be the best value in California. It’s a 5/5 at that price. Breakfast was better than usual for a continental too.

We will definitely be back. In fact, I just made a reservation for next week. Clean room, good service, great breakfast especially the cream puffs. My husband said it was the best shower he’s ever taken in a hotel.

The room next door was loud, very thin walls. The place was clean and convenient. The TP was one ply and awful but otherwise serviceable.

The hotel was so cute! They have kept this hotel up and I loved that they kept some of the cute details like the do not disturb switch. The pool was nice and clean. Our room was very clean. Service was fantastic. Breakfast was great, lots of options. I will say bed was a little firm for my liking, but that’s just personal choice.

This was a one night stay on our way to California. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Good amenities (they even had a tooth brush and floss in the bathroom!). The breakfast was not very good. They started serving at 6:30 and when we get in there a little after 7 most everything was gone. Took about 15 minutes for them to restock. Eggs and potatoes were dry and chewy. Not impressed.
