Starlight Inn & Suites Motel 29 Palms Joshua Tree National Park

There were five cockroaches, four dead and one alive. There was one hand soap in the bathroom but no soap or shampoo in the shower. We were only two guest and only received two bath towels. The bath towels were paper thin. Horrible experience.

An important thing first. If you want breakfast included, book your room at vantage hotels dot com. Book at other sites, and you are not entitled to breakfast. And its a good breakfast, so you should want it. Good location for exploring Joshua Tree NP. The room heat worked, but was imprecise. Thermostat let the room temp go up and down over a very wide range. You have to check in at the hotel next door. If you want ice, you'll need to haul yourself to the hotel next door. Breakfast also at the hotel next door. Wireless internet was weak (and I was using a new tablet purchased just 2 weeks earlier). Bed very comfy, shower good, property generally quiet at night, though its a motel style, so the cars are right outside the room doors. We were on second floor, so the cars did not cause a noise issue. Mini fridge worked, microwave worked. Everything was very clean. Solid grocery store within easy walking distance. The hotel is located on a busy road, not an interstate, but expect an ongoing level of road noise - its better of course if your room is back from the road (which ours was). Kudos to the staff, all were very polite, super friendly and very helpful. Cleaning staff, front desk staff, breakfast person - everyone was without exception great! If your a fuss budget, you'd be wise imo to spend an additional twenty or thirty bucks a night, and go for one of the better hotels in town. But if you are a basic person (or couple), just looking for a place to snooze with few frills, this hotel will work for you. It's a good economy option.

My requirements are pretty simple. Clean, secure without paying an arm and a leg. The Starlight Inn (formally Americas Best Value Inn) does all three. This is where I choose to stay on my frequent trips into Joshua Tree NP. I've stayed in other motels in the area and this is my go to. Good location with a supermarket, dollar store and fast food within walking distance. The rooms are clean, the bathroom roomy, the wifi is fast and comes with a small fridge, microwave and coffeemaker. The staff especially Cameron are very helpful, professional and pleasant. Also my requests for an earlier check in have always been honored and lastly I don't think (I know) you wont find a better price than the Starlight Inn for what it offers, a major reason for me coming back again and again.

Worst place to stay In 29. Dirty and drug filled. Garbage everywhere. Staff as high as the guest. Really bad owner who could care less how their property is. This is not a place to have childern, really unless. No security at night. Don't forget about the bedbugs

Old worn out hotel near the Joshua NP, clean-ish but the a/c was making a lot of noise. The check in was easy and fast, the room was medium and was kind of old, there really needed to do some makeover or lower the prices. It's a good place to stay one night if you are planning on visiting the park.

Clean room and responsive staff. I would recommend it to anyone who wants reasonably priced accommodations. The Joshua tree national Park is a magnificent location. This hotel is near the north western most entrance to the park. When you are there, check out the garden surrounded by the motel buildings. It’s absolutely lovely good
