Joshua Tree Inn keeps its beauty behind the secure gates for you to discover. If you want a cookie-cutter, same hotel experience as you always have, this is not the place for you. If you want a real break from the everyday and to feel the magic and energy of Joshua Tree, then this IS the place for you! ||First, this was one of the best check-ins I've ever had. The business of the payment, signing all paperwork, etc. was done quickly. Then we had a tour of the property which has beautiful landscaping, a burbling fountain, and a gorgeous, newly renovated pool area. There are plenty of peaceful outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the desert air. ||We had the Phil Kaufman suite which was more than adequate for our 2-night stay. The bed is super comfortable and the sheets are nice and soft. The bathroom is smaller than you may be used to, but it's part of its charm and besides, you're not there to linger in the bathroom, right? ||Highly recommend Joshua Tree Inn for your desert escape. ||Notes: | - There is one outside smoking area.| - The Phil Kaufman suite has a coffee maker, microwave, and small fridge| - At check in you are given a code to use for all the locks on the property. No need for a key!| - The bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, and bar soap in case you forget toiletries.| - The front desk is not manned 24/7, but there is a number you can call that is posted in your room and an indoor area with a phone in case you don't get service. Basically, assistance is a phone call away if you need it. | - The towels are actually really small, so recommend asking for a couple extra should you want one for body and separate for hair. ||
