Beds were clean and comfy but kinda short. Great water pressure. Awesome pool, deeper than I expected. Only downside was AC only in one room. Connected room had fan. With door open it was fine, but not if you wanted privacy and cool temperature

Dated old motel. Small room with tinniest shower I've seen. Price was too high for an old motel room. Expected it to be upgraded.

This place is cute! Compared to the larger chain motels in the area, I would choose to stay at El Rancho Delores every time due to the vibes. For such an affordable stay, the quality of the motel was very impressive!

Friendly check in with help on checking out some of the nearby locations. Front desk came to check on us to see if we needed anything more for the room. Very pleasant.

There was poo left in the toilet and it smelt worse than anything I've ever smelt. Not to mention the pubes in the bed and the thick layer of filth on everything. It obviously hadn't been cleaned in a long time. I left immediately and complained, but the guy at the desk wouldnt give me a refund.

Older property. Clean and OK. Beds are noisy due to a metal frame that oil pans as you sit on it or move. The staff was friendly and quick. Well located and easy to find.

This place is suitable for a very short stay when visiting Joshua Tree National Park. However, if you have other options, think twice. The bedding was extremely dirty, yet reeked of disinfectant. And don’t expect warm water—because there isn’t any. After staying here, we got sick, which completely ruined the rest of our trip.

We had a very good stay. The room was clean. When we got back from our trip to the National Park the room did smell a little musty, it's the desert. We opened the windows for a bit and all was good. The hotel is very close to the entrance to the National Park.
An excellent location to Joshua Tree NP. The hotel room had a kitchenette which was great. Stove, microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker, and a small bar to eat at. I would stay again.

Very clean quiet, great people, and great views. I love Motor Inns like this. Unfortunately, most of them are no longer in good condition. This property was in excellent condition.
Easy walk to the center of town and great views.

This is a solid two star hotel. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean, I appreciated that there was no carpeting. Shower had hot water. Heater worked well, which is great because the nights were chilly. This motel is a little worn and shabby, but suited my purposes well. A reasonably priced place to stay after day hiking in Joshua Tree NP. Close to the not-as-busy park entrance in 29 Palms. And walking distance to downtown with good options for dinner, which I appreciated very much. I would stay here again.

The hot water in room 116 was on the right side and the cold on the left at the bath sink. No hot water in the am either. Washed with cold water. Brrrr. Call a plumber.
