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!

DO NOT STAY HERE!
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 but good fir a single night
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.

Only for a Very Short Stay
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.

Very good.
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.

Close to Joshua Tree NP, I'd stay here again!
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.

Close to Joshua Tree National Park
We stayed for 1 night while visiting Joshua Tree National Park. It is only 5 miles away. The room
Was very clean, had an updated bathroom a refrigerator with freezer, microwave and small coffee pot. There was a table and chairs which was nice for eating pizza after a long day of travel. The bedspread and curtains were outdated and the room would look much better if they were updated. Overall, for the price we paid, it was a bargain! As long as you aren’t looking for luxury accommodations, it is a fine place to sleep.

Impolite service
No hot water for showering, and manager question us why we can’t use the showering facilities, the answer is the equipment didn’t work ….
