Overall the hotel is great for the prices. The rooms are large with plenty of storage. The staff is very nice and helpful. The only complaint I really have about the place is the Internet, it advertises free wireless, but unless you are close to the office it doesn't work. Our room was all the way at the end from...

Why would someone want more than what we had at this motel when you visit Joshua Tree NP? Good rooms, good shower (a bit short but with good pressure), spotlessly clean. The bed could be better (they tend to have these soft mattresses) even though it was huge. The wireless connection could be much better. I'd also recommend 29palms as... More

Stayed here whilst on a road trip. Checking in was quick, guy was friendly and advised on places to eat. Lawned area to front was neat, didn't notice the pool on arrival but looked clean in the morning. Room was ok, ok size,ok decor, little jaded, cracked tiles in the shower area. Stain on carpet and burn mark on sheet,... More

We stumbled across this motel the night before we wanted to visit Joshua Tree. The town itslef is not much to write home about but this motel provided us with a clean, comfortable room for the night and at only $55 I couldn't really complain. The swimming pool was an addded bonus after a long day driving through the desert.... More

My wife and I stayed two nights in the Motel "El Rancho Dolores". The room we slept in was big enough to lay out our suitcases beside the bed. The cleanliness of the room is acceptable. If you have any questions, the employees at the reception help anythime. The location of the Motel is near the North entrance of the... More

I saw this hotel and thought I would give it a try since I was traveling by myself and more interested in Joshua Tree NP. First room I got was horrible. There were "unclassified hairs" all over the sheets - stains on the sheets, and burn holes in the cover blanket. It was late so I just went to the... More

I was very displeased and disgusted with the room that I was given. The room number is 124, and at three in the morning, my fiance and I got a rude awakening by rodents in the wall and in the closet. You could see where the rodents had knawed at the door and had made a hole in the wall.... More

The service at the front desk was very pleasant. The rooms are very clean and new renovations seemed to have been made to the furniture and bedding. Very cost efficient for a family with kids....there were many things to see and do in the area.

I come travel through 29 Palms about once a month and stay at various hotels. The El Rancho Dolores Motel is one of the best in the area. They have newly remodeled rooms and the staff is extremely friendly.
