Panorama Heights hotels in Joshua Tree

"Drapes were falling off the rod but that was minor issue. Motel was good for one night stay while visiting the Joshua Tree National Park."

"Where do I even begin? This hotel managed to fail on every single level. Let’s start with the ice machine, or rather, the science experiment masquerading as one. Not only was it broken, but the inside and outside were covered in stains. Unfriendly front desk doesn’t quite cover it. Unhelpful doesn’t either. What they were was aggressively indifferent — the kind of indifferent that takes real effort to sustain. Every question was met with a sigh, and every request was treated as a personal affront. The room itself was awful. The ceiling had mysterious stains, the kind you stare at in the middle of the night wondering about their origin and immediately regretting the thought. The door had patched holes — multiple — which raises questions I’d rather not have answered. And the smoke detector? No battery. None. The spa coordinator was somehow even less personable than the front desk — cold, dismissive, and seemingly annoyed that we wanted to use the spa at a hotel with a spa. As for the restaurant, we were served lasagna that was cold, not lukewarm, not “it cooled down on the way over,” but genuinely, structurally cold. Would I recommend this hotel? Only to someone I truly, deeply disliked.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

"We were here for one night. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was convenient to Joshua Tree National Park."

"Maybe I'm just a sucker for retro but after a hellish time of trying to find a Decent hotel on our way home last minute, we finally found this place...As soon as I walked I to the lobby I was transported back in time...this place is not trying to be old palm desert, it is! A little rought around the edges because of the age in some areas but I love the vibe and friendly staff and want to come back. We did eat at the lounge and not only was the food delicious, the bar was so old school and the female bartender, literally would bust out tunes and a microphone and sing a"

"Yes "

"Checking in was so pleasant, the staff treated us amazing and even though they were still making upgrades, everything was so lovely"

"Park visitor center is 15 minutes, Black Bear and IHOP nearby. Shopping center across highway. We were here in early March 2026, it is windy and cool at night. Room has good insulation, didn't turn heat on. Good blankets. Attempted hotel wifi, but it didn't work and not that important. Beware there is no wifi or cell coverage once you go inside Joshua Tree NP. It is the wilderness isolation you traveled for."

"Very convenient, clean and affordable "

"It was close to park, broken coffee maker took 2 asks to get replaced on 2nd day. Advertised gym but really a room with next to nothing for equipment. Entire place needs updating."
