“High Desert Motel evokes a certain roadside nostalgia with clean, if basic, accommodations. Rooms have been recently updated and include practical amenities like a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. While soundproofing could be improved and the AC units are a bit dated, the overall value, particularly with the inclusion of a pool, is notable for a short stay near Joshua Tree.”
