Field Station Joshua Tree

I have stayed at every hotel in Yucca Valley and on June 7th, I paid $243 for one night at this hotel and I would never stay here again. 1. First, I showed up at 4:45 pm and I was told "my room wasn't ready." At nearly 5pm, this is unacceptable. 2. Then they had the nerve to charge me an additional $150 hold for 5 days for "damages" what? 3. no coffee service in the room, nothing and not even a glass available. 4. They had the nerve to charge $3.50 for a coffee in their over priced lobby packed with merch.

This relatively new (renovated) hotel is near Joshua Tree, and only a 10 minute drive to Pioneertown. Everyone who works here is incredibly friendly and genuinely seems to want to help in any way they can. Very clean property and the hot tub is actually hot! It's my go-to when I come up to the hi-desert!

The place was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The bed and linens were very good, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds offered multiple options for entertainment (pool, hot tub, fire pits with adirondacks, jenga, cornhole, and connect four. There were picnic tables and bocce as well. The only downside was that the shower doors did not seal well so there was a wet mess on the floor afterward. Also, there were some small gnats flying around in the bathroom, and a couple of small rugs might have been nice on the floor, around the bed. We enjoyed our stay here.

Awesome place to stay. Kids enjoyed the pool. Room was very clean.

Amazing property! Very spacious and comfortable room. A big and clean pool for cooling off in the afternoon and a firepit and a jacuzi for a cozy night. Lots of outside games to play on the property. Easy parking close to the room.

Very nice

All updated, simple, clean and reasonable in cost.

Very comfortable beds, great staff, pool was a bit cold, would come back!!

Super nice property, great staff and awesome amenities! I'd stay here again and again. Great for the outsydoorsy! Great for families and adventure seekers. Great for everyone. Loved the staff, each and every person we encountered were so kind and friendly! Wonderful hotel!

So nice!

Perfect 2 night stay. Beautiful room - modern, useful features like toilet paper holder was climbing rope and carabiner on a hook. Classy stone floor and peaceful grounds with desert flair and outdoor seating. All this a very comfortable bed, great shower and so easy to get too.

Such a great remodel of this hotel! I highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in Joshua Tree. Please note: checkout time is at 11:00 (not 10:00 as was listed in my confirmation email!).

Close to Pappy and Harriet’s. Convenient. Nice pool and jacuzzi.

Anniversary trip and the staff was great. Will return.

Field Starion is a perfect blend of luxury and rustic set in beautiful Joshua Tree. A perfect retreat after a day of adventure!

Perfect for our family of 5- enough space, comfortable beds, nice design in the bathrooms and reception, kids loved the pool, cactus gardens with a fire pit, pic nic tables and games (Boccia).

Very clean, excellent staff.

This stay was the first time in a long time we were sad to check out of a hotel. Would be thrilled to return.

We went to Field Station for vacation in Yucca Valley to be near Joshua Tree NP. The room was at the far rear end, no view, just the car park. Other rooms on the main building had chairs & tables on a mini terrace overlooking a fire pit. People upstairs walked around at 4.30 / 5am, getting ready for a sunrise hike - the insulation isn’t great. The decor wasn’t quite what it looked like on the web, not as stylish & felt smaller. There could have been a bit more art or shelves in rooms - it felt like they’d cut a few corners & hadn’t fulfilled their vision and the refurb budget fell short. The couch was a 2 person folding camping couch (we saw this in the web pics but thought there would also be another couch since the room was for 6 people!)…The other seating furniture was like a folding directors chair. The bunk beds didn’t have reading lights - could be such a cheap & easy addition. Overall it was clean & modern. The pictures of a 6 person room on the web showed a bath & shower - our bathroom was tiny, it was literally a shower cubicle & toilet in the smallest space! The pics of the pool looked slightly bigger on the website & it was quite cold & felt dated. Note that there was no housekeeping, which I can understand being in its location. Overall its vision & branding is great, but it doesn’t quite deliver - it could do with just a few minor improvements & maybe have photos that don’t use wide angle so you get a true representation of size & aren’t disappointed.
