Overall, a very good choice for staying in this area. We arrived a little early (1:45) hoping to check in before we went to Joshua Tree. We had a prepaid reservation. It did not appear to be busy at all, but the gentleman at the front desk said we couldn't check in until after 3. I'm quite sure there was a room ready and have never been refused a room when so close to check in time. He allowed us to put our luggage in the storage room. He was somewhat unaccomadating. When we returned later in the evening, we had to wait in a line to check in and get our luggage. The woman that took care of us when we returned was very nice & changed our opinion. The room was very comfortable. Great beds, excellent shower and top notch breakfast in the morning.
