Desert Inn

So this review is for the housing. Not the hotel rooms. Lets be clear on that first.The housing is ALWAYS extremely clean and well taken care of. I've never had a single issue with them. The garage is well lit and easily usable.The bathrooms are all clean.The bedrooms are all fresh linens and floor is vacuumed.Did the finger dust test on corners etc. I'd say 8 out of 10 no problem.Would I stay here again? yes. Like I said no issues with this place at all.They always treat me right every time I've been here. And I've been here at least 10+ times. Thanks guys!

Stayed here one night. The room was clean, though the comforter had a hole burned in it.There were 3 cars in the hotel lot when we arrived late evening. Before we even checked in, we were asked by one of those car owners, whose eyes were blood red, for a jump start. One star because at 7am we were woken up by yelling in the room next door. As the arguement spilled out onto the sidewalk, two males were chest to chest and looked like they were going to fight. Turned out that the OWNER/MANAGER of the hotel found out that our neighbor had been housing a cat. The owner initiated the arguement at 7am, demanding $20 for the undisclosed cat. Our neighbor, after about 45 minutes of arguing, dumped a shoe box of dirty cat litter in a trash can outside our window and departed the premises.The behavior of the owner and complete disregard for other guests was unacceptable - Consistent with a slum lord.The room was very cheap, but what's the point of a cheap room if you can't sleep because of the owner's temper? I almost threw $20 out my door to shut them both up.

Pleasantly surprised by this motel, it's very clean, the staff is extreemly nice, parking is great, long term tenants are extremely welcoming, nice, respectful and trusting. The price is the best in the area and it's very quiet so you get good rest.

A dusty rose in a dusty town!A very simple, inexpensive, clean but dated motel in Mojave. The family who runs it is very welcoming and accommodating. Rooms: While older and worn, they were very clean, including crisp clean linens. Noticed they were updating a room while we were there, so a refresh may be occurring slowly but surely. As advertised, free HBO was included :-). The bathrooms had been scrubbed clean and the shower was HOT. WiFi is free and works great. Ample parking. Rooms have frigs as well. From the road you may be tempted move into another Mojave option. But based on their overall review we gave them a shot and were very pleasantly surprised. It's not like there is a Marriott class option. Considering that, this is the place. The owners joy and hospitality really put this over the top.Highly recommend! Remember, this is a simple no-frills motel, but it's clean, friendly with cold A/C!Tip: leave the door open when you first arrive to air it out. Remember, you are in the high desert, rooms can get a little funky if they've sat for a few days without occupancy.

Small cozy and inexpensive, exactly what I was looking for. It's not the Hilton but I'd rather give my money to small business owners. The couple that run the place are extremely nice. This is definitely my new resting spot when I come through Mojave.

It's very clean and the owners are very friendly. It doesn't suffer from a lot of the typical motel downsides: it's well lit, clean, has good water pressure and amenities like in room coffee, hair dryer, etc. Really a very nice motel.

I've been staying here quite a few years as I travel through the area a couple times a year. The couple that manages it are exceptional but, sadly, this trip I have noticed the room I stayed in needs a great deal of attention, needs to be cleaned better, needs new paint, new curtains (stained and dirty), new bedspreads (multiple burn holes) and the towels are badly stained. Etc. it was just grimy feeling. I'm hoping the sheets were fresh :-( I only give it three stars because I love the couple who run it. I do hope a refresh is in the NEAR future. Otherwise I need to choose other accommodations on my next trip through the area.

We read a few good reviews and booked an overnight. The pros: dog friendly; friendly owners; clean sheets. The cons: pretty dilapidated; our room smelled bad--like the pet friendly policy gone wrong. To be clear, we also travel with a pet, but don't let it pee in the room. There are many soft spots in the floor and walkways. The property is generally dirty and unkept. The rooms may be non-smoking, but your neighbors will sit right in front of the rooms and smoke. It just seems like the owners are doing the bare minimum to operate.

Another good review. Rooms clean and acceptable.Management friendly. Price reasonable.Good sizes freezer in the room.

I give a five star rating everything was great. My only complaint was there was a drink in the fridge and I almost didn't receive my quote price for the room.
