This is a comfortable, quiet, return to the 50s/60s. It is a vintage motel set around a gorgeous courtyard with pool and palms. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and quiet--with a staff who do all they can to make your stay comfortable. The locale is ideal--a three to five minute stroll and you are on El Paseo, the main shopping/dining... More

My husband and I have been staying at this little gem of a motel ever since it's remodel by Candra Scott & Anderson, the interior design firm that also re-did the Rex in San Francisco. Unfortunately the current owners don't understand the retro 40's chic that the design firm created. As things break, wear out or need repair they're being... More

Stayed at The Mojave during Memorial Day wknd this year. A small resort tucked away in a residential area, it's pretty quiet, location is close to El Paseo too. Overall it's ok, but it shows signs of wear and some repairs are needed, around the grounds, the bathroom in our room, small stuff here and there. The staff were great,... More

I've stayed at the Mojave Resort at least 3 or 4 times. The property looks mid-century and well maintained. They have a nice pool and jacuzzi, though to my liking the pool is usually a few degrees too cold. They serve a cold buffet breakfast with cereal, yogurt, toast, etc. More

The Mojave Resort is a fine place to stay if you just want a hotel with a pool in Palm Desert. It's clean and comfortable. I've have been here four years with a large group of friends and family and loads of kids. Each year I organized the trip and stay in touch with the owner about blocking out the... More

My cousin and I needed a getaway weekend. We chose Memorial Day 2011 and we stayed both Saturday and Sunday nights. When I arrived, I was so surprised to see that I had unconsciously chosen the same hotel my extended family had stayed at 13 years ago when we were celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Back then, the place... More

Stayed over Memorial Day weekend. Intimate, 24-room little hotel/motel close to El Paseo. Retro feel, lovely photos in lobby and room. All rooms circle pool/spa/garden area. This makes for exceptional convenience and, when the pool area is not crowded, a peaceful and pretty setting for relaxing outside reading or for swimming. Beds are good. If they're going to stick with... More

For the past 6 years, we have been visiting the Mojave Resort. We are part of a group of families that visit the Mojave for Father’s Day weekend (yes, 1 weekend out of the entire year). It is a special time for us because it allows us to reconnect and spend an enjoyable weekend of fun in the sun with... More

We enjoyed the peaceful gardens, warm pool and happy conversation in the hot tub with two delightful sisters. I got some work done by the pool, then took a dip and swam laps. Bev enjoyed shopping in El Paseo a stones throw away. Great restaurant Jillians mile away. Coffee in the am was great and ate my raisin bran in... More

During the weekend of June 18-20, we were looking forward to a peaceful couple of days of relaxation at the Mojave. For the past 10 years we have enjoyed the solitude and retro charm at The Mojave. The quaint atmosphere of the hotel was lost to what was a reunion weekend for about 8 families with at least 15 children... More
