NatureTrvlr is not mistaken. We stayed at Joshua Tree Inn about 1/4 or 1/2 mile west of intersection of Twenty Nine Palms Hwy/Park Blvd. But we dealt with the husband innkeeper so wife innkeeper may not have seen us. There is a Holiday Inn Express at 71809 Twenty Nine Palms Blvd but it is a few miles down the road from Joshua Tree Inn. Joshua Tree Inn is cute but way overpriced given the condition of the bed and physical facilities. Bed was REALLY squeaky. I was constantly waking up from the squeaking noise every time I rolled over in my sleep.

Knowing this was a historic inn, I didn't expect everything to be up-to-date. That was part of the charm. But for 90 bucks a night, this is what we got:

Forget "complimentary breakfast." I browsed it early one morning and it looked as though there was something like half a jug of milk and some old bagels put out.

The beds. Oh. My. Where on EARTH did they get these brick hard, SQUEAKY mattresses from? Good Will? The squeaking was so loud with even the slightest move, that BF and I couldn't even hear each other speak or even the television. I had to get one of the blankets from the closet, roll it up and use it as extra padding so I didn't have springs digging into my hips! Not relaxing at all when you've spent a day trekking out in the park.

Be prepared to hear everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that your neighbors do.

What appear to be single paned windows do not keep drafts or heat out. Can be hard to regulate temperature in the rooms. The owners could invest a little extra in that, in my opinion.

Bathroom lighting awful. Rooms are very, very dark. This would be a rather easy fix, IMO.

Good points: Showers had nice pressure. The landscaping with the fragrant lilacs is very nice. The folks that run the place (are they the owners, too? not sure) seem friendly.

Overall, though, this place needs a serious facelift. Either that, or lower the rates to customers, because I think I would have slept better in a tent.

A must for fans of Gram Parsons or those interested in one of the most bizarre episodes in rock history. Conveniently located near the JT park entrance and a very good Thai restaurant. Stayed in #9, Emmylou's room. No ghosts reported.

This is THEE place to stay if you are touring through & playing at Pappy & Harriet’s or anywhere else in the desert for that matter .
Three Chord Justice always stays here when we are gigging at P&H & we just LOVE it!
Grams room is always our first choice but we recently stayed in the Emmy Lou room & it’s beautiful!
Also, check out the other super hip pads they rent out on the property closer to the park.
The entire band can stay at these places & that makes it affordable.
JTI ROCKS!
See you later this year!
