Book with Motel 6 instead!

I’ve never had to leave a negative review like this one. Hotel site-manager allowed the booking, then was shouting loudly and completely rude upon check-in. I told him I didn’t know what his problem was but that this was clearly not the hotel for me. When I returned to front office for a copy of the receipt no one was there. Walking past the housekeeper I inquired about management and she said he had left for the day. !! So, needless to say I never got my money returned and he probably had a steak dinner that night. Unprofessional and bad for business! I feel embarrassed for his boss or the hotel owners because he is not a good representative of that establishment, unfortunately.

As there isn't any staff at the Starlight I had to go next door at the Oasis to check in. No staff, no breakfast, no ice machine. The room itself has been updated. Older furniture, but a comfortable bed (which is what counts for me).

Road noise

Second stay in two weeks. Good price, and I'd stay again. Main difference is, last time my room was back away from CA-62, and it was quiet. This time, i was in 202, near the highway. Serious road noise, magnified by the 3-4 cm gap (yes, that big!) at the bottom of the door, due to a broken door sweep. The frame and door were a poor fit, as well. Without leaving the fan running on high, it was too loud to sleep. Toilet had a slow leak from the tank through the bowl, so constant noise from that, too. But the bathroom is far enough away the noise wasn't noticeable from bed. Bed was fine. Shower was fine. Small refrigerator and microwave. Small in room coffee maker. If a small weak cup is enough, you're fine. Otherwise, short drive to Burger King or longer (mile and a half) to Starbucks.

Starlight Inn

Great for the price. Good location. Room had a minifridge and microwave. Seems it and the Oasis next door are in the midst of renovations. Check in was across the parking lot, in the Oasis. Only one guy on the frontdesk, not enough for the two hotels, and also fielding calls. Bit of a wait to check in. Carpet was moderately clean. Wallpaper looked new, but coming apart at the seams. The "Zen Garden" is a filled swiming pool with artificial grass over the dirt. Not a lot zen about that. The patio of the Oasis Inn was filled with beds and furniture. Apparently, Starlight guests can normally go there, but not the pool at the Oasis.

Good value motel. Easy to check in, easy to park, good location near the park entrance and grocery stores. My room was very clean but a little bit shabby - the wallpaper was peeling a bit, the amenity space looked to be under construction, etc. Still, good value for what I needed.

It was interesting that we checked into the motel by going to The Oasis next door. It made sense that there are a limited number of hotel workers in the community. We were very satisfied with the accommodations and the price for 2 day stay. We got to attend the retirement ceremony of a Marine Corps officer, the after party and drive into Joshua Tree in both the daylight and under the stars. It was a lovely weekend.

Having basic necessities good. Maintenace around and plants was good. The room entry way doesn't have the best secured thresh hold to keep the critters from coming in. The place has no pest control to lay a bug barrier on entry points. I stayed till the next morning. I mentioned the bugs in the room. They sure weren't shocked nor had any concerns if I could have any allergies. Luckly, I don't have but I can't sleep comfortably knowing bugs be roaming the room. The next day I moved to the second floor. felt nice and comfortable. Hours go by up stairs ,just disappointment when using the bathroom. I look down all I see is a cricket moving to my feet. After I look under the bottom sink and see like 3 or more Crickets. All I got was a one hour later checkout.
