I love the upgrades it’s very cute and having two rooms was nice but there were some little things that brought down its score like a screen missing on the bathroom window, anyone could reach in. I didn’t like the old sponge left on the kitchen counter. Maybe they should leave a clean dish rag and towel, I used a washcloth and hand towel. The pool is not heated but is beautiful. The beds were small but clean and comfortable.

Enjoyed our stay. Had to get use to avoiding contact with noisy metal bed base. The toilet seat in room 125 is oval on a round toilet rim. Not good for men when seated.

Old motel, tooo expensive.

Dated old motel. Small room with tinniest shower I've seen. Price was too high for an old motel room. Expected it to be upgraded.

Reasonably priced. Our room was a little close to the main highway... not a problem unless police were haring by with sirens blaring.

It was surprising how big the kitchen area was, including a 3/4 size fridge, a stove, a microwave and even a 2-seat eating area, in the room! Parking in front of the door, and the entire staff was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

This place is cute! Compared to the larger chain motels in the area, I would choose to stay at El Rancho Delores every time due to the vibes. For such an affordable stay, the quality of the motel was very impressive!

Clean rooms. We enjoyed the family suite option with three beds and a small kitchen. The pool is clean, beautiful and nice and cool. The manager was very accommodating. We had to stay in town after check out because of an online work meeting and he let us stay so our kids could play in the pool while we waited. He gave us a place to change afterward. The location is just down the street from the entrance to Joshua tree National Park for easy park entrance. Highly recommend.
