Pioneertown Motel
What Guests Say
Rene at the front desk was fantastic! From her warm and informative welcome to troubleshooting when I needed it she was outstanding. The location was perfect for proximity to the historic Pioneertown set, shops, Pappy & Harriet's, and local sightseeing that included Joshua Tree. The bed was super comfortable, as was the bedding and pillows. I loved the local liquid hand soap and body lotion. It was quiet and I slept well. I also enjoyed the canteen that had fresh brewed complimentary coffee, tea and water. It was a particular pleasure to grab a warm cup of coffee and watch the spectacular sunrises that only the desert can offer.

By far - the kindest, most accommodating staff I've ever experienced in all my travels. They went out of their way to ensure that my friend and I were comfortable, had everything we needed, and took the time to chat about the motel and surrounding area. They gave recommendations to other small businesses, and talked to us about the lore of Pioneertown. Just a pleasant experience all around.

We had a great two-night stay at Pioneertown Motel. The rooms have been thoughtfully renovated and decorated but have remained nicely in keeping with its old-world, pioneer charm. If a famous actor / actress once stayed regularly in your room, the lovely staff will let you know. Modern bathroom, nice size, great products. Temperatures dropped to freezing during the night when we were there but the heating in the room kept us toasty warm. Enjoy the starry night sky just outside your door, and hot chocolate in the common area. Don't miss the merch at reception for souvenirs.

This a weird, amazing place that really must be experienced. In some ways it’s glamping; in other ways it’s staying at a rustic inn with perks. We liked that we could walk to the Red Dog Saloon for margs and dinner; we liked we were close to Joshua Tree. When we were there the temperature had dropped and wind picked up so sitting outside in the hammocks was not possible. Hands down the bed and the pillows were the best. Over our trip we stayed in 4 other hotels before the Pioneertown, and none had the combo of excellent bed and excellent pillows like this place. We slept like a dream.

We drove a long way to attend a wonderful concert at Pappy & Harriet’s on 26 March 2025. The motel is an easy walk from the venue. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a nice hot shower and cool tile floor. There were board games and a guitar in the room. No TV, but WiFi for our mobile devices. Really good coffee in the canteen room in the morning.

Definite Frontierland vibe at the Motel and along Mane Street. Historical significance. Night sky. Proximity to Red Dog Saloon and Pappy & Harriet’s.

Everything! We dressed up and we to the saloon and had a blast with live music. Motel is very well kept up, hosts are incredible, atmosphere is through the roof. Even got to taste some bagels in the morning, in additional to coffee and pastries provided by the Motel. Also spent some time walking around and met a few city residents, loved the talks and laughs

This charming property is located conveniently enough to the Joshua Tree National Park but is an attraction in its own right. It is a pioneer village as its name implies so dust is always going to be a problem but it is easy enough to live with. Tom was extremely helpful to us especially as I had booked the wrong date and my wife ha a touch of flu.

A slice out of a western movie for sure. Rustic and not overdone. A broken bedside lightbulb was immediately and cheerfully replaced.

This hotel was a magics experience. The location was breathtaking - you have incredible sunrise/sunset views and places to stargaze. There are a few bars/restaurants that you can reach on foot which were great! The staff were very kind and helpful and really helped us settle in. The rooms were beautiful and the beds very comfy. I am absolutely raring to go back!
