Pioneertown Motel

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely beautiful room which had the most comfortable bed that I have ever slept in. The motel was right in Pioneer town and next to Pappy and Harriet's and the member of staff that checked us in was very pleasant and helpful. The room is like that of a boutique hotel. It is basic in that there is no TV, microwave, coffee machine or breakfast included but that said it is still a great place to stay and the simplicity adds to it's charm. There are seats to put outside for stargazing and hammocks outside to lay in. There is also a room where you can make yourself tea, coffee or hot chocolate. It is simply beautiful.

The staff (Renee) was phenomenal -- very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The environment was great with fun amenities, from Pappy and Harriet's, to the outside fireplace, to the little craft/boutique shop, to the comfy chairs to take outside and stargaze.
