Across the reviews, Starlight Inn & Suites Motel 29 Palms Joshua Tree National Park is praised for low prices and a convenient location for park visits, but feedback varies widely on room upkeep, noise, amenities, and staff experience.
Rooms are simple and dated, with in-room fridges and microwaves, but recurring issues include thin walls, highway noise, and occasional equipment failures. Cleanliness and service are inconsistent-some report very clean rooms and friendly, accommodating staff, while others note odors, bugs, limited housekeeping, and unhelpful or absent onsite staff. Facilities are limited: check-in is next door, the pool is not in use, and some reviews note no breakfast or ice machine. Best for budget-minded visitors who can accept trade-offs in comfort and services.

We used a set of bedding we brought from home. The motel bedding was really old. The bed was clean though. There was still trash on the floor (see picture) that I came across plugging in my charger. This place has no front desk, you have to go to the hotel next door to check in/out or ask for anything. Do not ask for a washcloth or a face towel they don’t do that anymore. I went and bought my own, no biggie. They do not have enough body towels at any given time. They did not replace the bath mat towel that I brought to her either. Door was broken at the bottom (see picture). There something on the ceiling and stains on the lampshades and walls. It does come with a microwave and a mini fridge which was nice, a/c/heater worked just fine. Interacting with the Starlight staff was awful, but the Oasis next door was great, thank you Nadia!

Clean, comfortable and convenient to spending our time in Joshua Tree Park. We appreciated the room’s mini kitchen for making simple meals. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin. The outdoor former “pool” area leaves much to be desired. It would have been nice to share outdoor facilities with the neighbour sister hotel next door.

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.

The parking was limited. The lobby is in another adjacent hotel. The fridge was loud and noisy. The exhaust fan was very noisy. I stayed for 8 nights and only received room service once when I asked and said I would tip. I needed fresh towels and that is what was brought. I ran out of sundries and bought my own.

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).

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.

When I booked this hotel I thought I had booked a room with a jetted tub. Nope, no jetted tubs. No Pool or Jacuzzi either. No elevator either and that made for a difficult time getting luggage up the stairs by myself. The room décor as old and could use some updates. Pillows were like some kind of half pillow... weird! Next time, I'll stay near Joshua Tree to hopefully have a better standard at the next hotel.

Haven't found a better deal than the Starlight Inn for our frequent trips to Joshua Tree NP. Have stayed many times before and the Starlight Inn continues to be the best deal for the price than any other place we've stayed at. We require only a clean and safe accommodation and the Starlight Inn fits the bill and is the best priced motel we've found which has us coming back again and again.

Everything was great except the pillows. Bring your own or be okay with mildew smell all night. Clean your remote with alcohol, it's gross too. They do have full size refrigerators and the hotel is located next to a grocery store which is super convenient.

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.

Clean enough, friendly staff, but when I checked in, my TV didn't work. And my phone didn't work, which kept me from calling the front desk to tell them (I did ask for and got new batteries for the remote, but that wasn't the solution). Later, they claimed to have fixed the TV, but it still didn't work..

Third time here in two months. It's been cheaper than Motel 6. Generallt quieter, too, unless you get a room near the highway. Room was fine. Two issues with my stay. First i discovered was no soap. They had a tube of shampoo and a tube of lotion, but no soap. The other issue, i didn't discover until later: The minifridge wasn't working. The eyedrops that i need to keep cool were room temperature. It was plugged in, and the internal knob was turned to coldest, but it did not cool. Well, three issues, i guess: the toilet was only semi-functional. Didn't flush properly. At the price point, i'll give them another try, but may eventually just cough up more to stay somewhere more reliable.

If you get the room through Travelocity or any other site you don't get to use any of the amenities. Because you didn't go through the motel. They don't help you by correcting the problem that you didn't know about. They tell you that there is nothing they can do. And this was from management. so you just have a room and they charge you for everything as extra. All the way down to house keeping. This was the first time I have ever experienced this in my life. The check in guy was the best part of being there. He was very friendly and nice. After that the hotel sucked. They didn't even try to help . Don't stay there.

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.

They didn’t give me my refund or a receipt due to them changing the rules and request that I give them an additional 100$ cash deposit, I didn’t have cash and spend everything I had on the room. I was told to go somewhere if I didn’t like that. And they never gave a refund or a receipt and changed me over 150$ I’m still fighting with my bank to get this back. Do not stay here unless you want to scammed

Location
Convenient for Joshua Tree National Park and near grocery stores and Highway 62. Road-facing rooms can get traffic noise, while others find the setting quiet.

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.

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.

Haven't found a better deal than the Starlight Inn for our frequent trips to Joshua Tree NP. Have stayed many times before and the Starlight Inn continues to be the best deal for the price than any other place we've stayed at. We require only a clean and safe accommodation and the Starlight Inn fits the bill and is the best priced motel we've found which has us coming back again and again.

Easy access from Highway 62. Great customer service from staff, very friendly. We had issues with toilet and they provided key to exterior bathroom.

Everything was great except the pillows. Bring your own or be okay with mildew smell all night. Clean your remote with alcohol, it's gross too. They do have full size refrigerators and the hotel is located next to a grocery store which is super convenient.

Clean, comfortable and convenient to spending our time in Joshua Tree Park. We appreciated the room’s mini kitchen for making simple meals. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin. The outdoor former “pool” area leaves much to be desired. It would have been nice to share outdoor facilities with the neighbour sister hotel next door.

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).

Clean enough, friendly staff, but when I checked in, my TV didn't work. And my phone didn't work, which kept me from calling the front desk to tell them (I did ask for and got new batteries for the remote, but that wasn't the solution). Later, they claimed to have fixed the TV, but it still didn't work..
