In our search for a hotel between San Diego and Joshua Tree NP, we found this nice hotel: Hampton Inn and Suites Palm Desert. This hotel is located close to the I-10 and in the middle of the desert. When you arrive at the hotel, you get a warm welcome.
The room is very large with all the comfort you need. We booked a studio suite with a king-size bed. There was a small kitchen in our room with a microwave and a fridge. The bathroom was also very clean and has all the toiletries you need. Every weekday you get a free copy of a newspaper delivered to your room.
Breakfast is complimentary and served in the lobby. There was plenty of choice and they even had some hot items. You can also use the business center and the internet for no charge. They also have a large outside pool, and at the reception you get free pool towels.
We paid $85.50 for one night without taxes. The only minor thing on this hotel is that it’s a bit away from the village. It’s very isolated in the desert, but really close to the freeway. A very good choice for a one-night stop!!!
