It’s located close to one of the lesser used entrances of the park so it’s very convenient and easy to get in and out. All their rooms are studio suites with separate sitting areas like little living rooms with a desk and sofa and chair. They have either one king bed or two queens.
I had two queen beds and the room was huge. Everything was clean, the beds and pillows were very comfy. I loved having the separate living room area. But the couch was terribly stiff and uncomfortable lol. They do give a foot stool and table by the couch which was nice.
All the rooms come with a fridge, microwave, and small standard drip coffee makers (not Keurig). They have a separate little counter space with the fridge and coffee maker which is nice too. But the coffee they provide is not great so I went out and got some of my fave from the grocery store.
The bathroom is quite large with plenty of counter space. Water gets hot fast in the sink and shower both. Water pressure is just ok and they definitely need to replace the shower heads - mine was old and had lots of hard water mineral build up. The bathroom was mostly clean with the exception of some long hairs in the bathtub.
The TV in my room had no volume or audio. I notified the front desk - they were well aware as it seemed to be an ongoing issue and they taught me how to fix it. You have to turn it on, then unplug it and turn it on again. Every. Single. Time. That’s ridiculous to me - they need to fix that.
They have a free hot breakfast daily but unfortunately it was absolutely awful. The eggs are those nasty liquidy eggs that seem fake (yuck!) and their bacon and potatoes were totally raw - didn’t even look cooked. Luckily their oatmeal bar had lots of topping variety and the oatmeal was adequate. They also had a waffle station, fresh whole fruits, yogurt and cereal to choose from.
Staff were all very friendly and super helpful - even at 2am. The room next to me decided to start singing karaoke very loudly at 2am and the staff handled it immediately. They have an on site market with self checkout. Parking is ample and is $10 a day which I thought was a bit surprising.
All in all I had a decent stay and would consider staying again next time I’m exploring Joshua Tree.

Published Date: Oct, 30, 2024 Travel Date: Oct, 1, 2024 Rating: 2 Basically there's no internet connection in room (Marriot wi-fi very feeble, not usable, and cell phone service absent). Somewhat better in the lobby (albeit below average).
So keep in mind.
That's pretty unusual nowadays, feels like the noughties
Wheelchair-accessible room with bathtub and two queen beds was pretty good

The bathroom had plenty of space to maneuver in a wheelchair. The beds were comfortable. It was relatively quiet after the pool closed. I liked that we could stream Netflix on the TV and that there was a loveseat. Front desk staff were kind and helpful. The location is great in terms of proximity to Joshua Tree National Park and local restaurants, shops, etc.
The room wasn't as clean as it could be (e.g. stain on the comforter, hair and stains on the bathroom walls). The bathroom door wasn't aligned correctly and would not close.
We didn't get breakfast at the hotel, so I can't comment on it. Parking was $10. There's a small pool.
Overall, this hotel isn't anything fancy, but I would stay here again if going to Joshua Tree National Park.

Upon checking out I was charged a parking fee of $10 per night ($20) even though not informed at reservation or check in. Was informed by desk personnel that this is standard for Fairfield.
