This Fairfield Inn is not up to Marriott standards. The room was showing age with worn furniture and a soft mattress. There are very few power outlets (no USB slots) and none accessible near the bed. It is ridiculous there is a $10 daily parking charge when this hotel (and town) is close to the middle of nowhere. My weekend rate was over $200 and to add on a parking charge is an insult. If visiting Joshua Tree NP may be better just to stay in Palm Springs.

Overall, it’s a bit old school Fairfield but does the basics right. Clean and safe location with nice spread for breakfast. The pool and facility overall is a little underwhelming and dated. There are some funny smells in the room. Given that there are not many options in town, I would come back but didn’t give me any warm and fuzzy feelings either. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent value! Nice clean room and spacious. We were pleasantly surprised. Gabriel at the front desk was friendly and helpful. Requested more foam pillows and they were delivered promptly. Free breakfast was very good. Exceeded expectations!

Furnishings are a little beat up, tv channel selection is very poor. Bedding is average at best. Staff so so. Refrigerator very noisy. All fallowing text is just filler to meet stupid 200 character minimum……………………………………………………………………..!

Easy access standing alone except for a handy supermarket right in front you can easily walk to. A couple of miles from downtown area with parking ($10 per night). Handy fridge in room for storing any drinks etc. Location is a few minutes drive from the North Entrance to Joshua Tree Park which is apparently a much quieter route than the West Entrance so very accessible. Pleasant welcome on arrival otherwise no other interaction with staff apart from dropping key in when leaving. Most of the time we were passing the reception desk it was unmanned and possibly a security issue. One morning when getting coffee from the breakfast room a homeless man ran in , filled a bowl with porridge and his pockets with other muffins etc then ran out again unchallenged which is a concern and not great if you intend to have the free breakfast which we didn't. There were 4 of us in two rooms on the upper floor which were quiet during our stay and if you are a family our rooms were easily large enough for 4 with 2 queen beds and a sitting area with what appeared to be a sofa bed. Room furnishings a little dated but adequate for what we needed. If you wanted room service this had to be requested, we didn't bother for the 2 nights we were there. Shower in bath which is not a favourite of ours. Vending machines in reception area for soft drinks and snacks and free tea / coffee continually available from flasks. In summary we felt this hotel met our needs for this trip and we wouldn't be put off staying again if visiting Joshua Tree Park now we know what to expect.
