This is the BEST place to stay in Joshua Tree!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/26/09
I visit the Joshua Tree National Park to hike about four times a year and have enjoyed staying in the Safari Motor Inn. The amenities, service, and kindness of the owners make it an enjoyable experience. It's the closest motel to the park entrance and it is the best dollar value in Joshua Tree or Yucca Valley. I also recommend the Indian restaurant just a few blocks away (in a strip mall that says "Pizza" in big letters and "Indian Food" in small letters). Ravi at the Safari Inn provides discount coupons for the restaurant. I have stayed in five different motels near the park -- since finding the Safari, I stay nowhere else!
