Field Station Joshua Tree

I loved staying here! For the price I was not expecting such an amazing place. It was so clean and all the staff were so nice. The room was huge. I was not expecting it to be that big. We could spread out and have our own space. I loved the provided extra folding chair and extra table. We play a lot of board games on vacation and it’s always a struggle in hotels to find space to do this. The bathroom was on the small side but it wasn’t anything to complain about because it was so nice, clean, and updated. The office had a lounge area where you could eat your meals/snacks or just relax and play games/read magazines so we didn’t even have to bring our own games! I also noticed they had coloring pages and color pencils. They had tons of books about the area as well as books on national parks. It’s a great space to hangout in if you want to leave your room but not be out in the heat. We got breakfast and coffee there one morning, by no means is it anything special, but it was fresh, quick, delicious, and just want we needed to start the day. The pool was CLEAN. I am normally very picky about hotel pools and this was probably the cleanest pool I’d ever seen. And this is even after tons of kids had spent the morning in it. There weren’t any towels left when we got there but we had our own so it wasn’t a big deal. I didn’t get a chance to check out the hot tub but everyone around us seemed to enjoy it. The pool is open late. There were so many outside spaces to hangout. We left the hotel room at one point in the middle of the night to go to the main office to fill our water bottles up and we stumbled upon the fire pit. We decided to just sit there for a minute and it was so nice and relaxing. If we ever come back this way for a getaway again I’d 100% come back! It’s so close to so many attractions and it’s an amazing value. It felt super safe. The hotel was very walkable compared to other hotel layouts I looked at.

An absolute gem. Clean and comfortable rooms. A very nice pool and hot tub. Spacious outside areas with games, fire pit, and plenty of comfy seats. Location is close to Joshua Tree Park entrance. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They truly make this place ‘home away from home’. Whenever in the area I would definitely return here.

We came here about a year ago and our kids begged to come back again they loved the hotel so much! The bunk beds are a huge hit with them! We had such a great experience here and are excited to stay here again and enjoy all the things they offer! Family friendly spot with friendly staff and super clean rooms! The decor throughout the hotel and store is great! I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling through this area!

Passed through on our honeymoon. The Field Station was everything we had hoped for and then some. The rooms are great, the pool was awesome, and being 20 minutes from Joshua Tree was incredible. The coffee shop in the lobby was super handy when getting an early start to beat the heat, and the staff was phenomenal. I ended up forgetting some gear in our room and Michele went above and beyond to make sure it was shipped to our home ASAP. 10/10. We will be back.

Stayed here on a whim for a night in May and I'm so glad I discovered this gem! I've been coming to the high desert for yrs but this was my first time at this motel and to say that I was impressed was an understatement. Loved the location, and the charm of the motel. The rooms were spotless and the minimal aesthetic was chef's kiss! The staff were friendly and accommodating and knowledgeable. Shout out to Paula and Justin for being amazing! The beer was divine! My only regret was that I couldn't stay longer. Looks like I have a new place to crash when I'm in town. See you guys in the Fall!

Had a wonderful time at Field Station. We got in pretty late at night (around 12:30am) and were greeted at the door by Michael, who was super kind and welcoming. The rooms were super clean and we had some nice desert sleep. They let us have a late checkout for free, and we hung out at the cafe for a few hours after. Amber made the best sandwiches (pesto turkey was amazing!) and was an absolutely gem. Will definitely be coming back and I recommend Field Station to anyone looking for a nice hotel to stay at in Joshua Tree!

Really enjoyed our 2 night stay with our family of 5. Room was clean, spacious, and had more than enough space for our kiddos in the deluxe double with bunk beds. Plenty of table space and small fridge to store our snacks and food that we brought along with us for our day trips into Joshua Tree park. Just wish there was a microwave, even in the lounge at least, to be able to heat up any left overs. ||Location was great, only 20min drive to the park entrance. We were able to spend mornings in the park and come back to the room after lunch. Kids were able to enjoy the pool and a game of checkers in the lounge during the afternoon before going back to the park for sunset and stargazing.

Overall I would stay here again. I have never stayed in a hotel quite like this. I like the modern, clean, and simple feel. There were a couple things I didn’t like - with carpets the any noise in the room at night felt amplified, and the “black out shade” did not block out the outdoor patio light at night in our room because the top was missing I think. Rooms could use a *confortable* small sofa or chairs - there was a 90° bench and a small folding chair. Also, why not have free drip coffee? But overall this place was very nice and the family liked it too. Rooms are very spacious. Nice lounge / common area also.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We arrived at Field Station Joshua Tree at 1 PM, excited to start our trip -- instead, we've spent hours sitting in the lobby with no room, no updates, and no idea when (or if) we'll actually check in. It's now two hours past the official check-in time, and the staff couldn't be less helpful. No manager on site, no communication, no accountability. Just a lot of blank stares and excuses. The staff is disorganized, and completely unprofessional. Field Station looks good online, but don't be fooled -- this place is a complete operational mess. Spend your money elsewhere.

My stay was almost great - clean, well appointed, attractive and modern rooms. Nice concept. Unfortunately, after checking out a mysterious charge appeared on my card. I called that same day for an explanation, got the runaround and was told to call back the next day when a supervisor would be on duty. I did, was told again that the charge was indeed suspicious, and that supervisors (Luke or David) would call me back. Of course they did not. So once again I called them, 2 days later. Neither deigned to take my call and instead sent a message thru the front desk clerk that these charges take at least 5 business days to fall off. Still no explanation for why someone tried to take an extra $84 off of me. This is shady and inferior hosp management and I won't be returning or recommending this establishment.

YELP SHORT ANSWER: As a sister business to AutoCamp, this is a different experience but very nicely done. LOCATION: This is a destination location near entry to Joshua Tree National Park, you need a reason to come here. Our stay was for a concert nearby. FACILITY: an highly update hotel, nice layout with pool and a lot of outdoor spaces. Very quiet. MENU: As a hotel, you'd be surprised what food they do offer in the lobby mixed use area... it's great.: STAFF: from check in to check out everyone was exceptional. OVERALL VALUE: I am sure you can find cheaper in this area but none nicer or a better value. We have stayed at AutoCamp which is amazing but double Field Station pricing and you need to stay two nights I believe. TIP: ask for a quiet room at booking time, this is a large hotel with some rooms getting highway noise.

Stayed here so my friend and I could go to the Integrathron. The place was cool, nice lobby, with little things you could by. Snack food to eat and coffee, I believe. We did not partake. The room was very nice, very clean. Beds were comfortable and a/c kept the room cool. It is very minimal. I would have liked some kind of drink ware in the room, but aside from that, I would recommend this place.

This is a real gem especially for an area that isn't super built up and otherwise does not have a ton of hotel options. The rooms are modern, minimalist, but have all the essentials you might need. I really appreciated how much utility was integrated into the space (e.g., loops on towels so you could dry multiple on a single hook). The price was extremely reasonable and the amenities were great. We really enjoyed the fire pit for the cold nights. The only issue was that the ceilings/floors between the first and second floors are a bit thin. I would recommend requesting a second floor room if it is available (though I believe they are only accessible by stair so keep that in mind).

Cool and hip but I bet it will show it's age quickly. Service was quick and efficient at check in. Rooms are spartan with concrete floors and funky wall pegs instead of closet. Cute outdoorsy theme of the tp hanger (nylon climbing style rope) and sleeping-bag-esque blanket. Bed is super hard which I like but others may not. Base of bathroom door was already peeling paint/laminate. Faucet in bath sink was poorly installed and tilted strangely. All this is tolerable but the air heating/cooling system was miserably loud. Kept me and friend awake all night. Mini fridge but no coffee/tea setup. Jacuzzi nice and hot but had foam in it (ick!). Pool was icy cold unheated. We spent about $185 for a queen double for one night w tax so that was fine. TL/dr: pretty decent for a quick JT stay

We were visiting Joshua Tree for the weekend to stargaze and see the milky way. Decided to stay here for the night. Great spot. Well kept outside and in. Room was clean and spacious. Beds were comfy. Air blew ice cold. My kids loved the pool it was perfect for the summer heat.

Place was great! We were in town for a wedding and stayed here. Don't let the exterior fool you; the lobby looks like the inside of an REI with really cool merch for sale. The room itself was modern, spacious and comfortable. 10/10 would stay again!

Fantastic affordable motel. They have found a niche catering to the outdoorsy folk with a small gear shop (super small at this point) as they've only been open a few weeks now. I'm pretty sure this place used to be a worn down Travel Lodge. Everything has been remodeled and much attention has been given to the details. I review a lot of hotel bathrooms, and this one is excellent. It's not a 5-star hotel, but it's definitely a 5-star stay. Comfy beds. I slept like a baby. Thank you FieldStation!

My family of 5 stayed for 2 nights. The room was spacious and clean. The queen bunk beds were sturdy and comfortable. The bottom bunk was a perfect place for my 2 year old son to sleep. We will definitely be back.

My partner and I stayed for a night, on a Monday. We were visiting Joshua Tree NP. The room was both clean and spacious, providing a comfortable environment for my stay. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful, making sure all my needs were met with a smile. One of the standout features of this hotel was the overall quietness of the space, but I did stay on a Monday - which made for a very restful stay. Additionally, there were plenty of places for lounging (indoor/outdoor) allowing me to relax and unwind in various cozy spots around the hotel. I also had the breakfast and coffee, it was all very good and prices were comparable to other places nearby. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant stay when visiting Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley.

I LOVED my stay at Field Station. The lobby, store, and lounging area were perfectly themed. My room was spacious and very clean. The bed was comfortable, and it was extremely quiet. I'm not usually a minimalist, however the vibe of the rooms works perfectly with Joshua Tree and as a national park lodging option. We were very satisfied with the food and drinks we ordered from their little cafe'. There is a fire pit, bocce ball court, pool, spa, and lots of games and books in their lounge area off the lobby. The staff was kind, helpful, and attentive. I highly recommend this place.

Clean hotel, nice pool, great location. But the best part was the staff, especially Sasha who checked us in. She was super nice and gave us great restaurant and bar recommendations! We'd stay there again.

Clean, simple rooms with big fun factor. Staff are attentive, informed and friendly. Great place to stay. Don't be fooled by the bland exterior. Great relaxing lobby and courtyards. Thanks

Went to check in at 5:30 Pm Was told my room wasn't ready due to house keeping being backed log . The front desk person told me there was no extra charge for checking late .. ( never heard there was a charge for late check In my life) I've heard of charging for late check out . Made us sit in the pool and wait , which made up late for show in pioneer town . Totally unexplainable at all. This place is mismanaged for the prices they're charging people period ! Do not recommend this place at all until their get their act together and maybe hire more house keepers for the weekend when they're busy . They should not book people if they can't get them into a room an hour and half after check in time especially if people have scheduled plans in the evening.

I was really impressed with this location. Everything was clean and updated. The pool was clean and kids had a great time! I would definitely stay here again!!

The rooms are clean, no wall to wall carpet and great common areas. The location is a good location to local businesses (restaurants, stores, gas, etc.) and Joshua Tree National Park. Check in is 4 PM and 10 AM is check out. They have a coffee bar with food options for the mornings.

If you make a reservation at this establishment, be very careful before you decide to pay in advance. If you have an emergency come up, where you may have to cancel, they give you no option for this. They take your money with no remorse. Unfortunately, this is what happened to us and we will never recommend nor be making arrangements here again.
