Ramsey 29 Boutique Motel | Joshua Tree

I had a fantastic stay at Ramsey29 in Twentynine Palms. The location was perfect for visiting Joshua Tree, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained — exactly what I needed after a long day of exploring. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the owner Ashton. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. Communication was fast and easy, and any questions I had were answered promptly. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests and take pride in providing great service. He had so many recommendations on places to go and things to see. If you’re looking for a welcoming and reliable place to stay in the area, I highly recommend Ramsey29. I wouldn’t hesitate to book here again! An added bonus is Kitchen in the Desert being located right behind the motel. I have to eat there every-time I visit Twentynine Palms. It is one of the best restaurant I have ever been to. Everything tastes so fresh and it has the perfect ambiance. It feels like you’re in Tulum.

This motel is a true gem. Comfortable and clean rooms, great design, awesome location. We loved our dinner at Kitchen in the Desert as well. Will definitely be back!

We loved our stay in Room 7 at Ramsey29—a petite space with a big personality. Every corner is dressed in style, from the vintage fixtures to the thoughtful branded touches, and the bed was as comfy as it was inviting. The AC kept us cool after dips in the perfectly imperfect shabby-chic pool, framed by gorgeous landscaping and an effortlessly cool vibe. Bonus: dining next door at Kitchen in the Desert made the whole experience feel like we’d stumbled into our own little desert retreat. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Easily the best stay of our trip--very cozy. My family stayed in Suite 1. Perfectly located for an early morning trip into Joshua Tree National Park to catch the sunrise.

Pictures exactly as described. Soft bed and good shower pressure. Great and easy stay!

Check in was quick and easy. The room was a tiny bit small but for a short stay it was perfect. Loved all of the quirky details. The bed frame was a little squeaky but the bed itself was the most comfortable we had on our entire roadtrip. There was some street noise which died down in time for bed. A cozy little spot with great food and Joshua Tree Visitors Center right across the street. Definitely will be back!

Another shocking place having grown up in 29 and seeing the changes . Booked 2 nights . It's near 4 corners downtown by the old Andreas restaurant. If you like hanging out, it's directly across from "The Out There Bar". Also walking distance to Kitchen In the Desert. You check in via airbnb app and given a code to access room. Rooms were clean , cozy, and nicely setup. Loved the shower! There is also a pool available. Someone asked if we needed our room cleaned, and we declined. Would book Here again.

Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover – This Place is a Hidden Gem! Calling this place a gem would be an understatement—it’s a diamond mine! From the moment I made a late reservation around 10 PM, one of the owners made the process seamless. When I asked, “Where’s the music coming from?” he warmly invited me to their onsite eatery, “Kitchen Desert.” Open until 11 PM on a weekday, the team there was crafting cocktails I’d expect to find in a trendy downtown LA bar. I went back for breakfast the next morning and… WOW! ABSOLUTELY THE BEST ESPRESSO IVE EVER HAD- I have decades of experience in the coffee bizz and a black coffee drinker and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The property boasts modern, updated rooms and an inviting onsite eatery. The attention to detail is impressive—handmade soaps in the bathrooms, espresso martinis on the menu, and a focus on thoughtful hospitality that exceeded every expectation. The room it self quaint, safe, modern, some rooms are double the size of the others… The bed was incredibly cozy, outfitted with well-known brands. I laid down and immediately fell asleep like a baby. And let me tell you about the morning shower experience! Room 8 offers not only a generous shower head but also a breathtaking sunrise view right from the shower window—a moment I’ll never forget. The pool was clean and used as refreshing cold plunge. Balina, the housekeeper, was so friendly and accommodating, even allowing us a late checkout without hesitation. One of the owners also shared exciting plans for the property’s future, and I’m genuinely eager to see this transformation unfold. This isn’t just a motel—it’s becoming a beacon of hospitality in the high desert, and I can’t wait to return. Cheers and thank you for an unforgettable stay!

This is an Airbnb motel that obviously has a history operating under other names. I walked around and found the old signs and there is old furniture and fixtures that were upcycled or repurposed, which is commendable. This isn't a bad place to sleep when visiting Joshua Tree, because it's a good value for the price. I would definitely recommend it if you have your dog with you. Just keep in mind that it's not as upscale as the pictures make it seem.

We recently decided, last minute, to attend a friend's Halloween party in 29 Palms. Being a designer, I suggested my friend and I stay at the lovely Ramsey 29, appreciating the renovation. Room number 9 suited us perfectly and we LOVED our time there. Beautiful property with thoughtful touches and great interior design. Host was superb and sweet. Love KID and look forward to staying there again!

Typically I would never stay in a motel, but let me tell you, I would personally stay at Ramsey 29 again and again. Location was great to really anywhere; park entrance, proximity to JT, restaurants and shops. While I did not use any of the outdoor facilities (pool, corn hole or fire pit) my room was great. Great water temp and pressure, spotless room, incredible linens, comfortable mattress (I suffer with chronic back pain) and great overall use of space with lots of attention to detail. And parking was included in the nightly rate. I booked through Airbnb.

This hotel is so cute and affordable! All the places I've stayed when visiting Joshua Tree were either really cheap and dumpy or nice but super expensive. This place is a great price and so spacious, clean and super close to Joshua Tree National Park. I highly recommend this adorable boutique motel.

Great, clean rooms. Great location. Near bars and food and the park entrance. FYI some rooms don't have a coffee maker and there is no coffee available in the lobby. There is a Starbucks close by.

Wow this place is magical! Such a beautiful and incredibly creative layout - you can tell so much thought has gone into each detail - down to the soap! So clean, super comfy beds, The restaurant Kitchen in the Desert was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to come back for longer.

This is the cutest place ever. not only priced WELL the softest sheets, attention to detail on design. I love it! the hangers have cute messages I swear this will be my spot every time we come. Great location for Joshua Tree goers....

Amazing hotel and restaurant just steps from the National Park. Great owner and chef. A must if you are visiting Joshua Tree.

Stayed here a couple months ago for a last minute trip. I liked the restaurant, but the hotel itself is a little sketchy. The room felt uncomfortable and bare. Not great for a long time stay. I did think it was weird when you turn on the light in the bathroom, there's a red light that comes on in the air vent of the ceiling. Hope that wasn't a camera but this didn't sit well with me. Also it looks like this place deleted their old Yelp and created a new one because I remember seeing more reviews plus some bad ones when I stayed here a a couple months ago. I probably won't be staying here again. Also because Armie Hammer helped out with this place...yuck

Cute, trendy room off of the highway. If you're looking for a clean place to rest your head this is perfect. The linens and bathroom were clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The tv mount was VERY loose and the luggage rack was in pieces. There is a fire pit as well as Cornhole. Unfortunately, I planned to stay here because of the amenities that were boasted. The Kitchen of the Desert isn't onsite like described. Although it is a VERY short walk I was under the impression it was part of the motel, based on their AirBnB listing. It being over 110 degrees, is a reason I booked a place with a pool. The photos of the pool on their page are faaaaar from what the pool actually is. The pool was full of debris and bugs, which I skimmed out myself. But I just couldn't get over the amount of algae. Hopefully they find a pool service soon so people can actually enjoy the pool this summer.

Wow! I'm so glad I found this place after my Airbnb fell through! It's entirely true to its description in that it's a "boutique motel." The owner has curated a simple, creative, and memorable experience through each small touch of design and vintage decor! I appreciated the simplicity and high quality- prefect for how I travel and what I needed this trip for my desert adventure. It's extremely close to Joshua Tree National Park's North entrance and close proximity to other gems I found for eating and drink. Particularly close is their "Kitchen in the Desert," and 2 min down the road is "Mara," which I also enjoyed! A must-stay boutique Inn that's comfortable, clean, and memorable!

It's a great, clean, and trendy place to spend a night or two! Walk to things nearby is a bonus (Starbucks, tacos, bar, or KitchenintheDesert!)
