What a secret gem this place is. We spent our time at the West End cottage which was the perfect size for our family of 5. There was a fully stocked kitchen (pans/cutlery/cups/bowls/coffeemaker/and coffee provided) and refrigerator which was super convenient. Bonus “secret entrance” to the Creative Art center next door.You can’t beat the free continental breakfast with freshly made muffins and bread, fresh yogurt and house made granola, and oatmeal. The restaurant food was great for both lunch and dinner and had a good variety. Fried hearts of palm proved to be a tasty appetizer and the butternut squash shrimp pasta was delicious.The grounds of the Inn are beautiful and kept our 3 toddler’s very entertained. The oasis of Mara has a turtle family that would often swim right up to the edge in front of us. There was a family of quail we observed in the brush across from our cottage which the kids loved to spy on. The Inn’s close proximity to the Joshua Tree west entrance is the cherry on top. Oh, and did I mention the heated swimming pool? The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to come back and explore some more.
This place holds a special spot in my heart. The ambiance, the food, the amazing service. Ericka is the best!!
In love with this place from the first time we ate there. We spent a day relaxing by the dreamy pool. Our cabin was next to the oasis which is so lush and lovely and amazing. Loved walking the grounds, strolling through the Faultline Farm. Atmosphere is super chill and staff is friendly and authentic. Ate a fantastic meal, great wine. Would love some variety in the poolside music but otherwise perfection. Location is close to the park, and close to the highway and town without feeling in the middle of town. Hope we get to go back.
We hade a great time ! Our kids loved the turtles and the restaurant was fantastic. We stayed 3 nights and it was amazing!
This is a review for the restaurant. My family and I came here based on a recommendation from a local couple. The food was great and the ambiance was fun. We ended up coming back the next night for dinner again and the food was even better! Highly recommend for a nice dinner
We just went there for the restaurant. We came early and walked around the farm because we’re Permaculture students. it was also my birthday and I don’t like the desert very much. The Faultline oasis that the restaurant and inn Are built next to were the thing I needed we sat for an hour or so between the water of the Faultline oasis and the huge fantastic California palms. be careful of the Mojito. I am a teetotaler and I thought well I’ll get a Mojito and dilute it with a glass of sparkling water. Well I was still flying. We had fun
Came here for dinner. A really intimate space, and the live music was lovely. Cocktails were on point, and the Portobello Wellington was exceptional. Also, I really loved that the veggie sides were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. So often sides are forgotten.
Such a beautiful piece of the earth, great restaurant and organic garden, and so close to the park main entrance.
Delicious food and gracious service, would definitely come back if in the area
I finally went and enjoyed a meal here. Boy, what a pleasant surprise I had the chicken marsala...omg..it was wonderful. My guy has the flat iron steak, he was impressed as well But the drink was perfect, atmosphere was chill, staff was the real kind of friendly... not preprogrammed fake smiles...but genuinely nice. Five stars!
This place is super cool. Individual cottages and a small patio to watch the dark night sky. Pool was so refreshing after a day of playing in the sand. Recommend it and will go again.
Amazing Oasis in the desert, great restaurant, fabulous Bar server Selina was wonderful...love the Mezcal
Awesome 9,000 year old oasis surrounded by palm trees and quaint bungalows. Friendly staff. Nice pool area. Full bar. They grow their own food at their local farm (on location). Located at the eastern entrance to Joshua Tree National Park its perfect for a quiet weekend getaway.
Great ambience. Beautiful space. Expensive style. $25 an entree.Too many mushrooms for us.
Excellent atmosphere and vibe. Food was great, live music 🤩
We stayed in the Tidy Tips adobe. What a neat experience! We enjoyed the small, private courtyard for drinks and star-gazing. The kids loved the bunk bed! Staff was very friendly and helpful! Breakfast was healthy!!! oatmeal, yogurt, granola, pumpkin bread!!!
Stayed here for two nights during a road trip along the east coast. Glad we did - it was super comfortable and loved our time here. We had the Encelia Adobe and it was nice and cool inside compared to the heat outside. Perfect place to stay if you want to explore Joshua Tree National Park and surrounding area. Unfortunately the only photo I have is as we were packing up to leave. I would happily stay here again one day!
Been there 3 times. Twice food was good. Service not so good, if you get the waitress with the mask. The tall blonde fellow with glasses, I forget his name is excellent. The lady with mask is quick and frankly needs to retire. Or perhaps just take reservation. Went last Saturday in Aug. Steak was tough and potatoes cold. She seldom comes around. So, we were quiet which was a mistake and left . We vowed not to go back. But, when I found out they charged my card twice and they didn’t catch it. That’s for certain I won’t be back. I called on Monday and they couldn’t help til Tuesday. The charge was over 100 bucks charged twice includi ng a second tip for the waitress. Which they charge the tip, on your bill automatically. The other nice thing you can sit outside and dine and watch people enjoying the pool while being cooled down by the pool water splash. This place is a nostalgic and all, but come on. Food you can send back but poor service you can’t.
Ive been visiting the restaurant here for 15 years. Always a solid and pleasant experience with good food at reasonable prices. The setting of the hotel is a historic Oasis - the native palms are wonderful. For Christmas we booked a cabin for three nights to be close to Joshua Tree National Park. Our room was private, very quiet, and cozy. Very romantic and not to be forgotten. My only complaint is that the price is out of reach for the average person.
This review is for the Restaurant - The property is very nice, but I dont recommend the restaurant. Upon preparing to order, we were told they automatically now add a 20% tip for all orders so that the staff earns a decent wage. What this means is that the owner is paying his/her staff poorly. They seem to have different menus with different prices. We were presented certain menus when deciding whether to eat there or not which one wait staff person also verbally relayed. The prices on that menu and the prices on the menu we were presented with to order from were different. Food is good, but portions are very small. When you have to order dessert cecause your so hungry post a pricey meal, that speaks poorly of the restaurant. Also, we had to track down the wait staff to order dessert and then procure the bill despite the automatic 20% tip they ent
This is a wonderful small place to eat at they have a good food selection and GREAT customer service. They also have a pool and a great drinks. I definitely enjoyed myself it is one of the nicer restaurants and hotels in the high desert.Serving Wednesday through Sunday 3pm-8pm
Rustic, natural, and relaxing. The restaurant is one of the best in town. The rooms are all unique, and reflect old-time living in the desert. Ive been coming to the Inn for 23 years, and never get tired of it! Get lost in the dez! 😃🏜🦎🌴🌌
Kids loved the turtles in the pond. Guests are invited to walk through the garden and eat the grapes from the vine. Fun veggies were growing too - like dinosaur kale, Bulls blood beets and chocolate mint.Plus, some were included in the restaurants meals.Staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean, including pool area and rooms, beds, etc...Well come again and bring more friends and family.Breakfast...so cute! Eggs from the chickens on-site, fresh baked breads, fruit from garden, and each cabin had a vintage-style thermos full of coffee (or water for tea). I think it was home-made granola they packed in individual servings there, too.Peaceful. Gorgeous sunset. Dont come, because we want it to stay a hidden secret gem!
Lovely place to stay on oasis outside of Joshua Tree National Park. Stayed in a comfortable but not fancy cabin with private patio. Restaurant features produce grown onsite in organic farm plus bread and muffins baked on location. Wonderful location for bird enthusiasts as grounds and trees are full of quails, doves, wrens, etc.
Fast and friendly service. Wonderful food.
A group of 10 of us arrived having booked well in advance. The bar closed at 7 pm and no food available. We ordered take away pizza and had to eat it outside in the cold because the bar area was being locked up. Heaters were available, but had no fuel. Overall, a very poor experience considering that they knew well in advance we were arriving. I cannot recommend and I will not be returning.
Stayed the night in a charming adobe with a fireplace. Very pet friendly! Very artsy in a rustic unique setting. Lots of stars overhead at night..beautiful little oasis! The perfect place to explore, relax by the pool and catch a meteor shower! Loved the vibe.
Stopped in for lunch, and it was terrific. We greatly enjoyed their mushroom appetizer, tacos, and cheese & pepper sandwich. But, their soups were absolutely amazing. The southwest garbanzo bean soup was incredibly flavorful; just off the charts good. Service was friendly and welcoming, and cozy setting was perfect.
Super quirky and fun place. The property was gorgeous. Loved the pre-made picnic lunch options to pick up before heading to Joshua Tree. The park entrance was really close.
We stayed there last night. This place is so cute! All the cabins are unique, we stayed in Cabin X. The cabin was cozy and the bed was comfy. We had room for a pack n play for our son. Breakfast was included which was delicious homemade granola, muffins, yogurt, and a thermos of coffee! The grounds are awesome, they have a farm and an oasis. Definitely want to come back and stay longer!
My son and I spent a full month traveling around the country visiting national parks, and we stayed in a variety of cool hotels, many fancier than this inn. But when I think back on my favorite stays of the trip, nothing tops this one. Theres just something so special about it, and it spoke to me in a way most of the other places didnt. Its just so wonderfully authentic, with the most lovely artsy, free-spirited desert vibes. Food and drink was wonderful- refreshing cucumber/mint water awaited us when we checked in, and I had wonderful mojitos and a flatbread pizza with vegetables from the garden. Breakfast was laid out adorably with our own thermos of coffee, muffins, grapes from the garden, and other delights. We stayed in the charming Old Frame 1 & 2, and some day I want to go back and just stay a week there. It was charming inside and we each had our own room, which was fabulous, but the deck was the best part. Its a lovely place to sit with the HUGE palms and pretty pond, but the wildlife watching made it truly magical. At dusk I saw two owls (one landed right on the deck 10 feet from my chair), bats, and all kinds of birds. In the morning we saw a pair of coyotes as well. I would have loved to stay longer--its truly an oasis in the desert.
29 Palms Inn is a gem of the desert. I have stayed here many times over the years, as a single person and, later, with my kid. Owner Heidi (and generations of her family before her) is dedicated to this artistic, funky, soulful, peaceful and unique oasis, literal and metaphorical. Each Adobe bungalow is unique, a little rugged, a little (or a lot) retro, carefully curated - the attention to detail is staggering. Fireplaces, red tile floors, beamed ceilings, color (color and more color), murals, art, palm trees galore, one of the all-time great swimming pools, a delicious restaurant offering organic, locally sourced food, much of it from a farm right there on the premises… It is hard to do justice to the magic of this place. The restaurant alone is worth a visit (followed by many repeat visits). “Sister” hotel Campbell House is another historic treasure on equally exciting-yet-serene grounds. I am mixed about writing this review because I want to keep this place the best kept secret in California, but my years of incredible memories compel me to do right by talking about how incredible this place is. Hope this gives a glimpse into it.
As local wedding photographers, we know this place is a true gem. We love eating here as a family poolside, spending the night for a staycation, and it is our favorite wedding venue to work at in the desert. The buildings are colorful and the perfect desert vibe, the whole property is perfect for exploring and for pictures, the staff is incredible, and the food is fab.
My family and I loved our stay at the 29 Palms Inn. Fodor’s had recommended the Inn, and now I can see why. Our cottage, Old Frame 1&2, was a good distance from any other, so we had plenty of privacy and didn’t have to worry about social distancing.The cottage itself was rustic in the charming sense. It was very comfortable. All the furniture and decorations all had a classic look; nothing seemed dated or worn. We had a huge deck with lounge chairs and a table with chairs, which made it very convenient to spend time outside.The restaurant on site has excellent food, including vegan options. We were able to pick up delicious dinner options from the restaurant and walk back to eat on our deck.The Inn has thoughtful touches throughout: we had an igloo cooler in our room, with a note that we could have it filled up with ice in the restaurant; The key chain has a tiny flashlight on it so you can easily find your way back to your cabin in the darkThe location is also great. It’s very close to the Oasis Visitor’s Center for Joshua Tree National park in one direction, and walking distance to parts of the city of 29 Palms in the other direction.I definitely recommend the 29 Palms Inn, and hope to be able to stay there again soon.
Love this place! A little on the expensive side, but the food is entirely worth it. Something a little different every night, and all of it fantastic. My favorite was the pork chops, but I never had anything bad in the multiple times I had dinner here. The kitsch and history are also great. Some creative cocktails would compliment the creative food, but they can still make all the basic drinks.
This place is so special. We’ve taken old friends here, and met new ones by the pool. Food is delicious, rooms are comfortable, atmosphere, pool and and service is always top notch, plus they are super dog friendly. Can’t wait to come back :)
Place is great, exactly the movie-like place you’d expect in the middle of the desert. The young men working at the restaurant were fantastic. The only downside was one of the ladies working there, she was very inflexible, rude and grumpy.
Such a beautiful peaceful place, we had the best time and loved our room! Bar staff was particularly friendly, thank you for all of the teas :)
The best food we had during our trip to California. You must eat here. Great staff friendly and hospitable. Food was literally from the garden to your plate. Yes a garden in the desert.
I wanted to get a way but have a safe trip so the 29 Palms Inn was the perfect spot. My friend and I booked separate rooms since we dont live together - we stayed in Dandelion and Encelia adobes. The buildings are quaint but clean and well maintained. Each had a private patio and the bedroom had a fireplace. It is a pet friendly property and we each had a dog with us.Check in was contactless - in fact we barely saw anyone during our stay at all. Breakfast was a grab and go option - a thermos with coffee for each adobe or cabin, and offered hard boiled eggs, yogurt, house made granola, muffins, sourdough and what looked like carrot or zucchini bread to bag up and take back to your room.Its a five minute car ride to the Oasis of Mara, a 1/2 mile paved trail that you can take the dogs on. Another 5 minutes to the entry of Joshua Tree National Park.We did not eat at the restaurant because we didnt want to plan what we were doing and the meal had to be ordered ahead of time. But we would hope to eat there next time.We were perfectly happy to sit out on the patio and have some wine as we watched the stars come out. The property itself is lovely, with a pond and a farm. Right at the edge of Joshua Tree National Park, the backside of the Inn looks out at the desert. There were tons of birds around, including a covey of quail. We did see coyotes very close by one night, but had been forewarned to keep watch on our pets due to the wildlife.If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay, I highly recommend this place.
Great dining experience. Having been a waitress back in my working/college days and well trained at providing great customer service I take notice of eating establishments to do the same. It was a very busy night at the 29 Palms Inn and we were a table of ten (all wanting separate checks). That alone takes a lot of time for the waitress to handle amongst their other duties. But our waitress Julie handle it all with poise. Our table was well taken care of and never in need of anything longer than necessary. All the other staff on the floor helped one another too as they were all hustling and bustling. And if not, there was one standing close by looking over the dining area to be sure patrons were not needing attention from the staff. Oh yeah, and the food was marvelous. The appetizers and food came out nice and hot and without error. The little side salad was perfect. And that sourdough bread!! There was a big selection of adult drinks and wine to order too. All in all you cant go wrong with the 29 Palms Inn.
Very pleasant ambiance. Very peaceful place to spend time visiting. I had a wonderful birthday dinner out. The staff were very accommodating and the food was excellent.
The shrimp and scallops with pasta and pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon were impeccable. So flavorful and rich! My husband and I enjoyed our meals so much. You must try their blue cheese on their salad. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but the service, cocktails (I mean a tasteless mojito?!?), and price left much to be desired. Small inside dining with outside seating by the pool. Live entertainment, at least on the weekends.
Hidden desert gem of a hideaway! My mom and I visited here Mother’s Day weekend, and we had the most amazing experience. Their restaurant has exceptional food and excellent service. The grounds, including their full, farm to table garden, is unique and well kept. The cottages are quirky and fun, and it’s a treat to be out under the stars in a courtyard little home. We found all the amenities comfortable and deeply enjoyed the coyotes, stars, refreshing pool, and grounds. Stay here!
The most beautiful place to stay. I will definitely return hopefully for a longer stay. Staff is so wonderful and helpful. The food is so amazing so fresh and tasty. It’s how food should taste. The Joshua Tree park is right in the backyard of this beautiful oasis in the desert. We met so many people from all over the world. The very best experience I have ever had at an Inn or hotel. I recommend it 100 percent 💗💗💗
This was a nice local restaurant that had a very chill and relaxed vibe. There were some great live performers and some cool decors. Food was great. We had the pork tenderloin and shrimp & scallop. It is a little pricey but not too much. I would definitely go back.
Great location and friendly staff. Not part of any of the booking sites, but dont let that dissuade you. Older rooms but neat and clean. Only issue is the connections between X, Y, and Z mean you hear your neighbors. Knock n tell em to keep it down! The food at the restaurant is very well prepared and obviously a local go-to. Small, so be prepared for a wait if its during peak times but priced well.
I stayed and ate here. The accommodations were comfortable/clean but basic with units scattered around the property. Continental breakfast was included and the baked goods were nicely done. Ate here for dinner and the food was excellent and the service for our large group was very good.
The food and setting were delightful. My burger was cooked to perfection with wonderfully crisp onion.The service was slightly slower than I would have liked but the waitress was sweet and helpful.Will definitely be going again.
This place was absolutely amazing!!! Great place to finally celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Marcos was amazing. So polite and came back multiple times to make sure everything was okay!!! He was super sweet!! If you go, definitely ask for him to be your server!! 20/10 will go again next time we have the funds!!!
Service was super friendly, courteous, and kind! The seafood stew - aka the catch of the day, was incredibly savory, delicate, and filling - paired with a prickly pear kombucha and tequila drink by the pool, with two sandwiched palm trees in the shape of a heart towering over us, while a half moon shone over the shrimp fra diavolo (shrimp pasta) and his Johnny Walker neat - do I need to say more? Quiet ambiance, very cute decor, and fresh food.Recommend x 29!!!! Hugs, Jess, Ericka, chef, and staff.
Food, service, and atmosphere were all great. The menu is limited, but Im not bothered by that. Id rather have a small list of good options than six pages to pour over. Also, the wine selection consisted of labels we often drink at home, and glasses were very reasonably priced. If you like a unique joint, this place should suit you well.
Restaurant was excellent, farm to table, everything was fresh & tasty. We started with the brie cheese wonderfully melted inside a scrumptious bread top with raspberry jelly....superb!! I had a vegan carrot dish flavored with curry, hubby had chicken Mara which was also amazing!! Highly recommend this restaurant & will be returning soon for more brie 🧀 appetizer.
We dropped in for lunch around 1:20pm. You walk through the gated swimming pool area to get to the restaurant/bar. Small dining area, maybe 15 tables, but spacious and about half full on a Thursday. Individually prepared items menu with vegan options. I had the trout with a side order of mushrooms. Soup was excellent. Its a relaxing kind of quiet place. There are also casita rentals at this Oasis. We dont get our here much, but will try to return to this place.
A “one-star hotel”??? C’mon. The 29 Palms Inn is a great little place. It has a wonderful restaurant (the mushroom appetizer is worth the trip from wherever all by itself). There’s a very cool swimming pool right in front of the restaurant, and the rooms are clean, unique and have plenty of charm and character. I love the adobe rooms with their private courtyards… I don’t know how “stars” are given in this page, but this is a great place.
Great quality food. Beware of massive portions! Its a farm to table concept. You can visit their garden right behind the restaurant that they source their veggies, fruit, and herbs from. Super flavorful and you can taste the sunshine in them! You might want to consider sharing a main if youre tempted by starters and / or desserts as the portions are absolutely massive and come with a side of soup or salad. Very friendly and prompt service as well.
The nicest place in 29 Palms to dine. Small place with a bar, casual attire with pieces of local art on display. Definitely desert, this Sunday busy place offers smaller portions at a justifiable price. The food is fresh and delicious. Grass fed steak, spinach & feta salad is yum! Try something odd! Love this place
We grabbed lunch here one day and it was DELICIOUS! I still daydream about the butternut squash hummus appetizer they have. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich was also very good. Very clean restaurant and friendly wait staff. Overall just a great experience.
Restaurant: 5 stars for beautiful property - 1 star for the bad attitude on the hostess for st paddy’s day who refused to seat my family with child at either of 2 empty tables. My parents come here all the time but there are better places than dealing with with ego in the desert. We moved on to enjoy the day!
Very cool place. Beautiful surroundings. Great staff. Live music most nights. The only drawback is that there was no fridge in my cabin, and that you could not watch television from bed. You had to sit on an uncomfortable chair, if you wanted to watch telly.
Absolutely lovely! Id have given 5 stars if the rooms had king size beds. Restaurant was delish! Service was excellent!
A wonderful place. We stayed at the Dark Room and friends were at Irene´s adobe, so we could share the fantastic courtyard.Breakfast was also very nice with quality food. As well was dining at the Inn.We will surely come back.
We didnt stay in the hotel, but we had dinner in their restaurant and loved it. The soup was delicious, the meat very tender and the chocolat chip cookie with ice cream was amazing. Live music by the pool and friendly staff. Highly recommended!
First experience: Like being transported in time to a classic Americana Motor Lodge, while still keeping modern amenities like wifi, heat, and a delicious healthy cusine. Restaurant has a full bar. Indoor is for meal dinner service, outdoor heated seating at the covered pool patio for bar/drink service.Location is ideal for a National Park, history exploring, and hiking trip!Cabin X is a quiet and cozy small single room that looks like a 1960s tv show, complete with antique table and tiny wall lamps. Shower only, with dress length tall closet, and portable sink and ice cooler that can be filled by bar staff.Will update after our experience!
I had the pleasure of staying at this amazing oasis for a few days this week!! I highly recommend the Mesquite House cabin, which is a very beautiful and well-appointed 2BR-2BA house that was recently remodeled, with lots of room to entertain inside and out in the enclosed private backyard. Great views of the hills from the backyard, and an easy walk to the restaurant, which serves surprisingly good food and beverages, with a lot of their fresh produce home-grown in their farm adjacent to the oasis. Everyone I encountered were super friendly and service was always great. The restaurant does get really busy! So come early or be prepared for what seems like a short wait (I usually like to dine early). The area is quiet and nicely secluded but very easy access to Joshua Tree National Park, and all the amenities 29 Palms has to offer (numerous restaurants, shops art galleries etc). I wish I stayed longer. I definitely will next time!!
We have had a couple of Sunday Brunches here. We have seldom had to wait for a table. Menu items featured some local fair. Good quality food and friendly wait staff. It is a good ideal to walk the grounds after your meal. Looks like an interesting place to stay.
My wife and I enjoy the restaurant. The service has always been great. Most of the vegies are grown in the garden on the property. Theres often a band playing outside by the pool, an awesome experience. The rooms in the Inn are rustic and unique just like the old Oasis of Mara. If you want a big city experience go to the big city. If you want to enjoy an amazing rustic, eclectic and historic property try 29 Palm Inn. We go back regularly.
Right outside of Joshua Tree National Park. Casino in the area if you are an RV with free parking. Restaurant is very unique with delicious food. I highly recommend a look and see.
My daughter got a hamburger. It was excellent. I got the lunch special double cheeseburger. It was good but not as good of meat as my daughters. I would have ordered a non special hamburger if I know the meat was different. Some items on the menu are great. The secret is knowing what to order.
I highly recommend 29 Palms Inn in Twentynine Palms CA. Very nice and unique room—the Encelia Adobe Bungalow; limited menu in the restaurant but good; nice grounds; all-in-all a good experience. We stayed at Hilton hotels exclusively on this 10-day trip EXCEPT for the one night we stayed at the 29 Palms Inn. A great choice.
Casual, funky dining with great service and outstanding food. Going backwards: best chocolate mousse ever, seabass cooked perfectly with summer squash and yams just right, and a very nice potato soup to start. Live music gently played in background. Just go there. It was packed.
Very eclectic location. (We only had lunch here) The poolside restaurant and bar certainly beat my expectation. The vegetable are direct from their organic garden on premise. Nightly entertainment (poolside). The City Salad was great. Handcraft cocktails too. Black Bean Tostada...very refreshing. Try to grab a table outside...weather permitting.
Fantastic Food.. Great Service. The food was fresh and served without a long wait! And the serving portions where a very good size. We have had dinner there twice and Sunday Brunch. On Brunch they have a menu..I had the trout. It was so good! Served with there fresh homemade muffins! And the bar serves very good Bloody Marys!!
Nice place and great customer service. The location is right in twenty nine palms, so it’s only a minute or two to most of the businesses in the area. Most importantly, the people who run the place were all very helpful!
The quality of food here is well above anything else you can find in 29 Palms. The chefs ensemble of ingredients combined with local ingredients are awesome. Such a gem in the middle of the desert, who thought hospitality could be this good.
Best food in the High Desert. Salmon was outstanding ! Staff was very friendly and attentive. Flew in just to eat here ..Hard to get in but we’ll worth it when you do.
Beautiful desert setting near Joshua Tree National Park. Comfortable rooms. Nice restaurant. My daughter had a lovely wedding here a few years back and they were very helpful in every way.
The room was adorable. Continental breakfast was oatmeal and delicious homemade bread. I highly recommend the sourdough. Pet friendly, my cat also enjoyed the room. Close proximity to Joshua Tree was of course a plus.
Only went to the restaurant for dinner. (April, 2015) Wow. Excellent, fresh food in the middle of ho-hum food land. Every thing from bread to coffee to salad to entree (I got planked halibut, hubby got flat iron steak) to dessert was wonderful!Locals drive in from all over just for the food.Even next to the pool, while kids are jumping in the water, and guests are conversing, you can get the vibe (ambiance) of an upscale hogan, revered by the desert spirituality, admired by hippies of all ages, and draws in anyone with a still soul. You can appreciate the air, the warmth, and any kind of healing or nutrition you are seeking....yet, that feeling isnt contrived or manufactured. Its just happen-so.Just the place to unwind after a hard day of whatever suits your fancy. The food is worth a few dollars more. THAT good.
The restaurant is amazing and the surrounding area is very cool. They have a garden and a pond and lots of tall and old palms. Really cool place. We never rented a room as we live locally but nice to come for food and to walk around
Restaurant Review - Horrible...dont eat here, youve been warned. Amateur in the kitchen amateur servers. For the price (for any price) the food was awful. The shrimp scampi was served room temperature...the shrimp was cold inside...forgot to thaw before cooking I guess. The rice was cold and hard. The salad was old and the dressing was from a bottle. They said they would remake the dinner for me. Came back 3 minutes later with the same exact dish, only burning hot from the microwave. Gross.
We were able to finally snag a reservation after almost a 2 year hiatus. The food was delicious, the ambiance was great and the other guests were friendly.
I just ate at the restaurant, didn’t stay at the inn. I had a delicious steak salad cooked just right and my dad said the fish was very good as well. They’re salad is picked fresh from their garden. The atmosphere is very charming.
Charming and funky! Weve been coming to Joshua Tree park for years but this was our first at The 29 Palms Inn but it certainly wont be our last. The staff was friendly and accommodating to us and out 2 dogs. Food was wonderful at the restaurant but get there early or you will wait! We will be back!
The Sweet Mamma Jamma sandwich was delicious. Beautiful grounds. I was however disappointed with the service. The blonde haired waitress was slow, forgetful, and a bit rude. The place wasnt even that busy. Two ladies near us were even having issues with the same waitress. One lady received her food while her friends food never came until she had to track down the waitress to complain about it.
Awesome place to stay! Amazing location, cosy & quirky cabins, friendly staff, excellent food (locally grown I believe). Situated around an oasis, the grounds are perfect for late night walks, theres a pool, restaurant, organic farm, and live music all within the grounds, and art galleries & museums within walking distance. Loved our stay here & cannot recommend enough!
The dinner was impeccable. Grounds are interesting and peaceful. My favorite was the hut called fault line. As a geologist i can tell you it was accurate and hilarious. If you can afford it stay there.
A fantastic little gem in the desert perfectly located with a backdrop of the Joshua Tree hills. Great restaurant all fresh and mostly local grown on site. I would stay here just for the food the unique rooms are a bonus
A jewel in our desert community! Love the food and grounds, have yet to book a room for a visit. But our Morongo basin is better with the Inn here. Its sister property, historic Campbell House is a wonderful addition to the family!
Poor service, mediocre food.Stood at the door while 3 staff members walked past my daughter and I several times before I had to ask if we were to seat ourselves or not. Received a plate with food stuck on it and a glass of water with lipstick on it. Took more than 45 min to receive our food after ordering (not busy in here). Potatoes & French toast were extremely dry, breakfast sandwiches & eggs Benedict are served with lunch meat. Overall disappointed with this place.
Everything was wonderful. The staff, the food, the accommodations. I was so happy to have a restful time. That was until the noise from Tortoise Rock Casino rocked my world. What a nightmare. It was a Friday night, but still, if I would have known, I would not have come. The Casino was over a mile away, but it sounded like it was next door. What a bummer. I thought it would end at 10pm but its still going on. What a waste of money. Sorry 29 Palms, I want my money back!
Beautiful, Magical, Vintage Property! Ponds and Grass Area. Huge Vegetable Garden! Great Pool! Love the Restaurant in the Desert on site! Staff super friendly! Cant wait to return!
A legendary Inn with a restaurant just as memorable. Simple lunch fare of burgers, sandwiches and salads executed with fresh - some local grown - flavors. Didnt try any drinks - full bar or other - but tempted to go back for that purpose. Live music on occasion.Enjoy a piece of local history with dessert....and desert. Go!
Great Food! I really like going their for a different / relaxing/ + I feel like I am going back in time. So tranquil and enjoying great food great, great service and great employees;I love to go there to eat and unwind theres no place like 29 Palms Inn. Thank You 29 Palms Inn!
I like the area but some of the staff there they need some help and customer service we went to the restaurant that is there and stayed around and then we decide to see ourselves because they take too long. The only good thing they did was kept feeling or Waters up but no one ever came to service food sore after our third glass of water and the tenth time the other waitress decided tells that we are about to be served no one ever came I was very disappointed because when I was getting hangry, and secondly I was beginning to feel unwelcome Im pretty sure I will be not going back to this place again but thanks anyways 29 Palms i n n. You can do us a favor and stay hidden or step up your game thank you have a good day.
Sitting at a table at the restaurant is sitting at an oasis in the desert. You can often watch people swim while enjoying STRONG margaritas and VEGAN options. It’s a special place where the early inhabitants congregated because the aquifer lies close to the surface. Palms grow and the soil is rich. Now, the herbs grow in the Inns own farm, a farm in the desert. Some locals come here to socialize at the restaurant bar on the weekdays.
The food was amazing! At little pricey, but very good. The service was very slow though. We might go back and give it one more try, the server was new so you cant completely write off the whole place for that. The food on the other hand was very very good.
Been coming to 29 Palms Inn for the past 35 years. Truly a gem in the desert. Restaurant serves fresh fare from their garden, service is impeccable, lovely soft jazz vocal duo every night 6-9pm, rooms are quiet, private, and relaxing with a warm, folksy serene simplicity. Grounds are worth a long passeggiata after dinner or brunch. They say there’s a vortex here... don’t know if it’s true, but there is definitely a joyful, peaceful and centered energy at the Inn. History says it all. How many Inns and restaurants in California can boast a 100 year rich history?! Will keep coming till I’m adding my own dust to the sand in this desert.
I found this inn from a random blog post while researching Joshua Tree. I could not have been happier with my stay or the level of service. From my room I saw a roadrunner, quail, and hare. The bloody Marys are great especially after a hike in the park.
I liked the grounds, staff was nice, restaurant was great and had live music. Problem was that our room was small, and the AC was ineffective in the 100+ degree heat. My daughter left some crumbs on the ground and the next morning it was swarming with red ants. The breakfast was great with fresh made bread.
If you havent ever been here then you are missing out. My favorite part is the Oasis. I just want to say thank you very much to the people who put time, effort, and love into maintaining this revered destination. If you ever need volunteers in the garden, I would be honored to be of help.
This is the best place to stay in the area. Great, unique rooms, first rate restaurant and wonderful grounds to walk around. If you are into cookie cutter chain hotels, looks elsewhere. This is an eclectic, unique property that reflects the vibe and attitude of neighboring Joshua Tree.
Amazing restaurant. Old school supper club vibe. Best lamb chops ever. BBQ oysters had a nice smokey flavor. The service was outstanding.
Not only is the place a touch on the quirky side, they are conscientious; they do as much on-site as possible, reuse the recycling when can, and have wonderful food right here next to the pool.They have their own garden, in which guests are invited to stroll and see what might be on ones plate later in the stay. Pool is salt water.It took a very short time for us to get lazy and chilled, and we are now ready and raring for our next adventure, Joshua Tree Park, which is a short jaunt away.
Looking at Tic Tok today and if your staff treat people as your staff did I definitely won’t be staying there.I travel and look for places that treat their customers with respect.Your business appears not to.
We had a great time at this quirky-cool inn; loved staying in the West End cottage! The entire place is very clean despite its boho feel. We attended a wedding reception onsite and it was truly beautiful enough to be straight from a magazine. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in 29 Palms!
Since there is not many better dining places here in town. Most places are fast food cheap stuff. This is a nice thing to have in town.I would of gave this place 5 stars but i did not.This is because i have had lunch here and dinner. Lunch was great dinner was great as well but the lobster is mushi. I think this is because it is not fresh and it frozen. That is just a no no.So 4 stars here.
Some might say its pricy but its well worth the money. The food is always fantastic, beautifully prepared and i havent found a dish I dont like. The bartender is a perfectionist and the drinks that are made are top notch. I cant forget to mention the wonderful live music that really sets the bar high for any other local sit down place. I will definitely continue coming here.
I come here often and this was the worst experience Ive had. I was having lunch with coworkers and our waitress was painfully slow. We practically had to beg for the attention of the staff to order our food, get refills, and get our checks. We never did actually get our checks and finally just went to the bar and asked to pay. My colleagues order was wrong on top of the terrible service. We were all late going back to work and were so disappointed with the experience.
I went there for lunch with a friend. The food was good but it seemed to take a while before we were served. The waiters were friendly and nice and the check didnt break the bank. I will certainly go back again.
Went for dinner. Waited for seating for 30 minutes. Waited 15 minutes for waiter. Got salads but no drinks arrived until after waving down server. Long time for steak to arrive. Ordered medium well, but got rare. For the service and food, this place was a let down.
Really adorable little inn. Cute rooms, lovely continental breakfast, a little farm area, and oasis. Very clean and nice and quiet. Comfortable bed as well!
We have stayed at the 29 Palms Inn many times over the past few years. It is one of our favorite places to stay near Joshua Tree. There is a pool and eclectic accommodations. A huge breakfast is included in the nightly fee. The restaurant serves locally-sourced food, including vegetables from their own garden. Staff are friendly and well-informed. We had a flat in town and someone on the staff came and got our stranded family members. There is a small, communal room with games for kids and reading materials. Excellent place to stay if you are heading to Joshua Tree NP. The Oasis Visitor Center is just a short drive away.
The hotel is great. It echoes the esoteric and unusual nature of the area while providing comfortable and enjoyable accommodations. The staff are extremely friendly. The pool and bar/restaurant were my favorite part aside from the exceptional service.
We stayed overnight at the inn for one night prior to a day of hiking in Joshua Tree. We stayed at the penthouse room, which was a very spacious two bedroom lodge in a centralized location of the property. We relaxed at the pool, got drinks at the bar and at dinner at the restaurant. The drinks were well made and the dinner was good, but we thought it was a bit overpriced. The staff is wonderful and we overall had a tremendous experience at the inn.
Went for sunday brunch, food and service was really good, my only complaint is that i had been charged 9 dollars to add shrimp to my salad. It was a skewer of 3 grilled shrimp. I will go back because the food and service is really good, but will probably order a sandwich instead.
This is for the restaurant only.When youre out here in the wilds of 29 palms, choices could seem limited to some. But hidden away, way away, on a dirt road with a dirt driveway here it is. You might be questioning yourself as you pull into the dirt lot why am I here? Well you are in for a treat. The menu may be limited but each dish is created by a good chef with terrific ingredients. Lets take the pork chop, the salmon scallops, all excellent around our table, and the side dishes are cooked to compliment them oh so well. If youre in 29 palms this is a place to eat dinner that is definitely worthwhile. Ill be coming back when Im in Twenty-nine Palms. Oh Yes, there was live music (a guitar player) who did a fine job !
Our room was very clean and I loved the decor. Funky but not trying too hard. They also had a farm on site we could walk around and pick fresh fruit.
Only had one drink at the bar. Service was impeccable, friendly, concerned. Lots of conversatoionscensiued between all patrons and all staff. Everyone was just outright friendly. One couplevpoke bof their positive experience staying in a particular room in the hotel. Bartender said it was her favorite room. Sense of staff working thereca long time and return customers/guests. I liked it!
Always a great place to have a drink or dinner but book a stay in one of the casitas for that vintage desert vibe. If youre buying a desert cabin, then youll definitely get some inspiration from your visit here!
Ate at restaurant only . Found the food pricey and I had gotten the bar menu and my woman got the dinner menu.$73 for a 2 sliders and a 7oz 🥩 steak.
I really loved this place. The grounds are beautiful, breakfast is delicious and the beds are comfy. We will be back!
Absolutely horrible! My wife, her sister, and mother came here to relax and spend time together. They received NO service! They had to ask for menus and ask for a server, they had to go to the bar to order their own drinks. When I arrived to join them we still hadnt received service. My wife then spoke to a supervisor and she didnt even so much as apologize. We are still sitting here waiting for our change, its been 20 minutes.
Excellent place to stay at the end of a long road trip. Pleasant staff and good food in a laid back atmosphere. Cabin style rooms allow you to get a lot of privacy. an oasis for the soul.
Beautiful and charming, great food and live music
The stuff was superfriendly! The food in the Restaurant (pool view) delicious, the house clean, big and well equipped! Pool is opened untill 10pm.Breakfast was good (cereals, porridge, toast bread, marmalades, coffee, tea, hard boiled eggs, cake, but no cheese nor ham :-/
Waited an hour for my eggs Benedict. Was excited to taste the homemade holindaise sauce. Finally got my plate, there was a ton of water on my plate, no holindaise sauce, 1 very thin slice of lunch meat ham, soggy spinch and a super thin slice of soggy disproportionate English muffin. My eggs Benedict where also supposed to come with fruit but that didnt manage to make it on my plate either. Had to track someone down that wasnt my waiter to get coffee. The waiter seemed like he was on a break the whole time and just seemed to pop in once to ask how the food was, which sucked, and once to hand over the check where he then became overly friendly for what seemed his only hope at getting a tip, good luck guy you suck at your job and the only tip u get from me.... Dont Smoke In Bed. The only thing positive I have to say about my experience was getting to blankly stare at the art work on the wall for an hour wait from order to recieval of food. Oh and I cant forget the overcompensating locals who had to try to refluff the staffs pride on such terrible and over priced food after I announced aloud how disappointing my breakfast was. Couldnt be just me, read the reviews on yelp and you will find reoccurring reviews about the staffs attitude problems and the food, the loooooooooooong wait. Honestly you guys had a waiter for every two tables, come on theres like 10 tables 5 waiters and half a cook, demoted from chef. I will not recommend this place and thank god for myself and them that I will never return. Bye Felicia
Awesome place. It has live music on the weekends great food and drinks. And you can get drinks and walk around on the property. Its a hidden gem in 29 that will impress you if you go to it.
This is the second time i have eaten here. The first time i had the Wagyu beef and sauteed mushrooms. It was delicious! The second time i ordered the prime rib and was not very impressed. Plus, i got a little sick afterwords. The location is stunning and all the vegetables are super fresh. For dessert, i had the creme brulee both times. Overall, Id still eat here again, Ill just stick to the Wagyu beef.
My husband and I ate here for lunch. At first I was a bit nervous when my husband said he was taking me to a inn for lunch, but I have to say as soon as I walked into the restaurant I was pleasantly pleased. The service were very quick. The food came out hot and was really good. Will be going back for sure!
Food was amazing! our server really needed to be retrained she never got us a refill on drinks and had a bad attitude. The host was really nice and made us feel at home.
29 Palms is one of my favorite inns! It has the best experience one could get from an inn. The rooms are great, and each one is unique. My favorite rooms are the ones with fireplaces! Between the pool, oasis, and wonderful restaurant you almost dont want to leave! But Joshua tree national park is so close its easy to see the wonderful nature sights. I cant wait to come back!
I could tell you about the food, its great, or the service which is awesome. The drinks, the pool, the atmosphere, all superb. Be sure to take a walk to the pond and vegetable garden in the back. Relax and enjoy.......you will be coming back for years to come.
A beautiful place to stay - lovely grounds, great amenities (pool, complimentary breakfast), and close to the Park for hiking adventures. Each room is unique and charming. Recommended!
There’s not much as far as brunch in 29 Palms, so it’s a good thing they were doing it the right way on Sundays here before the pandemic (that’s what it’s called right? Pandemic? I forget), and hopefully it’s happening again because I’mgonna be hungry tomorrow and I don’t know how to cook.
The Joshua Tree National Park is a big enough draw as it is, but discovering the 29 Palms Inn made it clear theres more to the Mojave Desert than Joshua Tree National Park.In towns as remote as Twenty-nine Palms, finding a hotel to stay usually entails picking the least offensive option. The 29 Palms Inn is like finding an oasis in the Sahara. This place feels truly magical.The choice of cabins/rooms/house(!) is fabulous. Something for everyone.The best words I can think of to describe this place is all natural. They even grow their own food which appears on the their restaurant menu.Watching the sun come up here is a real pleasure, and thats before being spoiled by the complimentary breakfast - boiled eggs (they have their own hens), toast, sweet breads, sourdough bread, orange juice, coffee, oatmeal..Their lunch and supper menu offer even more memorable meals.All I can say is, when you make your way out here to visit the 29 Palms Inn, make sure you check-out Joshua Tree National Park at the same time.I cant wait to return.
I love the staff, they have some of the best food in the high desert, they make great drinks, have discounts for locals during the summer, its located on an actual oasis.I love it so much I put an art piece in front of the front desk!
Absolutely loved this place. Stopped in to eat at the restaurant. The steak was great. The music pool side was absolutely amazing. Really enjoyed my time here.
Probably not fair to rate them as we arrived between lunch & dinner, and the kitchen was closed. We did get served our drinks although the service was lackluster given there was no one else there. Im saying 3 stars with the understanding that i will rate them higher, if the service deems it, when we go back during dinner.
The food was good. I ordered the pork chops, gf ordered teriyaki chicken and friend the flat iron ateak; all enjoyed. They had some musicians playing by the pool. We ate inside but they have tables poolside.
Loved the Oasis of Mara from the beginning of time! We The People United Under One Earth! Thank you to all of those before me, during and everlasting! This place of little rain and many grasses will always live in my heart!
First time visiting here. I was impressed. Staff was friendly and helpful. It was hot inside, and lots of people were fanning themselves, including me. Food was ok. Bread was delicious. I would go back again.
In all of my 93 years I have never had a more pleasant stay at any hotel, world-wide, as I did at this WONDERFUL INN. Thank you ALL who work there for making it so memorable! I hope I can return again. Cheers!
Our second visit to the restaurant, once for lunch, once for dinner. The food is excellent as is the service. Bread is on the table before we even sat down which is a nice touch.will definitely return.
We love the food, drinks, the garden, pond & turtles. Havent had the chance to stay in one of the Casitas yet, but its on the list!
Not sure about the inn part but the restaurant was really good. Very small so call ahead if you can but the food was great
Charming and adorable. Very close to Joshua Tree NP. Definitely visit the restaurant while youre there... We went every day and found it to be the best did in town.
This is the place to go for an anniversary or a birthday celebration its also the place that people go for lunch. business lunches or social lunches. It also has a nice friendly bar where you can sit and have a drink without worrying about getting into a fight. In other words its a class act!
An amazing place close to the Joshua tree national park. Decent prices and fresh starters and entrées. My quinoa salad was perfect. And as a French guy I am really picky about food.
Lovely Grounds, delicious food
I did. I visited here, google, thanks for reminding me! It’s cute, but I didn’t sleep here or eat here. I was going to jump in the pool, but I think legal liability got us, and the hotel, and because of aforementioned liabilities we were not able to dowse our stems in the fluids necessary to reduce our body temps, n such.
It is a beautiful place to be at, I visit very often to sit at the pond. The food and dinner service there is great, they grow all the vegetables in house. I reccomend visiting for the ambiance and the quality food.
Thoroughly enjoyed the tostadas, they were set up like tapas & the pico de Gallo was flavorful. That onion jam on the brie burger was FANTASTIC. It made that burger.
What a gem in the desert! After hiking all day at Joshua tree, this retro style hotel/restaurant is a great way to end the day. Adorable rooms and good food!
If you want to get away from it all, The 29 Palms Inn allows you to do just that - stress, technology, bad news, bad politics, office politics, smog, superficialdom...under the rug it goes. Sure, they have wi-fi, but who needs it here? There are far too many positive distractions at The Oasis of Mara where The 29 Palms Inn is situated.The grounds here are rustic, beautiful and full of life. They grow what they cook and it tastes like there is something magic in their garden soil. There is also an energy here which is magnetic. It makes you come back, because you miss it when youre gone.Take a walk around the oasis with a Bloody Mary (they call it a Bloody Mara, and it is exceptional) in your hand. Its a simple, but brilliant experience.The palm trees around the oasis are like little, natural desert corridors which lead you to your cabin, the vegetable garden, the hen house, Cinderellas carriage, a game of horseshoes, the bar, the pool, or the bush. Take your pick - The grounds of The 29 Palms Inn is riddled with enticement.I have been coming here for over 20 years, and every year I fall more and more in love with The 29 Palms Inn. I even got married here. Try topping that without having the on/off switch for the Aurora Borealis, or a friend who owns an Austrian castle.I was brought-up in a big city, but the Inn helps me forget all about that and enjoy its gorgeous outdoor splendor, its cool bar, charming Adobe Cabins, and the best restaurant in the High Desert.Theres a TV in the rooms, but you probably wont need it. Take a dip in the pool instead, or a trip up to The Joshua Tree National Park, which is just up the road from The Inn, and can leave you feeling as though you might be on a better planet than the one you are used to. The night sky from the park looks like several layers have been added, and your eyesight just got hawkish.Book well in advance to avoid disappointment.When you arrive, making yourself at home will be really easy. Its only when you take a look around do you realize what you have left behind, and why you needed to.
We didnt stay at the hotel but walking around the 29 palms Oasis was fun. They were booked when we decided to visit so we stayed someplace else.I would have liked to have been able to stay there for a night or two.
Great place to know close to Joshua Tree NP - Fantastic food!
The server were attentive and I got the appetizers very quick and the drinks as well. it took a rediculas amount of time to get the main course and I didnt really care for the food.
Unique would be a good start, in describing this place. Each bungalow at the Inn, is more charming than the next. The food is wonderful, and the vibe is the kind of Mellow that only the desert can offer.
We went here for dinner on a Sunday night to find the place nearly full of both locals and tourists alike. Extremely friendly staff work in the restaurant and the food was some of the best I’ve had on our US holiday
Good food, good service. Brunch always offers complimentary soup and muffins which are both tasty and delicious. Definitely going back soon.
A great little spot for a visit; walking the trails through Joshua Tree, this is a great place, nice pool, a very good restaurant with such nice folks!Stop and dine or stay a bit, not a bad choice!
Quaint and historical, good restaurant and garden from which some of their food comes from. Rooms are sweet with fireplace. Water out of tap comes from well. Delicious!
Been here multiple times and usually a great experience, beautiful location, good ambiance, great food but drinks have always been unimpressive, usually they just lack anything special or interesting. That being said i keep going back for everything else.
Beautiful location, vegetables and fruit served from their own organic garden. Wonderful music and relaxing atmosphere. The drinks are delicious here too
Our extended family loves staying here when they visit us! Weve enjoyed visiting with them on the grounds and the restaurant is excellent.
Very busy, but thats expected of a Friday night. The service was excellent, and the appetizers and cocktails delicious. Live music added to a festive ambience.
Cute spot. My room was cozy. I like the staff here. I didn’t get dinner but the breakfast the next day was great. I’ll definitely be back here
Easily the best place to eat in 29 palms and surrounding area. Its like teleporting out of 29 palms and into a legitimate outstanding restaurant. No offense 29 palms but this place is too good for you.😉 Really greatful this place was here during my time in 29 palms. I only visited the restaurant but it was excellent all around.
We enjoyed another Fantastic meal with wonderful friends for a Birthday celebration. We have been eating here for 40 years! Good times❤
We visited for a quick lunch and were very happy with the friendly service and delicious lunch menu. Everything came out hot and delicious. We will definitely be back for more!
The staff is great they actually had some lady fall asleep in her car she had a room but was too tired to make it to her room ..the were very caring...and made sure she was ok ..lady in room 216...
Beautiful, peaceful escape in the desert. Great food they grow all their own fruits and veggies. Super friendly staff.
Had a wonderful stay in this small, very unique resort! We rented the guest house and it had plenty of room for 6 guest and we especially liked the wood fireplace.
About the best choice youve got for dining in this desert Oasis. Food is hit or miss based on the few times Ive been. Drinks are always great!
Wonderful Sunday Brunch. Very good menu and good food. Love the place. Had shrimp and grits. Excellent. Love the setting.
Went there for dinner and was worth the wait! Awesome food and local entertainment. Love the vibe here.👌 10 out of 10 would alway recommend.
Visited on Valentines Day. Everything was excellent! Had the best time! This is my favorite restaurant in the high desert. The food is good and the atmosphere is quaint.
Quality, interesting food choices. More $$$ than we were expecting. Good service, good food, and nice restaurant setting next to the pool worth it though.
Wonderful food, the rooms are really cool, pool is awesome and everyone is really cool and sweet. Cant wait to go back for another weekend getaway.
Come as you are, amazing food, great ambiance. Helpful staff, fantasic bar, live acoustic music. Often buay, be prepared to wait for your unique dishes.
Loved the food & service! Beautiful garden where all this fresh lovely food comes from. We will be back. What a wonderful hidden gem.
The food is usually good and the atmosphere is cool but the service is consistently awful. We need another restaurant that serves steak and baked potatoes in town.
Great place for lunch. The spicy chicken sandwich was outstanding! Even came with a side of new England clam chowder.
The food is always excellent. Tonight there was entertainment outside by the pool. Definitely a place with unique character and charm.
You dont need to stay here to enjoy a great dinner, good service and good music. It is one of the top places in the area for a good dinner!!
Very good food but minor selection great place to get drinks at or hang only thing I didnt like was a costumer who made me feel less of a person because Im a different color😔😒sometimes I wish people wait to get home before making comments
Great food & service. Had vegan option & good seafood for spouse. Pleasant sitting outside next to pool in evening.
Excellent food, drinks, service and ambiance. Highly recommend this place for a nice dinner.

2023-10-15 15:22:03Loved our stay at 29 Palms Inn! We stayed in one of the casitas. The rooms a little rustic, but so great to have a private outdoor area and the grounds are amazing!! They serve an amazing breakfast with granola that is basically addictive... :-) We ate at the Restaurant one night and the food was great. My husband LOVED the pasta special (sauce was a little on the sweet side for me) I had the rib eye. Super close to Joshua Tree Park and other things in the area. Highly recommend!

2023-12-05 16:05:40We spent 3 nights in Irenes Adobe and loved the room and the private courtyard! We enjoyed my husbands birthday dinner at the restaurant, excellent food and friendly service. The carrot cake was to die for! 29 Palms Inn is a true gem.

2023-11-03 15:35:36Its an interesting place but feels a bit like it left its glory days in the past. Too much practical is sacrificed trying to be unique and the price point just wasnt matched with the product delivered. It wasnt bad - but as someone who travels a lot and books many oddball hotels this felt about 50% overpriced.The restaurant, in particular, just didnt seem to be bringing its A game; the cut of meat they served was terrible and the prep/presentation did little to improve matters.

2023-11-20 02:20:35The menu states 3 pieces of fish and chips with coleslaw. My order was delivered to me with one piece of fish when I questioned it, was told we will GIVE me A piece of fish... two pieces weight as much as three would, I was told. Post note menu does not mention anything about weight.Was not a good experience.We are snowbirds and have eaten here once every week for five weeks, since we been back.Will not return.

2023-07-23 00:04:09This has been one of my favorite places since I found it years & years ago. I go there for a meal. Sadly, it has limited access coming out of pandemic. #1#2, the food was very disappointing. Very. There was a man who was an amazing chef. Now, I think the meal I ordered tried to be too innovative & failed. I dont know if Ill return. And when I was in 29 palms, it was one of my favorite places to dine. Been waiting for 3.5 Years to go there, only to have a disappointing meal. 😞 but I may return for drinks. Its a super cool environment. Very retro.

2023-08-15 22:43:19Hotel: Nope, I did not stay.Restaurant: YES! To make a very long story short.... This was last weekend and there were a lot of people for the meteor shower. I am certain that the restaurant was not expecting to be that busy and have to deal with multiple power outages. This did mess up the service side of the restaurant. I am not going to hold it against them. Coming out of Covid, unexpected amount of patrons, power issues for the city, yet the food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time and it was incredible.I will drive back out here (3+ hours) just to eat here again.You get a great price for a professionally prepared meal. It is a cheaper price than Morongos substandard all-you-can eat buffet.On a side note, if you are feeling lost on your way to here, you are probably heading the right way.

2023-05-21 21:33:10This hotel is truly an oasis in the desert and I only have praise for it. It is a peaceful, calm and cozy place. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The rooms are homey and clean and the restaurant serve delicious foods. I felt almost like I was at home. Thank you!

2023-03-29 18:03:48I stayed at the inn for one night on my way from Death Valley to Joshua Tree. I checked in at the restaurant and immediately loved the vibe. I made reservations for dinner. I dropped off my bags in a very cute double room that smelled of Eucalyptus or a similar scent. I loved the details and the quiet. The restaurant was lively and fun. The food was great. It was obvious that loyal locals patronize this spot. highly recommend it.
