I enjoy the small motel intimacy. I had a covered parking space which is great in desert heat. The room is large and the bed comfortable. The shower didn't have hot water. The staff denied the problem.

Very small bath. Mirror too low for person six ft. or more. Took too long for hot water; then it stayed for a short time and never returned. No hair dryer. No facial tissues.

El Rancho Dolores Motel is my hub when I steal away from L.A. and head to the desert. The rooms are always clean, the pool is open year-round, the fridge keeps food cold, there is plenty of parking. Plus, I am close to all I want -- Joshua Tree National Park, restaurants, sandwich shops, gas stations, a place to worship, plenty of space to stargaze. Management is always quick to help when I have a request and I always get a good night's sleep there. El Rancho Dolores keeps me in comfort and in budget.

Very nice front desk help; I had suite with 2 bedrooms and kitchenette. the second bedroom had no furniture except a bedside table and a closet which was hard to get to because there was not much room between bed and wall. Luckily there was a luggage rack that we could pull out of closet. The rooms were clean and recently renovated. Very pleasant stay.

The Motel was well maintained and clean. There were no tissues in the room, and the bathroom is small. It did have a coffee maker, refrigerator/freezer, and micro.
