Second time staying here. Brought the kids and got the 2 bedroom bunk. This place is always super clean and quiet. Everyone is friendly. They also have day passes for the pool. Do wish they had microwaves and coffee makers in the rooms- but there are both in the lobby. Would also like a single top sheet on the beds instead of just the comforter- gets kinda warm for bedding. Perfect stay! read more

Turns out there was a cancellation policy: full refund only within 24 hours of booking. That window was in tiny print, easy to miss during checkout. I've stayed in plenty of hotels over the years and, like most people, I don't comb through every line of fine print at booking -- I trusted that a standard cancellation notice would apply. A 24-hour window isn't a real cancellation policy for a stay booked months out; it's a technicality designed to keep the charge no matter what. What makes this worse: this is a small property. If they rebook the room for those August dates (likely, given the lead time I gave them), they get paid twice for one room -- once by me, once by whoever books it next. That's not a cancellation policy, that's a windfall at the customer's expense. I understand small businesses need protection against last-minute cancellations. A 24-hour refund window on a months-out booking isn't reasonable notice, it's a loophole. Book elsewhere unless you're 100% certain of your dates -- or read every word of the fine print before you pay. read more

"Ask the dust on the road! Ask the Joshua trees standing alone where the Mojave begins." -- John Fante Where our quick CA roadtrip/business trip started was here. Its a solid motel with IKEA like furnishings in the rooms, no breakfast but has coffee, pool but no elevator, cute gift shop and very friendly staff. Room was quiet with extra bedding. Location is ten minutes from Pioneertown, 30 minutes from Joshua Tree. Recommended if you get a good Expedia or Booking.com price read more

It was nice and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend and visit again.

The Field Station is all that you want in a hotel. It is affordable, clean, and in a good location. I paid about $131 a night. It is close to a lot of great restaurants and hiking trails. The room was very clean and spacious. The design of the room is a little different than other hotels. I myself like the simplicity of it. I also loved the patio access and community fire pit. I got to meet some very nice travelers. I noticed many retired couples and out of country vacationers. The staff at the lobby are great, nice, and funny. They also have a maintenance guy name Mikey. The is very polite, and fast responding to requests. I had an injured foot. So I could not use the pool amenities. In the pool area, they also have games to play. Such as corn hole, and others. The only thing that they are missing. Is a complementary breakfast. I would definitely stay again. read more

I want to like Field Station. I like their concept, renewing an out of date motel and curating an adventure hub that you can rely on for a consistent experience across their brand (though their Moab location was sold to a corporate chain). But after multiple stays, I'm concluding it's all a bit half-assed, and not well-thought out. The good things: the entire campus is so clean. Our rooms were immaculate, very modern, and common spaces were cute and welcoming. The beds are 1000% the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever stayed on. Towels are comfortable, and I ended up ordering a set the first time I stayed here. Our spacious room was great for organizing and sorting gear before/after JTree adventures. And the Nomadix blankets are great for winter stays - they turn into a cape that I can multitask in (read: have a drink by the fire pit) while staying cozy. Oh, and I was given a returning customer discount when I emailed ahead of booking. Now for the not so good things that you should consider before staying here: 1. It's an old hotel with thin walls, despite the refurbishment. You will hear your neighbors, and your neighbors will hear you. And if you have a grumpy guest yelling at the poor staff for things out of their control, you'll hear that too. 2. It likely depends on the room, but don't plan to use all 5 beds if you book the double bunk room. We booked the room for a group of climbers, and luckily our 5th opted to get a separate room with their partner because one of the top bunks is directly beneath both the ceiling lamp (heating the bed space and blocking the light from reaching most of the room that doesn't have any other lighting) and beneath the only air vent in the room (which kicks on every 30 minutes, directly into the pillow side of the upper bunk). I "slept" in this bunk one night, and couldn't figure out a way to block the air from sweeping onto me and waking me up every time. 3. No matter the room, it comes with an uncomfortable camping bench for two. Yes even in the room supposedly meant for 10. The luggage bench, with its bumpy rubber rails (our room was missing the bench cushions other rooms had) was not suitable for anyone trying to play board games (nor was the tiny table). We grabbed the folding chair out of the primary bedroom and pulled in the 2 Adirondack chairs from the balcony. 4. There's two outlets in the main living area - one for the fridge and one for supposedly 8 people's worth of rechargeables. No extension cords or surge protectors at Field Station, we asked. In a smaller room I stayed in, they were part of the furniture next to the bed. In the double bunk room, plan to invade the primary bedroom with your phones, watches, headlamps, battery packs, etc. 5. The WiFi was shoddy enough in our building that not even the TV could connect to anything. After 20 minutes of letting it buffer, freeze, and snow, we gave up. 6. The bathroom is claustrophobically small, you'll have to spin in place to close the door. The window looks directly into another bathroom. And there is extremely limited spots to hang a wet towel - ONE hook in or near the bathroom, no crossbar under the sink, no rod in what used to be the closet alcove, anything. We got creative hanging it from chairs and bed posts, but this felt ridiculous for it not being a hostel. 7. No amenities in room except for a fridge and a thermostat (which was a plus that it worked well). The microwave is in the lobby, purchase coffee at the cafe, and we brought our own camp kitchen to slap some sandwiches together before we headed out for the day. 8. Don't expect to use the fire pit for s'mores. I'd called in advance to ask, and got incorrect info that we could roast mallows, but staff politely asked us not to because they can't have things dripping into the metal rings. 9. Gear shop doesn't have much in the way of gear. It's 90% clothing with a few technical items under a glass display case. Familiar brands like Outdoor Research and Black Diamond though! All in all, our stay was nearly $1,000 and there were far more cons than pros. I'd recommend Field Station for a couple or family, but if you want to book as a group in a suite, I'd continue looking. read more

We were hesitant staying here as this is really the only hotel in miles and it's not a named brand chain hotel, but so glad we took a chance on it. The staff members were very welcoming and went above and beyond - they made us lunch items at the cafe even though it was an hour or two before lunch time. The resort was relaxing and had plenty of amenities (board games, fire pits, pool, jacuzzi, etc), and the rooms were very sleek and clean. We liked it enough to get a pair of branded socks. Would highly recommend! read more

Can't wait to come back! read more

Nice property. The place serves the mountain biking and hiking community very well. The room we had was very comfortable and quiet. Dog and I did the fire pit--very relaxing. The front desk offers cafe drinks and lite breakfast and lunch items--very delicious. Shout out to Amberlyn at the check in and check out for great, friendly assistance. I'd give this property a six star review if app permitted. read more

Oasis in the Desert We stayed at Field Station for three nights while exploring Joshua Tree National Park in early August, when temperatures were around 104-105°F and reached as high as 115°F. For us, this place was an excellent choice. Field Station felt like a little oasis of simplicity and structure in the middle of the dusty desert. Our room was spacious, exceptionally clean, and comfortable, with two very comfortable queen beds and a cool polished concrete floor that felt wonderful after a hot day outside. Having the pool right outside our door was a very nice bonus. The property is relatively new, with a simple, understated design that we really liked. And at around $89-$119 per night when we stayed, the room rates were very reasonable. Two minor drawbacks (which bring my rating to 4.5 stars instead of 5 ): There is no coffee maker or microwave in the rooms, and the on-site food/drink area is much more of a small coffee station than the bistro I had imagined from the description. The "gear shop" is also quite small. BUT, there are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby, so none of this was a real problem for us. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Clean, comfortable, modern, well located, and refreshingly uncomplicated. We would definitely stay at Field Station again when visiting Joshua Tree. read more

The best thing about Field Station are the people, both staff and folks staying here - helpful friendly chill vibes! Clean, modern, well-appointed with touches that are big (pool with hot tub, communal area with board games, filtered water, microwave) and small (mini-fridge in the room, balconies, even a small spot in the shower to rest your leg while washing). Appreciate the on-site cafe and small shop and fire pit (although wish it was wood-burning), great location, affordable - only drawback was that they keep the lights outside on and no blackout curtains so it was difficult for the kiddos to sleep. it was, however, quiet despite it being sold out (winter break) read more

The rooms are well appointed and clean. It's nice to have such a cool, dog-friendly option in the area. Beds are comfy and coffee at the front desk is included. I lucked out with an early check in. The front desk was super helpful (I got a flat tire and they recommended a tire shop). My dog loved the stay too. read more

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. read more

They will act like theyve never heard of 3rd party booking even though they arent a chain and in the middle of nowhere so how else do you find them. Front desk person was exasperated before any interaction either. Seemed to not want to deal with guests at all. Biggest thing, the room had ROACHES by the fridge and in the bathroom. Additionally, there are no ice buckets. They will just give you the bag thats supposed to go inside and it leaks everywhere immediately. Didnt make it from the ice machine to the room without it dripping all over. read more

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. read more

There's a lot to love about this motel. They did a really great job on the remodel. The grounds are nice, fire pits and space to relax throughout the property. I was happy to see a hospitality group take over the former sad ass Travelodge and give this place much needed love. Outdoor adventure theme is cool, with a little gear and apparel shop up front. I love the big minimalist rooms. Always clean with large firm mattresses. Was bummed that this stay in my room felt like constant mini earthquakes due to the construction on the adjacent road. Starts super early weekdays. Probably best to stay on the other side of the motel if possible. No fault of motel but they need to inform guests this is going on - it's pretty nuts. The pool and jacuzzi area are nice. Wish the pool was heated. Sweet cafe and lounge area and the staff are always amazing and incredibly helpful. I've been staying here since they opened and it's a convenient and relatively inexpensive option if you're headed to the park or pappy's for a show. I love that I repeatedly see the same staff at the front desk. Makes me think kindly of the management. read more

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 read more

We just discovered this amazing place! We were greeted by Amber who was friendly and welcoming. The lobby is so cute with a little cafe serving coffee and spirits. Our room was very spacious and clean with all the amenities including electric window shades! Don't forget your swimsuit for the jacuzzi and pool! This place is a complete gem!! It will be our go to every visit! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Had a fantastic 5-night stay at Field Station in Yucca Valley. The space is clean, thoughtfully designed, and has that cool, simple desert aesthetic that feels both modern and relaxed. It's incredibly adventure-friendly- perfect if you are traveling with bikes or outdoor gear. The location makes it easy to venture out for day trips to Joshua Tree National Park, Palm Springs, or other nearby towns. The highlight was Amber at the front desk. She was genuinely friendly, personable, and helpful. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

All the best to the trekker's and explores who stay here. Really, I wish I could go 3.5 but here is why I'm rating this place low. We stayed here because it is close to a venue where we attended a wedding. The place is rudimentary, and as one other reviewer said, an old hotel with a pretty nice makeover, but not 100%. Small bathroom, hard floors without any rugs, not even a floor mat upon entry. Thin walls and doors and you can hear your neighbors. The lobby has limited food choices for breakfast and nothing included. We arrived on a Friday and there was a youth group using the pool area - pizza and towels were left in several spots around the pool and still there the following Sunday. Nobody apparently checks the area. The TV was a good size but the sound was tinny, especially with the ceramic floors. I will say the staff was friendly, but others in our party had to wait for rooms well after the check in time, even though we all had reservations. And much of this might have been accepted except the place charged a quite a large sum for the room (north of $240 a day). read more

Field Station is a hipster airbnb on steroids. Rooms are about the size of your average NYC studio apartment with clever interior design that works well in a hot climate. The property is owned by the folks who also run the airstream trailer park in Joshua Tree and clearly know how to cash in on the dog-owning, latte-wielding, work from home crowd (a QR codes directs you to the sites where you can purchase what's in your room). That's why it's all the more surprising that this upgraded motel does not offer a secure internet connection, despite the fact that a place to charge your device is never more than two feet away. The main reason for this mid-range rating, however, is the front desk service. While both individuals we interacted with were definitely nice, they are not up to the task of managing a property of this size. They clearly lack the experience and/or the authority to make the necessary decision to deal with any problem situations. This affected us when we discovered that our room was immediately next to the motel's industrial laundry facility and machines were running non-stop from 7 a.m in the morning to 10:30 at night. Not the scenario we wished for when coming out to the desert for some quiet time. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.
