29 Palms Inn in Twentynine Palms

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!

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.

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.

Absolutely lovely! Id have given 5 stars if the rooms had king size beds. Restaurant was delish! Service was excellent!

Loved it. Great food. nice pool.friendly staff

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Didnt stay because I live it JT but their food is yummy and the whole place is so serene

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 only went to have a drink with a friend and I expected more...I dont know..more. But the drink was perfect, atmosphere was chill, but the stand out best part was the bartender. He was perfect, professional and personable, he had me feeling comfortable - right at home. Five stars!

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

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!!!

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!

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.

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...

I really loved this place. The grounds are beautiful, breakfast is delicious and the beds are comfy. We will be 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.

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!

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.

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 pastaand 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 :)

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.

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.

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 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.

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 heris 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 lotretro, 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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 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.

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.
