Established in 1929, 29 Palms Inn is a historic collection of wood and adobe cabins with a restaurant/bar and swimming pool available on the grounds. Minimizing distractions of the outside world, the rooms do not come with telephones, radios, clocks, and only very small black-and-white televisions without cable.
The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. The hotel has a small, heated pool that is half in the sun and half in the shade. There is a small fitness center as well. Free breakfast consisting of hot and cold food items is offered. The hotel is handicapped-accessible, with several rooms featuring roll-in showers and lifts for both the pool and the spa.
