Casa De Frank

Location mainly.

Walking in and instantly hearing and feeling the squeaky sound from the semi sticky floor. The bedframe is older and the slightest movement made loud creaking sounds.

The location is unbeatable. It feels like a little home. And I think this is what it is. A hostel? Definitely not a hotel. The kitchen is well furnished in equipments and tools. The bedroom I stayed at a tv, a large bed, a desk and a large closet. The bed was super noisy but very very comfy. The garden outside is funky and cool. I didn’t try the jacuzzi. But I opened it and it looked clean. I liked the price, pretty cheap compared to other accommodations around the city center

I guess I didn’t read properly before booking the place so that’s on me but I was surprised to be staying at a hostel not a hotel. There is nobody to welcome you in, they just send you the code and where to locate the key to your room right before your stay. The bed was extremely noisy. Every time I moved it was loud. I only saw (and used) one bathroom (that is also the restroom) to share with the entire house (4 or 5 rooms). All the doors are polished glass: the bedrooms have curtains behind but not the bathroom. You can’t see the people through it but you can definitely see their shadowy figures.

Location is great, it was clean, room is private.

As I understood, the host (and his partner?) live in the same house, so they cooked their meal late in the evening, the smell was not so pleasant, and also they talked loudly (and we wanted to sleep). The room and bathroom (master bedroom) need some improvements, it is pretty old.

I really like the hot tup. The bedroom was also super comfortable.

There are some bugs around the house and a little inside.

Convenient location, walking distance to restaurants and shops, very close to Joshua Tree National Park

Read a bunch of reviews that the place was dirty, was NOT the case at all. The house was very clean and well kept. Roy the on-site manager was very helpful and friendly. The location was incredible, right in the center of Joshua Tree and basically on the main road to the national park. My favorite part was using the hot tub on my last night while having a local beer and gazing at the desert sky.

The only "dislike" I have is that the mattress was a bit stiff. But wouldn't keep me from coming back, especially if they upgrade that bad boy.

Bien placé par rapport aux quelques restos du coin et de l'entrée du parc Joshua Tree.
