I stayed in Twentynine Palms several times but always a different motel. I think it is the perfect township for visiting Joshua Tree NP.

Depends on what you are in Joshua Tree for? You can camp right in there. I'd stay away from any name with a retreat.

Thanks for the info guys. KZ - we are going mostly for the hiking and to experience desert terrain and enjoy some beautiful star gazing. (We live in lush green mountains in North Carolina). We will also do a little bouldering. My oldest daughter is a "serious" climber and will probably join a guided group for a day of climbing. We really don't want to camp, but do like a fair amount of privacy and space. I had heard of Joshua Desert Retreats...should I be wary?

Seems your pretty set on that J.D. retreats. Don't know a dang thing about them. If the bed is clean and you can't hear two units away, count it a blessing in that area's choices of accomodations. As a serious climber, your certified daughter will tell you most climbing deaths happen the first 30 feet, and bouldering without the right people and gear is far more dangerous than climbing with a rope 200 feet up.
