Sunnyvale Garden Suites

This place was a TOTAL score! The rooms, especially for the price, were fantastic! The grounds were so kitchy and fun and just made you feel like you were in frontier land in disney. Gregg, the guys running the place, was super friendly, accommodating and just all around nice. They were SO great about my dog, a lot of hotels will say their dog friendly but give you the 3^rd degree when you get there. Gregg was all love with my pup, which is so nice. Absolutely loved our stay there and will most definitely be back for another one soon!

4 of us stayed in a 2 bedroom unit that was clean, spacious and very well laid out. Both bedrooms had king sized beds, plus one had an additional twin bed. Having 1 ½ bathrooms made the mornings go smoothly. Quaint in style, and not your ho-​hum Holiday Inn or Marriott. Full kitchen, dining room and living area made for a comfortable place to be and eat. Definitely a place I would return to.

This place is very good. I recommend it to climbers. It is very cozy, quaint and charming. After a long day of climbing, this is the place you want to go and rest your head. You dont feel like you are staying in a hotel but rather an apartment. The price per room is very affordable which gives you that extra money in your pocket for your trip.

Great stay, conveniently located and cheap. These suites are for long-​term stays so they have fully-​equipped kitchens, stocked with silverware, dishes, etc.
The manager was extremely friendly and accommodating. I requested not to have guests in the apartment above me and he moved a family that was scheduled to arrive a few days later (it was not very busy in early July).
I had an issue with the bathroom door not being able to be unlocked from the inside (good thing I didn’t lock it – I was staying by myself). It was promptly fixed the next morning after I reported it.

What a gem. Sunnyvale had everything we were looking for in a memorable trip to Joshua Tree. My husband and I are camping people, we wanted to go to JTree for all the hiking and to enjoy Mother Nature, but for his birthday I wanted to do something just a bit more special and looking at affordable but unique places in JT I decided on the Sunnyvale suites.
I have to say I was more than satisfied with the experience, this was one of our most memorable vacations and the picture-​perfect stay had a lot to do with it! Our room was so spacious, a brand new A/​C kept it frosty in there, the kitchen was clean and spacious and was handy for keeping our leftovers fresh! We spent our late evenings playing pool in the gym/​rec room, and the service was so warm yet professional. They went above and beyond and gave us free wi-​if when they heard we were there for my husband’s birthday and met us with a smile anytime we saw them, so sweet. There’s a very authentic feel to this place and the space and comfort factor relative to the value, make it perfect for families too.
I loved Sunnyvale and if you’re going to JTree in an even remotely warm time of year, (or uncomfortably cold as JT tends to be when it isn’t hot) then skip out on the unbearable weather and stay somewhere unique. No it’s not like your typical Marriott but it can make your experience memorable by being different from the norm. It was for me and I will return to Sunnyvale upon our next trip to the desert!

Very nice place to stay in the Joshua tree area. Hidden away in a nice location in a desert garden setting. More like having an apartment for the night than a motel or hotel. Includes kitchen and patio with bbq. The rooms are good quality and clean.

Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Kitchen was a bit sketchy. The living-​room looked like it belonged to my late Grandmother. It was not comfortable at all, and actually I avoided it totally. The Wifi was way too expensive for the area. On the other hand, the landscape was charming and I’d love to go over there from some adorable family pictures. It could use some updating in places but the bedrooms were nice and clean.

Actually, this place is pretty cute. We stayed here in December while visiting Joshua Tree National Park. The room was clean and had a pretty capable kitchen. The garden was very nice and unique. The out-​of-​control Christmas lights synced to a radio band was unexpected, but I thought it was pretty cool! I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Twentynine Palms.
The only thing that kept it from five stars, was the daily wifi fee. That was kind of lame. On top of that, the internet ran so slow that streaming anything was impossible. But yet, all hotels seem to do that for some reason, so I’m not going to hang them out to dry over it.
Friendly staff, cute rooms and very reasonable price.

I’ve stayed the Sunnyvale Garden Suites 4 or 5 times visiting the Marine base.
Pros:
Charming atmosphere
Helpful staff
Spacious rooms
Full kitchen
Closest off-​base hotel
Per diem rates, sometimes lower
Cons:
Temperature
Small daily fee for wifi
The Sunnyvale has a really quaint and charming atmosphere. Most of the time the front desk is not manned so you pick up the phone that’s mounted to the front wall and call for an employee. They have always responded promptly.
I’ve stayed in rooms 4, 6, 11, and 14. Every room has a full kitchen and at least 1 queen bed and 1 sofa bed. Unfortunately, they’re also all equipped with evaporative coolers or «swamp» coolers. Unlike A/​C, swamp coolers can only create a certain temperature differential (usually about 30 degrees) with the outside air. This differential decreases as the humidity of the outside air increases. So on 115-​degree days or on especially humid, as we seem to have had this summer, 100-​degree days it’s just unbearable inside, to the tune of 80– to 90-​degress. This isn’t a case of the coolers malfunctioning; it’s a case of the functioning coolers being inadequate.
Management gets 5 stars for refunding me the rest of my stay without giving me a hard time about it when it was just too hot and I left to go stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott.
Bottom line: I really do like the Sunnyvale and want to support it as much as I can but I won’t be going back until the outside temperatures drop significantly.

Excellent accommodations. We stayed here while we PCS’d from Twentynine Palms. The first word that came to mind when I walked into the suite was «clean.» The facility is an apartment complex that has been turned into an extended stay kind of hotel. It’s nice, it really is. We had two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms as well as a full kitchen. Also, there’s a patio complete with gas grill; I’m a charcoal guy, but I understand. Going to be in 29 for a few? Definitely stay here. Quaint and different but a great choice.

I arrived late at night (err. morning?) at around 2am & check in was a little rough since my husband, who booked the hotel, wasn’t there with me, but the manager let me stay anyway and just had my husband come by the next afternoon when he got done with work & made sure everything was all set. The rooms are super clean and nice, they were spacious, and came equipped with everything.

Best stay of our trip from Houston to Long Beach. Very friendly owner. Pet friendly. Super clean, and modern. Close to Joshua Tree NP.
Comfortable bed, and fluffy towels.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 weeks and it was great. We had shaded parking, a clean quite room with a kitchen and they lets us bring our dog. Also they have a nice work out room and hot tub.
Very military friendly and we had bbq’s every night! I would recommend for short or long term stays.

Really quaint, not too expensive, and clean; they have everything you need at Sunnyvale. Our room was like a little studio, complete with flat screen tv, full sized kitchen, couch/​sitting area, and a nice sized bed. Each room has a little bbq grill outside of it– cool! It seemed like maybe you could rent a room by the month like a sublet. they had laundry machines on the premises. Good bathroom with a shower and environmentally friendly toilets that have a #1 and #2 flush setting. they have placards up claiming they are the first to have these special toilets. I’ve seen them elsewhere but maybe Sunnyvale really was the first one to jump on board the multi-​flush– you’ll have to decide for yourself.
They took my boyfriend to look at the room before we even checked in to make sure we liked it. Outside of hotel has fun/​silly «mining town» esq décor with pots and pans hanging all over. Before we checked out they showed us where their bird’s nest was. There isn’t much going on in 29 Palms but if you are going through and visiting Joshua Tree or Wonder Valley this is a good place to stay.

Really nice management. Big, private rooms that are more like small apartments. Not too pricey. Very close to the park.
We were very happy with it. The wireless internet does come at a small additional cost which really seems pretty unnecessary. Still, I gave it 5 stars because I liked the manager so much.

There’s not much in terms of comfort and luxury in Twenty-​nine Palms, but if you’re looking for comfort and great service, look no further than Sunnyvale Garden Suites.
My friends and I originally had reservations for another place called Twentynine Palms Inn. However, the beds were dirty and the bathroom was not directly attached to the rooms. There were scorpions on the floor… so we got out of there. This was on Christmas Eve. Desperately looking for a place, I called Sunnyvale Garden Suites at 12:30 AM. Wondrously, the manager and owner picked up and said he’d be glad to show us around at this late hour. It shows you how much care he shows towards his guests.
The rooms here are pretty much like a cozy apartment. They come with a loaded kitchen; pots, utensils, paper plates. There’s a dining room with a table and a living room area with couches and a tv. The place was spiffy clean. We got the two bedroom place. Turns out many training marines who train in the desert will sometimes live here for a few months, that’s why it’s so well equipped. Tony made sure we knew how to use the heater and that we were comfortable.
During the winter it’s very quiet and peaceful.
Tony lives in the Silicon Valley and manages this place. He provides excellent and friendly service and the grounds are beautifully maintained. Decorations abound, holiday lights set the mood. Two thumbs up.
