Welcoming You to the Joshua Tree National Park,
29 Palms Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center
& The Joshua Tree Retreat Center
A family place. Motel Moriah has been a waypoint for travelers crossing the Mojave for over sixty years. Under new family ownership, we've restored the property to its original character — quiet rooms, honest meals, and the kind of solitude you can only find this far from anywhere.
A place to sleep. Nothing more, nothing less.
The Diner
The Moriah Diner serves breakfast and dinner seven days a week. Everything is made from scratch. Coffee is always on. We don't take reservations — just walk in and sit down.
The Grounds
Fourteen acres. A working fuel stop for long-haul trucks on Route 9. A small garage for basic repairs. If you break down out here, this is where you end up. Most people are glad they did.
The Rooms
6 room. Each one clean, private, and furnished simply. No televisions. No distractions. Just a bed, a window, and the desert outside it.
