Green Tree Inn

Standard rooms feature one queen, two queens, or one king bed with quality bedding, private en-suite bathroom (shower-tub combination, towels, soap, shampoo), climate control with both heat and AC, 32-inch flat-screen TV with cable, in-room coffee maker, mini-fridge in some rooms, hair dryer, iron and ironing board on request. Wi-Fi is complimentary and works reliably throughout the property. Rooms are non-smoking; smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas. Pet-friendly rooms are available with a $25 per pet per night fee.

The outdoor pool is the property's most-used amenity — heated seasonally, surrounded by lounge chairs and a small grass area. Pool hours are typically 8am-10pm. The pool is popular with families and a real selling point in summer when High Desert temperatures regularly exceed 100°F. A small fitness area with basic cardio equipment is available 24 hours to registered guests. There's no business center per se, but the front desk can print boarding passes and other documents.

Complimentary continental breakfast is served in a small nook off the lobby from 6am-9am — waffle iron with batter, cereals, toast, muffins, fresh fruit, juice, coffee, and tea. It's basic but reliable and saves time and money for early-departing Route 66 travelers. The motel does not have a restaurant or bar on-site; Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe, Molly Brown's Country Cafe, and dozens of chain restaurants are within a 5-10 minute drive.

The Green Tree Inn is just off I-15 at the Green Tree Boulevard exit (Exit 147), making it accessible from both north and south. The location is roughly 5 minutes from Old Town Victorville's D Street historic district and the California Route 66 Museum, 5 minutes from Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe, 15 minutes from Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch in Oro Grande, 30 minutes from Barstow's Route 66 Mother Road Museum, and 10 minutes from the Apple Valley Inn and Victor Valley Museum.

For Route 66 travelers, the Green Tree Inn works equally well as a one-night stopover or as a multi-night base for exploring the broader High Desert. The freeway access makes day-trips to Calico Ghost Town (45 minutes), the Mojave National Preserve, the Cajon Pass, and even Las Vegas (2.5 hours) easy. Local shopping (Victor Valley Mall, big-box retailers) is within 5 minutes, useful for stocking up on snacks, water, and supplies before continuing your Route 66 drive.

Other nearby budget-friendly motel options include the various chain properties along I-15 (Days Inn, Best Western, La Quinta, Holiday Inn Express), all in roughly the same $90-150 range. The Green Tree Inn's independent operation, slightly older property but well-maintained, and pet-friendly policy make it a viable alternative to the chains. Read recent reviews before booking — service quality at independent motels can vary, and current management's reviews are generally positive.

Book directly through the motel's website or by phone for the best rates and most flexible cancellation policies. The motel is listed on the major booking platforms (Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com) but direct booking is usually 5-15% cheaper. Cancellation policies vary by rate type; non-refundable rates offer the deepest discounts but no flexibility. Standard rates typically allow cancellation 24-48 hours before arrival.

Check-in is 3pm, check-out is 11am, late check-out may be available on request based on occupancy. Front desk is staffed 24 hours. Free parking is available on the property; oversized vehicles (RVs, trailers) may need to call in advance to confirm fit. The motel is fully ADA-accessible with accessible rooms available; mention any accessibility needs at booking.

For 2026 Route 66 Centennial peak travel weekends (especially the September Route 66 Mother Road Festival in Victorville, holiday weekends, and spring/fall travel peaks), book well in advance — independent motel availability tightens fast. Rates rise modestly during peak weekends but the Green Tree Inn remains substantially cheaper than chains throughout the year.
