I stayed in Palmdale because it was midway on my travels from Roseville, Ca. to Prescott, Az. There is an air museum, but it was only open midday. There are a few restaurants within 3 miles, mostly fast food. I ate at a pizza place, but it was mediocre. Easy to get to from the freeway, not much traffic. Quiet neighborhood, adequate accommodations. I would stay again if I need to overnight in Palmdale. Good value.
