This a small very clean motel on Route 66. We informed the hotel on our late arrival and they were kind enough to upgrade us to the rooms further from the parking lot so we could get enough sleep. It’s a very well maintained property, everything is clean, our room had a kitchenette with the fridge. The breakfast has a good variety. If you want to have breakfast you need to come before 8:45:) they close it at 9:00 am sharp. Overall it was a very nice 1 night stay on the way to SF.

Basic motel - bed comfy, TV works, 2 chairs and a desk/table. The host gave me all the info I needed to know about the room and Wi-Fi and local restaurants when I checked in. Gave me an upstairs room which definitely has the nice view. Place feels secure with good night lighting. Can hear our neighbors moving in their rooms if they bump connecting walls, but don’t hear TV or conversations. Haven’t tried breakfast yet but guessing it’ll be fine. Appropriate for the price. I would come back.

Requested in reservation for second floor room but was told that none were available. No power to refrigerator until i found power strip and turned iy on. I know that electric power in california is very expensive but even the electric clock had been unplugged. Wife complained that there was no Kleenex.

Just fine
Motel was fine. Updates here and there. Beds comfortable. Fine for one night stay traveling back home. We arrived late and had to ring the bell to get in to check in. It took a while for someone to come. They serve a small breakfast. My family was sleeping in so my husband ran to get us food and brought some back. Said the owner got mad and told him the whole family should wake up and come. It was just paper plates and not that much food so we weren’t sure what the big deal was. But overall it was fine for our need to just have a place to sleep and a bit of food before moving on.

Great room and breakfast!
When we opened the door to the room everything was clean and inviting. There were special touches like shampoo and conditioner provided as well as a coffee maker, fridge and microwave. In the morning, we enjoyed the breakfast that was provided. There were many choices of beverages-- coffee, other hot drinks and juices, as well as food--waffles, various breads and donuts, cereal, yogurt and fruit. It was a very great experience!

Friendly staff, but not a great value
The staff was friendly, however I got the impression that the owners are pinching pennies. While I completely understand the need to turn a profit, the extent they went to was detrimental to the experience. Noteable examples: the bed not have a fitted sheet, but rather a second flat sheet to protect the mattress (which came up constantly throughout the night); at breakfast the attendant would call people out for using the wrong type of cup (i.e. styrofoam instead of plastic) despite the "correct" one being hidden due to lack of counter space. All-in-all I expected more for the price, in comparison with others in the area.

Dear Guest,Thank you for taking the time to right about your past stay. I apologize for the experience was less than satisfactory. With respect to our beds, they are fitted with a bedbug repellent encompassing mattress pad, followed by a padded mattress pad and the respective bed sheets. Unfortunately, we do not have fitted bottom sheets at our property as we order fresh sheets every week from our distributor. With respect to the breakfast room, I have reorganized our space so our cups are more visible. Our only concern with plastic cups vs styrofoam is that we do not want our guests to burn themselves if they were to use a plastic cup for the coffee. I thank you for bringing these matters to our attention as it allows us to strengthen the areas that need attention. Guest satisfaction is important to us and we take your feedback seriously to implement positive change. We hope you have a good new year and hope you may give us a chance in the future to improve upon our service for you and your family.Best wishes,Bindiya VallabhGM

A useful place to stay if you are on Route 66 or similar road trip. The town is a working centre for the railroads so there’s little else for the traveller. We had a few check in issues when the reception had no booking for us but luckily had room however the one given had not been made and was as the previous guest had left it but once we got room two we found it was clean and fine for a nights stay. Breakfast was buffet style and lots of choice. Parking in the courtyard was ideal. A few places to get food along the street.

Excellent value and great breakfast choices
This small vintage hotel on Route 66 was right off of highway 40 . What made it special was it was tidy and neat inside and out. It was evident the pride of owner ship. The small breakfast room had many special choices bigger hotels do not have, oat milk , real 1/2 and 1/2 fruit, chapichino , plus cooked to order eggs.

Best smart for Barstow, like family
Barstow, Ca is just like in the middle of no where land. Grew up here and went home for a visit. Not much to choose from, and you need to rely on reviews. My family and I got two rooms and were very please. It is a smaller Hotel and well kept. Nice little garden to enjoy, the rooms where clean and you can tell it. Compared to most homes.. this was an A+. Very friendly and kind, and they keep the area private, and the small pool looked great, yet we did not have time to swim. They have a cute area with a good selection for breakfast. I watched them clean rooms, and they do clean the room. BED I loved, the little touch of light above the headboard was sweet. I will always book here every time I return home. I can say a lot more. It felt like my little home away from home. Thanks for having us.

Ok budget motel
The owners/staff were great... friendly and helpful. The rooms were mostly clean. We spilled a drink on the floor and when we cleaned it up the towel was FILTHY. The vinyl floors needed mopped! The drains didn't work well. All in all, the room was about what you would expect for rhe price, but mop the floors!
