I used to like this place but not anymore. First the room had two huge cockroches.... then the pillows were so hard they were not comfy, and the bed was not either. The only thing halfway decent was the breakfast. I will not be going back.

Okay stay

This was a one night stay on our way to California. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Good amenities (they even had a tooth brush and floss in the bathroom!). The breakfast was not very good. They started serving at 6:30 and when we get in there a little after 7 most everything was gone. Took about 15 minutes for them to restock. Eggs and potatoes were dry and chewy. Not impressed.

A rare find...a gem!

Every aspect of my stay was perfect. Check in was smooth and they accommodated my room request. The room was cheerfully decorated and very clean. Same with the bathroom where they automatically provided the normal shampoos, soap and lotion, plus toothbrush, paste, etc.The pool was quite large and very clean with ample lounge seating. The breakfast buffet was better than most and attended regularly by staff, so items didn't run out. WIFI had more than adequate speed. Every staff member had a smile or a good morning greeting. My experience was better at this Inn than at most hotel chains charging twice as much. I am from Michigan and stayed for one night, but would happily return, if in Barstow. This place is a gem!

Old style hotel but clean and room was big enough for two. I liked extra sink in the room. Shower was a little broken and shampoo was not so good. BKF was good. Hotel staff were very nice.
