I have stay in about all the hotels/motels in Barstow and for this price point this is by far the best value. Very clean, very nice and informative front desk.... but what they have more than any other motel in Barstow is a good size pool and pool area...just wish they could heat the pool a little.

For the price it was better than I expected. It was clean, although it smells old. The facilities were nice and it felt safe. The bed was okay, good pillows. Only real complaint was the lack of hot water. The shower was lukewarm and couldn't go any hotter.

A nice, well maintained older hotel with spacious rooms, a decent sized refrigerator and Direct TV which my husband loves. The shower had good pressure with no shortage of hot water. Coffee was available by 5 a.m. and breakfast offered plenty of choices.
