Booked a room here based on the reviews. First room we got was nowhere near funky, nor unique. The funkiest thing about our room was a prison cell sized sink. Asked for a new room and were accommodated to one similar, really no different. In this room however was a rather large bug. At least it was dead so therefore... More

The Route 66 Motel in Barstow, California has been around since the 1920s and has managed to maintain its place on Route 66 all these years. If you're looking for a lavish, all-inclusive resort motel this isn't the place. If you're looking for a truly original and somewhat quirky place to spend the night then this is it. Ved and... More

The rooms were cheap and the photos promised a real authentic experience for our Route 66 road trip. We were not disappointed, as there is plenty of ambience in this motel. The owner greeted us kindly and was very helpful as he also gave us a room with a round bed, which he seemed very proud of. The only bad... More

We stayed January, 2013 for one night traveling through. What a find and a really good price. The room was rather plain but clean and comfortable. Our room had a round bed which they advertise on the marquis. The staff was pleasant. If you like old cars, be sure to stop and check them out.

Ok, most of the reviews are right, this is not the nicest and most clean hotel in the area...but it's not that bad, considering the price. Personally my bed was clean and the room heating was working well (it was pretty cold outside that night). Restroom was not so clean. The hotelier was nice. I would recommend this motel for... More

This was a late night choice - appeared ok at first and circle bed is quirky until i found a long dark hair in the sheets. Followed by plenty of hairs in the shower and toenail clippings on the floor. The roomy bathroom has absolutely nowhere to hang a towel or clothes and given all the rubbish on the floor... More

Rolling across the desert, this was the first place I came to after I decided I was done driving for the night. A very friendly reception from the owner, who provided sample size toothpaste in foil and a half size Old Spice deodorant, and told me he would put me in the quiet room! My lucky day, I thought, and... More
