Overall, this was a great stay on the way North (considering the price). It was fairly quiet for a Saturday night, there were no bedbugs, the room and carpet were clean and the bathroom was adequate. The one complaint that another reviewer had was the "sandpaper" towels. I have to agree with their assessment, but I talked with the owner... More

This is a nice clean budget hotel. I'd recommend it to anyone passing through Barstow on a one-nighter, and to business travellers looking to stay longer. My room was clean, the bathroom was nice, the wifi was good, and the room had a small coffee maker, a microwave, and a 3 foot high fridge. The bathroom was nice and the... More

We were passing through on a road trip and ended up here at the last minute. The room was clean and spacious. There was a microwave and a refrigerator as well as a small coffee maker. The bedding was just okay-- I wish motels would get rid of those icky flowered bedspreads. There were two sinks-- one inside the bathroom... More

This could be such a nice place. The room was spacious, comfortable... there's a nice pool (oasis) area in back... breakfast was adequate... it's relatively quiet as it's set back just a bit from the highway. And it's cheap, so it's unrealistic to expect luxury. But that doesn't excuse the broken lock on my 2nd story sliding glass door, or... More

It's a $50 hotel room so I was a bit nervous, but I liked this place just fine. Obviously at that price it's no-frills, but if you want a clean quiet hotel room this is the place for you. The towels are a bit rough, and the carpet a little worn, but the room was very clean and comfortable and... More

Very clean, large rooms recently renovated. Great value at 43.99 for king size bed, fridge, micro, Coffee pot. Free fast wireless internet and a great deluxe continental breakfast with hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit and a usa today paper. What more could you ask for? We will definately stay here again.

We were very happy with this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff very accommodating. When my husband had a problem accessing the wifi, a staff member came to our room and contacted their IT person who figured out the problem (it was a problem with our computer, not the wifi). The continental breakfast was very good... More

Clean, large rooms, great value. Convenient location right off the freeway. Free wireless internet and a better than usual continental breakfast (hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, fruit).

Ok, I didn't stay here but wouldn't either. The sign outside said $46.00 and I had a coupon for $43.00 but when I arrived the gentleman at the front dest wouldn't honor the coupon or the price on the sign outside. I believe he was conducting a bate and switch operation here, plus he was very unpleasant.

Picked hotel because of refrigerator and microwave. No coffee pot in room. I asked why as they had been featured in advertisement. They said that they were so often stolen. I would be given one if I requested. This is a large establishment for a reasonable price and there were workmen standing outside last night visiting. The room was clean... More
