Arrived, Motel 6, Barstow
Stayed 3-13-24 to 3-14-24
Decent enough for a bargain price. Don’t expect a lot of amenities that more expensive hotels have though. This is a motel after all, offering the basics, which is fine for the price.
NOTE: if you like Black Bear Diner, be sure to look for it directly across the street once you’re at traffic signal, after you leave the motel area.
Great service and good food. If you’ve never been there, beware, the portions are HUGE! And the biscuits are practically the size of a small cake! One breakfast plate is definitely shareable.
PROS
- When I first got here, I thought there was urine drops on the toilet seat. Called the front office and they sent House Cleaning up right away. Turns out it was just part of the cleaning solution that the cleaner did not notice.
- Clean king-sized bed with the mattress completely enclosed in a zippered mattress protector, and then another mattress protector (like a fitted sheet) on top of that.
- Checked for bedbugs, all clear.
- Microwave oven
- Mini refrigerator
- Standard TV
- Luggage rack
CONS
- No electrical outlets by the bed
- Long bathroom vanity, however, only one sink instead of two.
- noisy heater/AC combo
- No Kleenex
- no ironing board/iron
- Teeny tiny bars of soap (so less waste)
- very near freeway, noisy traffic, at least my room was.
