Wrong side of town. Less desirable clientele.

Air conditioning had problems going on and off causing me to not get sleep. Bed had uncomfortable dip.

Not very clean

Unfortunately the room was not very clean and smelled like old stale sigarette smoke, very nasty. All I was hoping for was a clean safe hotel and this wasn't it. I cleaned the sticky TV-remote myself and the cloth I used was very black and nasty afterwards. Really not recommended. The receptionist was also on the phone when I arrived and made me fill out the form twice because she made a mistake.

NOT the best in Barstow, by far.

Do NOT stay here on a hot day! The room was not pre-air conditioned and it was 109 out. It took many hours to cool down. Towels are like sandpaper. Tap water tastes awful. No tissues, just toilet paper. Free high-speed internet was about the only good thing. And they have a no cancellations, no refund policy, so you are locked in once you make a reservation.

You can do better than "Best"

I stayed for one night. The manager could not speak English. There was a tremendous amount of noise from off site. There were no amenities, IE. coffee, toiletries, etc. The bed was uncomfortable.

Not the best experience

The motel was not up to standard. The room was not dirty in itself, but the towels and beddings were only off-white and some had cigarette-burnt holes. The worst thing was the parfume smell in the room so strong we almost couldn't breathe. It also made our clothes stink for the rest of the following day. Overall, the (luckily) 1 night at the motel was in a survival mode. It was possible to survive it, but we were more than happy to leave that place.

Dormir dans un cendrier

Sur 15 jours de route en hĂŽtel Ă  petit budget, c'est la seule critique nĂ©gative que je fais. Nous ne nous attendons pas Ă  un grand luxe lorsque nous magasinons un prix mais quand mĂȘme il y a un minimum requis. L'accueil sent l'encens comme si on voulait camoufler une odeur ..cigarette peut-ĂȘtre. La chambre non-fumeur empestait carrĂ©ment la cigarette...nous avions l'impression que chaque couverture, oreiller ou rideaux dĂ©placĂ©s relevaient l'odeur. Les draps avaient des trous qui Ă©taient sans doute fait par des brĂ»lures de cigarette. Nous y sommes restĂ©s mais les bronches en ont pris un coup. Les chaises autour de la table Ă©taient tachĂ©es..et ce n'Ă©tait pas des taches rĂ©centes. Je ne m'y suis mĂȘme pas assis. J'ai demandĂ© de la glace et on m'en a remis dans un contenant qui n'Ă©tait pas propre, sans sac plastique. De plus, cet hĂŽtel semblent hĂ©berger en permanence des "locataires". Ces gens ne sont probablement dangereux, mais qualifions les de "spĂ©cial".
