Front desk were courteous. Rooms were clean. Breakfast we’re ordinary but good. The only thing that I didn’t like was while we’re eating there’s a man maybe a customer that singing out loud the entire breakfast. It bothers me since of Covid and just need to have a nice and quiet breakfast.

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.
