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.

Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the rooms were clean, and overall the experience was pleasant. The morning breakfast was pretty good for a hotel. There was scrambled eggs, sausage links, and potatoes, along with all the other normal Continental breakfast options. My only complaint (and it's minor) was that the pillows were not very comfortable. Otherwise, I had a great stay!
