All of the Above is what I really really really don't like. Please don't get me wrong when I first came to Barstow my husband and I had to stay at the desert inn motel in Barstow California and the services we received at first was alright. It wasn't how it should've been. My husband and I had to stay at the desert inn motel for bout a week because our new place wasn't ready for us to move in quite yet. So long story short in other words the desert inn motel now as I see it is nasty, the majority of the rooms that are being renting have heavy infestation of roaches and bedbugs. If I had chance to stay there again, I probably wouldn't due to the fact that I don't live like that and it is very very very detrimental to my health and wellness and wellbeing. Oh and did I forget to mention the black mold and mildew that was in the majority of the rooms, I'll just continue on and end this review with these last words and say it's a true money saver when you're on a tight budget but just know that I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay at the desert inn motel if my life depended on it..

I was more than apprehensive about staying here as the parking lot was full of, what looked to me, rough looking juveniles (maybe older). The woman at the front desk was very helpful and assured me that it was safe. I was afraid that Expedia would not refund my prepaid rent, so I stayed. If I were Expedia, I would do a site survey some evening after nine. You may choose to eliminate this property. The accommodations were "spartan" at best.

This place was a life saver after sitting in traffic over 6 hours. But it was poor quality, people hanging out all over the place. TV did not work, I saw a roach, and the linen was dirty(thank god I brought my hotel travel kit with sheets and pillowcases). I woke sat 7:30am well before 11am checkout & on the road again. This was the only place available due to the 15 interstate being shutdown due to a chemical spill.
