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.

Large pool, great breakfast, nice staff. Gym, vending machines. Ground level rooms have a Patio door facing parking lot (some patio doors face the pool), convenient for loading/unloading the car. Nearby restaurants, stores within walking distance. Town itself seems a little rough, however at the hotel, it's been quiet and feels safe. Would stay here again.
