Probably your best option in Mojave

We didn't want to stay in Mojave--and honestly most of the hotels there looked pretty sketchy, but this was the least-sketchy looking, so we gave it a go. Turns out it was a good call. The room was clean, the beds were comfy, the bathroom was modern, and the breakfast was excellent (extra points for the wonderful little woman who was managing the breakfast all by herself. She was refilling the chafing dishes, cleaning the tables, and answering questions all at once with a smile on her face). The only downside was Mojave. It just isn't a great area, but there's nothing Best Western can do about it. So if you have to stay in Mojave, stay here!
