Our room was clean and comfortable and good WiFi. If you enjoy a firm bed, this is your hotel. Although we did not use the pool, it was a clean and inviting area. The breakfast was not fancy but just the right amount before continuing our road trip.

Since we couldn't get a ground floor room (we are roadtripping for 3 weeks so we had a lot of heavy items) I did enjoy the balcony overlooking the pool.

I was there one night while traveling to Arizona. The staff was very helpful and the room was very clean and comfortable. I also enjoyed all what they offered for breakfast. I never got to use the pool. If you're ever staying in Barstow, CA, give them a try.
