I checked in quite late but host was very helpful. The motel is quite old but well kept and clean. It was a cold night but room had heating and was very cosy. Plenty hot water. Barstow has seen better days but this motel is a great price and I felt safe and comfortable staying here.

well, when I went in, it was all nice until I start seeing a lot of moths I kilt like over 10 of them and there was still multiple in this room 218. The energy wasn’t right. The room looked nice but the energy there was off. The window was easy to open there’s no screen or any bars. If anybody get a hotel do not get room 218 fam frl I highly recommend not to the other rooms. I don’t know, but based off my experience, don’t. unless if u will to feel uncomfortable and if u willing to exercise.

The motel attendant(owner) was friendly and responded promptly when our electronic key didn't work. Unfortunately our key didn't work most of the time. Our room was clean and serviceable enough as we were just passing through only needed a place to sleep one night. But the condition of the motel in general gave the impression that was closing down.

First, the little old man behind the desk demanded I present papers on my service dog,then when we told him we weren’t getting hot water, he said just let it run well that night we were OK with just warm water but the next morning it didn’t get any better than lukewarm. I’m not taking a cold shower. When we told him about the problem, he ignored us. I want my money back. I want a full refund.

The owners are perverted. Make you uncomfortable.

They are as rude as hell. The management person opened my door without knocking. I asked him not to do this, but he did it again. I know full well when it is time to check out and he needs to knock on the door before just using his key to barge in like that. Did not matter he did it again at 11:10. I was furious.

We had a reservation for 3 double beds and the entire motel doesnt have it. We went and told front desk and they offered us another fold out bed that wouldnt fit unless you rearrangethe entire room. False advertising big time!! Other cons: bathroom door doesnt close, must be swollen from moisture. Light is on a sensor and turns off randomly. Dead bolt is broken. Pool is empty. Room smells stale. Will never return to this place again. FALSE ADVERTISING! How expedia allowed this I have no idea!

I paid for a "triple room" which was advertised as a room with 3 double beds in it. What I got was a regular room with two beds, and they brought in a rolling twin cot and shoved it in the corner. All the other hotels on our trip were described similarly, but had dedicated beds like you would expect. The room was old and falling apart. It wasn't particularly clean. We got in late and left early, but the pool was dry and empty, (closed for the winter, maybe?) It was a crummy part of town, with just a walkup window made of bulletproof glass for the night shift. The bathroom was absolute garbage. The window lock was broken and a wedged in stick held it closed. It was cheaper than the competition, but the rating on this hotel is falsely high for what it is.

I booked a room online through Expedia with no problem and paid my money upfront thinking I would just get there and check in. The owner made up an excuse that he had no rooms available accusing me of coming there 15 minutes before I did and he supposively had already told me he had no vacancies. There was no way possible seeing how I just left the dentist. I did the right thing and booked all guest that we're staying in the room. He looked in the car and decided he didn't want us staying in his room for whatever reason. I've booked a room in the past with this same property and I remember how upset he got that I booked a room. It's a thing with these properties now and the locals booking rooms due to them not being able to over price us and put us in the most disgusting, unsafe, and dirty dirty rooms. We all should be treated fairly. It doesn't state that we can't book rooms due to us being locals. Only word I come up with is Discrimination..Treating people unfairly.

Stay at Economy Inn

This place has bad management along with the other complaints i expressed above. I stayed here before and the manager did not knock on the door or call. He just rudely opened the door with his key and entered my room twice. This trip the first thing was it advertises that it is pet friendly. When i arrived i came by police becsuse i had just been discharged from hospital. The staff there did not offer any assistance and put me in a room far away. They collected $10 cash for the dog. The following morning i extended my stay. The manager knocked and said its the manager open the door. I did and he gave me a blanket that i dropped the night before when checking in. He then said rudely, you owe me 10 for the dog. He only came to get the ten dollars cash. Why did he not give me the blanket i dropped when i dropped it the night before. I noticed that they did not want me to use Hotels.com to book when i called. I believe that the managers in these hotels in Barstow are thieves. They only want cash. I noticed him put the ten dollars in his pocket. Also he knew i was feeling bad and in all the empty rooms at that time he put some with noisy kids right on top of me and i got no rest all. When i called to complain about the noise he told me that he was going to change my room. Not because of the noise but because i was in a room that had 2 beds. I wanted to not be disturbed and i got no rest at all. These managers on Main Street are all crooks. They are extremely rude. Not ok

It was just a terrible experience. My friend got but in the face by bed bugs and it swole his head and eye areas. We had to change rooms at 2 a.m. with a manager who acted like we were lying to him. After switching rooms, the manager didn't give us the remote to the TV and told us just to use the buttons on the TV, which I couldn't figure out how to operate. So I had to walk back downstairs AGAIN to ask him to show me how to use the TV. After going through all of that, the coffee wasn't ready at 6AM, down in the lobby.
