Once you’ve done your homework on searching for the right hotel, and you’ve found the one that’s comfortable for you, search no further. My family stayed here on 2 separate occasions 30 days apart.

Overnight in Barstow

This is a Motel in a row of other motels in this area. The only good thing I can say: the best shower I had in my trip!!! The beds are confortable and the room is decently spaced. The area around did not give a safe feeling. Food option around are small. I went to the Denny's. The hotel might look to be far from the train line - but I could hear the train going at night time.

It was a really nice inn however it is near gambling and it's right next to the freeway. It is a pet friendly hotel unfortunately for us the person staying next to us had a dog that kept barking until their return which was 11:30 so keep that in mind if your just passing through.

The lights in the room were all pot lights. No lights by the beds. There was only a small desk to put luggage or things on. We couldn't get the tv remote to turn the tv on. I tried to turn it off manually but it wouldn't turn off. Ended up putting a towel over it to block out the light.

This place is absolutely terrible. The guy at the front desk gave me a key to a room that already had someone. That guy was about to kill me and i honestly don’t blame him. When I got to the guy in front desk he didn’t even care. Regarding the room it say full of hair everywhere. I was offer to live here again for free I wouldn’t take it.

My husband and I pulled up to the Star Dust which looked like a dump from the outside and there were sketchy people outside smoking, so we ended up staying somewhere else. I called for a refund but the front office person barely spoke English, so Expedia helped me in contacting the hotel for a refund. Don’t waste your money. They’re plenty of other local hotels to stay at in much better condition for almost the same price.

Cleanliness was an issue

I can’t say that the room was filthy but it was certainly not clean. I’m not sure if the bed sheets were washed as there were stray hairs on them and holes in them. The pillows and mattress are probably decades old. The bathroom tub had a lot of stains and dark spots so I didn’t shower. I found and killed a silverfish on the wall. The front desk people were nice. Overall, this is a cheap place to stay so you get what you pay for.

Ok für eine Durchgangsübernachtung

For one night in transit at this price absolutely ok. Many small details show that the interior should be refurbished soon.The height of the office chair at the table can no longer be adjusted. I took a cushion to sit reasonably comfortably to be able to work my computer. The tap in the bathroom is so calcified (due to age) that nothing can be adjusted. Water simply comes out of the ceiling shower. Insgesamt sauber. Ein Kissenbezug und der Teppich hatte Flecken, welche durch bessere Reinigung entfernt werden könnten. Ich habe gut geschlafen.
