This is the only hotel in Barstow that advertised its price on its sign in front. It also gave other details that drew me in. I learned it used to be a Comfort Inn, but the owner has recently gone independent and refurbished the place. The room was excellent, with minor imperfections that should concern the owner more than the... more

This was a no frills kind of place and you should prepare yourself for those places. The room was good less for the odd smells we had in ours. Not really sure what it was other than just odd. The room was big and had all you needed but the smell was wierd. The hotel had ok restauants nearby but... more

The hotel in Yermo (we wanted to visit the nearby Calico ghost town) was totally booked. So we returned to Barstow about 9:00 at night. Apparently (because of some event in Laughlin) many hotels were almost full. The California Inn was one of the first we saw, when getting off the freeway. They advertise ANY ROOM for $49.95 on their... more

As we pulled back the covers on our bed, I was horrified to find two long black hairs, along with one small curly one (shudders). There was smears of ?, I don't even want to imagine on the chair. Dirt smears on the walls. The night desk did bring us new linen....so we could make our own bed. I couldn't... more

This dive is run by an Indian family, who "maintain" the property themselves. The only employees are the front desk staff and the maids, who do a superficial job at best. There is no security whatsoever. The rooms are larger than average, but they are not well-mainained. Carpets and upholstery were stained, with furniture and fixtures falling apart. TV remote... more

This hotel was formerly known as Comfort Inn Barstow. It is a good clean basic hotel that provides a decent location, room and breakfast for a very good price. Staff are very helpful more
