A rare find...a gem!

Every aspect of my stay was perfect. Check in was smooth and they accommodated my room request. The room was cheerfully decorated and very clean. Same with the bathroom where they automatically provided the normal shampoos, soap and lotion, plus toothbrush, paste, etc.The pool was quite large and very clean with ample lounge seating. The breakfast buffet was better than most and attended regularly by staff, so items didn't run out. WIFI had more than adequate speed. Every staff member had a smile or a good morning greeting. My experience was better at this Inn than at most hotel chains charging twice as much. I am from Michigan and stayed for one night, but would happily return, if in Barstow. This place is a gem!

Old style hotel but clean and room was big enough for two. I liked extra sink in the room. Shower was a little broken and shampoo was not so good. BKF was good. Hotel staff were very nice.
