I like this hotel for several reasons. 1- I can park my car hauler easily. They have a good parking lot for big rigs. 2- Price is descent. Sometimes gets a little more expensive than other hotels around but other times is perfect. 3- Breakfast for me is very important. They have a perfect breakfast for the money. 4- The rooms are simple but are very clean and neat. The bed is comfortable and has a good smell of being clean. I believe you understand what I mean. 5- 2 bottles of water free of charge inside the refrigerator, even a tooth brush and tooth paste in the bathroom. Cool. 6- Very quiet. I like that. 7- Their team is very nice, do everything to make you feel welcome here. I did not stop here often but it is my favorite hotel heading down to L.A. I have business to do about 30 miles south and, after that, in Los Angeles. I prefer stopping here and wake up earlier instead stopping in other cities.
Rooms are clean and well maintained. Entire property is clean and safe. Breakfast is everything you need and more. Staff very welcome and accommodating. Not the first or the last time I Will stay.

They did a renovation of the rooms and it was very good value for the money, room very clean, staff is friendly and breakfast is reasonable considering the standing of the place. I enjoyed it!
The room is basic but clean. Room has a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Breakfast is simple but has everything you need.
Great location, (within walking distance to Del Toco). Clean rooms, quiet and great staff. Price was perfect. Only thing I can say as a negative if I have to is, could use a few updates. But, it wouldn't keep me from staying there again. Had a great stay.
The pool is fantastic! It’s very clean, and super spacious. The lounge chairs are super comfortable and the grills are very convenient. The staff are super nice and friendly, Overall it was a wonderful experience!
The place is amazing, but the water is not that hot but it is still amazing. The room service is amazing. The pool is really cool. Place is a 8.5 out of 10. I recommend this hotel. It is really good for its price. You should definitely stay here.
We enjoyed a family room here! Very accommodating for three beds in one room. The beds & pillows were comfortable. Room was clean as well as the bathroom! Also enjoyed the free breakfast with the stay!
Not bad for a hotel. Really can’t complain about anything. The room did not smell, and the bed was comfortable, though the hallways had a bit of a scent. Room floors were mirror glossy shiny tile, clean. Only thing I don’t like is the room buildings are separate from the main check in building where you eat breakfast, so you get to walk outside in the cold at the butt crack, which wasn’t fun. They had a couple different egg options, but the scrambled was a little overcooked, and they had sausage, and biscuits and gravy. So you get a nice breakfast. If you ever serve eggs, a cheap way to really up your game is to offer salsa. I recommend you guys do that.
A mile from Interstate 15, this modest hotel is 11 miles from Calico Ghost Town and 2 miles from the historic Barstow Harvey House.
