“Just fine for a one night stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2010

We stayed for one night on our way from LA to Las Vegas (flew into LAX from NZ at 2.30 in the afternoon so Vegas was just too far in one day). Arrived at about 7.30pm and was greeted by a very friendly lady on the counter. Check in was simple and easy and she gave us a choice of rooms. We chose an upstairs one. The room was pretty clean and the bathroom looked like it had a basic upgrade in the recent past. The shower pressure was excellent. Beds were comfortable and its position just off the main road mean that its fairly quiet. Heaps of restaurants close by and the pool actually looked quite inviting (especially because we arrived during a heat wave and it was up over 100 degrees) No problems with this place at all and would likely recommend to others in need of breaking up their journey to Las Vegas. Clean, quiet, comfortable and safe.

“Obscene phone call to room....security guard was standing around drinking a Pepsi..”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Hello,

I have stayed here before and it is what it is: cheap room, but adequate for the $40 or so. However, last night I had a horrific experience there. I checked in with plans of simply sleeping for a couple of hours on my way to Vegas. I drive from Santa Barbara to Vegas pretty often and this was probably the 7th or 8th time I've stayed there. I checked in around 10:30 & by the time I settled down to sleep it was probably 11:30. Right when I was falling asleep I received an obscene phone call. It was pretty scary. Obviously, someone knew the room number and targeted me. I believe it had to be the clerk; who else would know I was in that room. There was no one else around when I went into the room. I immediately grabbed my things and left....how would I sleep after that? The clerk who checked me in was gone and the clerk who was working the later shift had no clue what to do. She did refund my room charge but the on-site security guard made no attempt to ask questions about what happened, make sure I was o.k., anything like that. Please ladies, be very careful if you stay here. I want to protect you from any potential problems.

“Perfect Travel Stop”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2010

We used a one-night stay here on the way to the Grand Canyon. Sure, room is small, TV is small, beds are old and there's a slight odor, but honestly, it was just what we were looking for - clean, reasonably quiet, and the best hotel shower i can remember.

“Clean, affordable but rowdy, loud and I got no sleep.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2010

Made reservation online. Have stayed in Motel 6 before with no problems. But this one was so extraordinarily loud and rowdy with men up all night belching, yelling, drinking and slamming things on the floor (I had the misfortune of getting a bottom floor room.)
I must have been right next to the laundry room or the men upstairs were taking baths late at night. The sound of the plumbing was deafening and woke me up throughout the night-leaving me with a poor night of sleep and the rest of the Mojave to drive through. I'm asking for a refund.

“not great at all...but you can survive one night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2010

person found this review helpful

this place is nothing wonderful or special. it's just ok to stay for one night on your way to somewhere else. It's located in Motel-and-fast-food-town Barstow, in the middle of all the other motels/hotels. It wasn't spotless clean, but it was ok...rooms are big, and it's very cheap (40USD per night for 2 people). You can get a wifi scratch card for 3 USD/24h in some rooms. Honestly it could have been a lot worse, and for just one night to get some sleep it's fine.
