My husband and I stayed here for one night whilst we were visiting California. We wanted to stay in an authentic motel like the kind you see in the movies, We weren't disappointed! The whole experience was great - and we felt like extras in a Quentin Tarantino film - he he he! The owners were friendly and helpful. The... more

I stayed at this motel for 5 nights during a US fieldtrip in April 2008. The exterior looks fairly interesting with old style cars and nostelgia dotted about. However the buildings are looking a bit worse for the wear, with flaking paint etc. The rooms are small and depressing with aged round beds being covered by blankets full of cigarette... more

My husband and I stayed here one evening on our Route 66 travel adventures. It's a quaint little nostalgic motel with lots of stuff to see on the property. All the old cars were a big hit with my husband. The owners were very friendly and attentive to our needs upon check-in. The room was clean and we loved the... more

we stayed in this motel as part of our Route66 trip and were greeted by a very friendly proprietress. the room was comfortable and equipped with a new air condition (which was a little too noisy for my liking), microwave and fridge were available but sadly no coffee maker (we soon learnt how to make coffee in the microwave though).... more

Nasty, nasty, nasty.........when I called to "reserve" a room, the hotel owner assured me it was "very clean". See I don't mind an old hotel, I do mind dirty. I guess everyone has their own Idea of what clean is. The shower curtain was once white but is now black with a back ground of white. You can see where... more

Management response from
route66motel, manager

The patron stated to us that "they enjoyed the room very much" and paid by credit card. If there was a major problem with any of the rooms, we would have changed rooms for them. As for the missing money, this property has always looking out for the interest of its guests, if they had lost anything, it would have...

This motel is must for any one who is going to Barstow with Route 66 on their mind. Ved and Mridu (owners) are amazing persons. I checked in - as I was checking in Mridu presented me with the "history" note book - A MUST SEE! This motel is NOT a Holiday Inn Express ("I'm not a photographer but last... more

We found this not so ordinary little Route 66 Motel on our road trip to Las Vegas. Nice stop. Clean. Cool round beds. Nice folks. Lots of different things to see on the property. More interesting than a commercialized Holiday Inn. Check them out if you want something a little different from the norm. more

I was in Barstow visiting the Route 66 attractions and happen to come across this motel. I was unsure at first, but come to find the property and all of its unique route 66 artifacts to be a lovely stay. I slept on their famous round beds!! So I was a 70's hugh for a night :) I also got... more

The Route 66 Motel in Barstow has quite the exterior with a large collection of old cars and lots of neon including the trademark Route 66 sign. However on the two occasions I stayed there (room 101 and 104) I found the property very poorly maintained with garbage under the beds, walls with several clearly visible patches and a uselessly... more
