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

These are things I found disgusting: The desk chair was falling apart and unsafe to sit in; TV remote did not work and was replaced by one held together with tape; Room entry light not working; Bathroom mirror dirty and paint smeared on it; Pillows lumpy; cigarette hole burned in the blanket; Bedside lamps falling apart; Towel bar in bathroom... more

We spent one night in the Comfort Inn in Barstow. The stay was ok, the room large and reasonably clean. No major issues, no highlights either. Breakfast was good for a the standard continental-type and the high-speed internet worked well. The children loved the fairly large pool. We would probably stay there again. more
