Can’t beat the price
Great pit stop to just sleep, shower, have a quick breakfast and get back on the road. The price was awesome for just a nights stay and the free breakfast was perfect to eat before heading on the road. We would definitely stay there again on a road trip

Great place to sleep while passing through Barstow
This is not a luxury hotel, but it’s clean, quiet and might be the best value in California. It’s a 5/5 at that price. Breakfast was better than usual for a continental too.

The hotel was so cute! They have kept this hotel up and I loved that they kept some of the cute details like the do not disturb switch. The pool was nice and clean. Our room was very clean. Service was fantastic. Breakfast was great, lots of options. I will say bed was a little firm for my liking, but that’s just personal choice.

Overnight
This was an overnight stay while traveling. It is an older hotel but the room was clean and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was available. If we had a complaint there were plumbing noises coming from other rooms. This was certainly a reasonable hotel for a short term visit

We really liked the natural grass around, which was great for our dog. We also liked how there was a locked gate at night.

This was an older property, but it had been upgraded really nicely. The mattress was a little soft for our liking, and it only had three small pillows, also the railway lone is close by so about every 4 hours or so it sounds like a freight train is coming through the door. Honestly we would never stay in this City again but it has nothing to do with the hotel

We loved over night stay at the California Inn. It is perfectly located right off the freeway. The room was charming and spotless, even with a bathtub! The breakfast was varied and plentiful. Would definitely stay again!

Good value
The only reason I didn’t give 5 star is because the breakfast, at 7:30 am, was dried out and coffee ran out. Other than that it was a clean, safe place to stay

Bags under my eyes
Pros- room was clean, breakfast was good, bathroom was clean. Front desk friendly.
Cons-TV didn’t work, blow dryer didn’t work, beds were very old and very squeaky, uncomfortable, pillows were lumpy. Neighborhood was sketchy. Property was unkept.
