Didn’t even get to my room. Parking lot not well lit. People loitering and congregating in hallways. Left immediately, and found another hotel. They charged me anyway.

We stayed at the California Inn in Barstow, and honestly, it exceeded all expectations. Clean, quiet, and safe—which is all I really wanted—but it gave even more. The room was spacious, the bed was super comfortable, and the AC worked really well (a must in the desert heat). The staff was kind, check-in was easy, and it felt like they actually cared. You can tell they take pride in running a good place. It’s not fancy or flashy—it’s grounded, welcoming, and real. I travel a lot, and this is one of those rare spots that makes you feel settled, even if you're just passing through. Will definitely stay here again.

We won’t stay here again. Breakfast items all ran out and the desk clerk was desperately trying to get things done. There were no blankets on the bed and the air conditioning blasted cold air uncontrollably. We froze all night. If we turned it off we melted
