Econo Lodge On Historic Route 66

This place is a dump. I don’t know what the thread count on those sheet were, but they felt like straight sandpaper. The walls were very thin — could hear the kid next door screaming and crying for a half hour at 2:30 in the morning.
Never. Again.

I’m giving 3 for the lodge itself and the rooms. And 5 for the owner or manager there. That guy is amazing. My tire went flat after we checked out and it was alright if he didn’t help me, but this guy even came with me to the nearby car repair center and made sure the mechanic is fixing my car. Very helpful guy! Now this happened a couple of years back, I guess in 2012, so I’m not sure if that guy is still there. :)

The owners were extremely generous to us. We accidentally booked our room for the incorrect date. When we arrived, we were told it was not a problem and nothing extra would be charged.
The room has a simple kitchenette, HBO, wi-​fi, and air conditioning. At this price point, what else do you want?
Thank you very much!!!

We stopped and spent the night here on our way from LA to Vegas! It was a great halfway point between the two cities! Very old fashioned hotel when it comes to décor and fixtures. Perfectly fine for a one night ordeal although I wish they served hot breakfast and not just breads and pastries!

Great little motel. Friendly owners. Clean. Can’t beat it especially for the price. A throwback to when you could get a basic room and not break the bank!

Clean room (s). Small refrigerator, small microwave, flat screen TV (32″?). Plenty of parking. Friendly proprietor and staff. No bugs seen. Water very hot. Bed was very comfortable. Four restaurants within one block. Vons next door. Coin-​op washing machine and drier. Pool looked clean (saw maintenance guy treating and cleaning pool). Direct TV. All budget hotels offer budget breakfasts, no surprise there! Only two small tables in lobby for breakfast, but you can take your breakfast to pool and have breakfast «al fresco,» or back to your room. Great price. Absolutely no problems/​complaints. Great value.

Nice hotel, great service. Clean rooms. Big bathroom. Great place to stop on our way through barstow.

Ok, so we pulled in late last night, and knowing the location, price and brand, we weren’t expecting much. You will be glad to know that since we didn’t set the bar too high, I was still able to give this place a one. Beds were hard, pillows were harder. Shower was dirty, and someone’s leftover soap was still in there. Plus: manager in site was very nice. «Breakfast» was a selection of Costco mini pastries and individual cereal servings. We paid for Starbucks instead. There are a lot of choices: splurge a little people and get a good nights rest somewhere else.

Decent rooms, sub-​par beds, and unfortunately for us, a bug in one of the Queen beds!!! It doesn’t make you the most comfortable sleeping at night. Also being on the first floor, you hear everyone above you. Squeaky floorboard sounds, from people just walking around :/
Here are the pro’s to the room. Direct TV, a nice sized fridge, microwave, and a small flat screen…
Woken up by the staff working and talking this morning. Horrible place to stay the night!

I picked the Econo Lodge mainly because I’d earn 600 airline points by staying there. Unfortunately it took five months to get them credited to me. Why the delay?
Barstow has a ton of hotels. Next time I’ll stay elsewhere.

You should stay away. I was trying to take a shower and the water was ice cold. I talked to the front desk man with a thick accent. He told me the pipes need to run for a while. I turned the handle both ways and let it ran for at least five minutes. It never got warm! Also, I was going to plug in my laptop. There are no outlets near the desk or the other table in between the bathroom and the closet. I actually had to unplug the lamp to plug in my laptop. Where are the maids? I think rooms are cleaned only once every several days. I checked out and no sign of any! Breakfast is very cheap – just cereal and bread. My advice: stay somewhere else.

Nice place is a dusty desert town. Friendly & helpful manager!

I found this Econo Lodge on Trip Advisor and rarely has TA steered me in the wrong direction. It didn’t this time either.
The rooms were spotless, with clean sheets, soft towels, a microwave and sizable mini-​fridge. The hot water was a little slow to come in the shower, but when it came it was hot and there was plenty of it. The pool was clean and a good temperature. The air conditioner worked (thank goodness — it was 103 degrees at night). The parking lot was big enough for the truck and jet skis, with an entrance and exit for easy pull through. The neighborhood is a little sketchy, but just make sure to lock your car and don’t walk alone at night.
The nice Indian couple who runs the hotel was very accommodating, looking up my Choice number so I could get credit for my stay and giving us free toothpaste and nice smelling lotion.
The room was very reasonable at $ 49.99 for two queen beds. Bargain for a decent one night stay!
TIP: There are lots of restaurants close by and a drive-​thru Starbucks just up the street.

Stayed there while I was in Barstow on business (I know, lucky me).
Anyway, it was well priced and clean. The owners were very nice people and I would stay there again. It was next door to a Von’s and my room had a microwave and refrigerator, which was very convenient. Also a Little Caesar’s across the street. Some other restaurants but I just ate pizza once and used the grocery store the rest of the time.
The hotel is extremely close to the 15 which is helpful as well.
All in all, it was good for a budget hotel with nice management.

You get what you pay for is all I have to say. There are tons of motels/​hotels in this area and priceline got me in here.
As soon as you enter the room, try not to mind the smell. It will eventually calm your nose hairs. The walls are greyish instead of white. Couple holes in the wall. Bathroom does not look too sanitary and the carpet magically gets wet and damp out of the random blue.
Also there aren’t many electrical sockets. I wanted to have a party in the hotel with the new local friends I met and I only found 1 set on the side of the wall and another set behind the television which powered the tv, microwave, lamp and fridge.
Another thing is the lighting, there is a huge walk in closet but you can not see anything in there! No light switch nor a bulb in the socket!
At least the AC and heater works unlike some 3 star Vegas hotels
