Sleep Inn On Historic Route 66

Clean, fresh, friendly staff, comfortable accommodations, refreshing pool, and hearty breakfast. A welcome oasis ! Thanks Midas Auto Repair for doing necessary repairs on an emergency situation requiring an overnight stay in Barstow and recommending this modern motel –and thanks Sleep-​Inn for a helpful 10% discount too!

Great breakfast. Comfortable bed, clean sheets. Flies in the room.

Another one night stay, booked directly instead of using Hotwire, based on prior good experience.
–reducing to 2 stars because of frequent loud squealing noise from adjacent freight yard day and night. I didn’t notice this last time.
–shower slippery with no mat
–breakfast cereal very hard to dispense, apparently a known problem.
–lots of conditions on registration form not generally seen elsewhere (I travel a lot), including an added deposit, which seems to have been refunded ok.
–inexpensive guest laundry
–no elevator, which wasn’t an issue for me, but wanted to mention it.

There are 2 types of hotel rooms in Barstow… those that cost $ 50 and those that cost $ 100. This hotel is one that costs $ 50ish yet is just as nice as the ones that cost $ 100. The customer service was top-​notch, rooms are clean/​comfortable and the breakfast was so delicious. I will stay here every time I’m looking for a room in Barstow. The man with white hair at check-​in was adorable!!!

We stayed at this hotel on our way to Vegas and this hotel is very nice and clean! The beds in the trim we got were like full size but very nice. I was actually surprised because Normally this little places are not so nice. But it was good to stay here

Gross Gross Gross!!! Wait, let me rephrase that, GROSS GROSS GROSS!!!
We stayed here once earlier this year by a bit of bad luck from Priceline’s bidding into blindness. We stayed here a second time by the same mistake, and it was only because there’s no way in hell that this can be considered a 3 star hotel, so I was sure we wouldn’t get the same crap again.
The room is absolutely disgusting. It smells terrible. The carpet is stained. The bathroom is that of a 1970s motor home. I chose to forgo the shower because it was cracked, dirty, and just unacceptable.
If — both times — we weren’t passing through late at night and super tired, in need of a few hours of shut eye in a fairly safe place, this disaster of a stop wouldn’t have happened.
A/​C unit was super dusty. Had to wipe it down before turning it on.
Bed is sooo uncomfortable that I kept waking up every 15 minutes. Slept on top of the (thankfully) white comforter. Quickly threw down the dirty ‘accent’ tapestry onto the floor. Wore my shoes every time I got up from the bed, even when getting dressed. Even though it was right outside, the trains braking didn’t bother me too much. Might’ve been my 2 year old’s favorite part of staying there, actually.
Well, they do have breakfast. Supposedly. For someone. There’s no way that the food is prepared safely, even though it’s just microwaved garbage from the 99 Cent Store. And the only thing semi-​edible is the cheap, shitty yogurt. Coffee is entirely undrinkable, even with the ‘selection’ available.
The staff seems to be aware of the problems but don’t do anything to fix them. Complaining didn’t help.
Plus? TV is a flat screen, which means that it’s less than 10 years old. Channels are decent. There are outlets to charge a phone and a laptop.
The only reason this hotel survives is because they depend on people using hotel room bidding sites while on a roadtrip with nowhere else to stay and so tired that they don’t have the energy to even say anything about it. ‚
Still not sure how this hotel feels it categorizes as a 3 star. Maybe for Barstow. And that’s only a maybe.

I’ve nothing but good to say about our stay at this Sleep Inn. Our room was great, there was a decent hot breakfast, and the guy working the front desk in the morning was notably friendly. Would definitely stay there again.

I loved this hotel small but it felt very cozy and the A/​C on blast was amazing! I read some reviews about this place and i read one about the noises i did hear them i think its a plumbing problem but slept thru them real good. The complimentary breakfast did the job to feed two kids from cereal to yogurt and sausage bagels and eggs

Felt insulted at check-​in by their policy of pre-​charging a $ 25 «damage deposit» (not on final bill), which we hadn’t seen at any of the dozens of hotels/​motels/​resorts we’ve stayed in over the last few years.
Outside temperature was 104 degrees, and we got to our room to find the A/​C switched completely OFF, so the room was nearly 90 degrees. Keeping the A/​C running full time and the bathroom vent fan on made it bearable by bedtime, but the room was never comfortable. Told the girl at the desk the next morning, but she just made excuses and implied we just hadn’t run it right.
The only star is for the lady attending the breakfast bar. When I found the ice machine on our floor EMPTY, she went upstairs and filled bags with ice for us.
This was our first and LAST time staying at a Sleep Inn.

Did a Priceline bid to get this hotel and had high hopes that it would live up to expectations based on the small number of Unilocal reviews. I was very disappointed.
The Good: one lady on the counterstaff was perky and friendly, and did her best to give decent service. although even then we rented two rooms and they couldn’t figure that out from the reservation system, only giving us one at first. The rooms looked like they had new amenities, including flat-​screen TVs.
The Bad: The rooms are in fact quite small, smaller than you’d expect in a Motel ⁶⁄₈ type place (I’ve had rooms in Japan that were bigger than this one). The hotel is close to the Barstow rail yards so there are very, very strange screeching nosies going on late at night, not really great for your sleep quality. The coffee in the lobby seemed watered down somehow. Also, this isn’t really a critique of the hotel but downtown Barstow has nothing open past 12AM besides a ratty Mexican place and Dennys.
The Ugly: Cockroaches appeared across from our hotel room, nice big ones. We did complain to the counter staff but were told «Okay. Tell it to the morning staff.» Sorry wrong answer, and there was no attempt to clean the area further. After seeing that we were very reluctant to use the shower or sleep without three layers of clothes on. We got out of there as soon as we could the following morning.
I’d not do the Priceline deal again in Barstow, and probably would stay in Hesperia to avoid the train noises. Move along, folks.

A is for Apples which I get for free
B is for Bibi, the hotel Manager who is awesome
C is for Clean, because my room was impacable
D is for Drinks, which were also free
E is for…
OK, let’s be honest I’m not going to make it thought the alphabet.
Things you should know;
— Bibi the manager is awesome
— I’ve never been in a hotel that smells so fresh
— Free Breakfast!
— Triple pane sound proof windows
— Fluffy, non hotel style beds
— I can’t tell you anything about the guy, I was too busy laying in bed with the AC on

Great all around stay, the hotel was a lot clean & gives off a professional look upon arrival. The staff was great and made sure that my stay was very comfortable. Breakfast has more to offer than most hotels with a wide range of foods and snacks. Overall steal for the price I paid, they had a pool, gym, and everything you could need is in walking distance.
