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

Cream Puffs

We will definitely be back. In fact, I just made a reservation for next week. Clean room, good service, great breakfast especially the cream puffs. My husband said it was the best shower he’s ever taken in a hotel.

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.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Crystal, 1-night trip

Although the hotel is older, the rooms are clean, spacious, and quiet. The beds are comfortable. We'd stay there again.

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
Wesley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice room especially for the price.
Jim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We really liked the natural grass around, which was great for our dog. We also liked how there was a locked gate at night.
Susan, 1-night trip

Perfect

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!
Kelly, 1-night trip

I will stay again
Tisha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible free breakfast! Clean and comfy rooms. Even a good-sized upholstered chair to snuggle up in with a book. We enjoyed our stay!
Daren, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Sandi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay on our way to beach
James C., 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Gregory, 1-night trip
