We booked the room for 4 people with two queen beds, but there weren’t 4 towels in the bathroom or 4 water bottles in the fridge. Other than that, everything was good.

Little Hotel with Big Hotel dreams
This is a great little hotel. I can only compare to other budget hotels and this one offers so much the others don't. It's clean, nicely decorated and had lots of space. I had 2 regular chairs and a desk with another chair They have an ice machine which i rarely see. I can't remember a time a Hotel had complementary toothbrush and toothpaste. So many nice little touches. The breakfast is also very nice with plenty of seating. The hotel i was at the previous night (similar price) didnt have a hair dryer and breakfast was pastry and 2 cereal choices. Here its waffles, eggs, sausage, 4 cereal choices. Oj, apple and cranberry juice. Toast, bagel, coffee and milk. The only thing that didnt work for me... but could be great for some. The bed is very springy. So it has no give. For people who like a very supportive bed... this is it. I like a bit softer. The pillows are a bit flat. I actually dont mind that, but if you like plump, bring your own. Overall this is a great place. Been here before and i will be back next time i pass through Barstow.

I recently stayed at the California Inn in Barstow, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, which I appreciated right from the start. There was plenty of parking available, making it convenient for our arrival. The hostess greeted us promptly, setting a positive tone for our stay. I had a good night's sleep in a comfortable room, which was exactly what I needed. One of the highlights was the breakfast; it was excellent! I enjoyed having the option of an omelette, along with sausage and country potatoes. It was a great way to start the day. I truly enjoyed my stay and would look forward to returning in the future.

I had a large cooler that I needed to bring into my room. Room was on the 2nd floor of one of the larger buildings on the NORTH side. I couldn't find an elevator anywhere so I had to carry it upstairs to get it to my room. Not a problem or complaint for me, just want to warn folks who need accessibility that this might not be the right property for them, or to at least try notifying the staff on the front end that they need a room that easily accessible.
