We had a reservation for 3 double beds and the entire motel doesnt have it. We went and told front desk and they offered us another fold out bed that wouldnt fit unless you rearrangethe entire room. False advertising big time!! Other cons: bathroom door doesnt close, must be swollen from moisture. Light is on a sensor and turns off randomly. Dead bolt is broken. Pool is empty. Room smells stale. Will never return to this place again. FALSE ADVERTISING! How expedia allowed this I have no idea!

I paid for a "triple room" which was advertised as a room with 3 double beds in it. What I got was a regular room with two beds, and they brought in a rolling twin cot and shoved it in the corner. All the other hotels on our trip were described similarly, but had dedicated beds like you would expect. The room was old and falling apart. It wasn't particularly clean. We got in late and left early, but the pool was dry and empty, (closed for the winter, maybe?) It was a crummy part of town, with just a walkup window made of bulletproof glass for the night shift. The bathroom was absolute garbage. The window lock was broken and a wedged in stick held it closed. It was cheaper than the competition, but the rating on this hotel is falsely high for what it is.

Stay at Economy Inn
This place has bad management along with the other complaints i expressed above. I stayed here before and the manager did not knock on the door or call. He just rudely opened the door with his key and entered my room twice. This trip the first thing was it advertises that it is pet friendly. When i arrived i came by police becsuse i had just been discharged from hospital. The staff there did not offer any assistance and put me in a room far away. They collected $10 cash for the dog. The following morning i extended my stay. The manager knocked and said its the manager open the door. I did and he gave me a blanket that i dropped the night before when checking in. He then said rudely, you owe me 10 for the dog. He only came to get the ten dollars cash. Why did he not give me the blanket i dropped when i dropped it the night before. I noticed that they did not want me to use Hotels.com to book when i called. I believe that the managers in these hotels in Barstow are thieves. They only want cash. I noticed him put the ten dollars in his pocket. Also he knew i was feeling bad and in all the empty rooms at that time he put some with noisy kids right on top of me and i got no rest all. When i called to complain about the noise he told me that he was going to change my room. Not because of the noise but because i was in a room that had 2 beds. I wanted to not be disturbed and i got no rest at all. These managers on Main Street are all crooks. They are extremely rude. Not ok

I booked a room online through Expedia with no problem and paid my money upfront thinking I would just get there and check in. The owner made up an excuse that he had no rooms available accusing me of coming there 15 minutes before I did and he supposively had already told me he had no vacancies. There was no way possible seeing how I just left the dentist. I did the right thing and booked all guest that we're staying in the room. He looked in the car and decided he didn't want us staying in his room for whatever reason. I've booked a room in the past with this same property and I remember how upset he got that I booked a room. It's a thing with these properties now and the locals booking rooms due to them not being able to over price us and put us in the most disgusting, unsafe, and dirty dirty rooms. We all should be treated fairly. It doesn't state that we can't book rooms due to us being locals. Only word I come up with is Discrimination..Treating people unfairly.

The motel attendant(owner) was friendly and responded promptly when our electronic key didn't work. Unfortunately our key didn't work most of the time. Our room was clean and serviceable enough as we were just passing through only needed a place to sleep one night. But the condition of the motel in general gave the impression that was closing down.

The owners are perverted. Make you uncomfortable.
They are as rude as hell. The management person opened my door without knocking. I asked him not to do this, but he did it again. I know full well when it is time to check out and he needs to knock on the door before just using his key to barge in like that. Did not matter he did it again at 11:10. I was furious.

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It smelled like an uncleaned portapotty on a hot day. The room was filthy, the tv remote did not work. I asked for assistance to repair and they never came. The A/C didn’t work. Service was the worst. I give it a -5 stars if I could.

Room isn't finished, motel is fine.
My family and I had been camping in the desert and decided to seek shelter from the extreme wind and cold which had descended. The place was reasonably priced and offered 3 twin beds which would have worked for the 5 of us. Upon check-in, the gentleman in the office informed me that there were actually 2 queen beds and a trundle bed, which was fine. When we got to the room, the trundle bed was not there so I had to go back down to the office (there was no phone in the room) to inform them of the problem. They said they would send a trundle bed to the room while I picked up food and supplies. When I got back to the room my family informed me that both the shower and tv weren't working. As I said earlier, we were seeking shelter in the room from the brutal winds, cold, and occasional rain which had been exhausting us so I was in no mood to go back down and inform them that they had a non-functioning room that they probably shouldn't have been renting out. With that said, the room was fine but had exposed cabling running across from a recent renovation project (the gentleman at the office had warned me of this), the heater worked fine and the blackout curtains helped us sleep in a little, the location is nothing to write home about between a car wash, a vacant lot overlooking railroad tracks, an abandoned restaurant, another motel, and a Denny's. It's a mixed bag but your options are limited in Barstow, if everything worked I would put this in the top echelon of Barstow motels.

Racistor sexist hotel manager & owner
Manager was rude disrespectful and i believe he was either racist or sexist my kids and i were traveling back to nevada and it was late at night so we decided to rent a room to rest the reservation was made thru hotels.com 1 to 2 in advance my card was charged for the rooms with no problems i pulled into the motel which clearly had a open sign on with all office signs i rang the bell and a man came to the window(looked as if he was just woken up and could barely open his eyes) i told him i would like to check in at first he stated for how many then i stated i already booked a hotel. Then he looked at my children and my self back and fourth about 3 times then stated were closed no bookings while there where clearly cars in the parking lot and people coming in and out of rooms. I was exhausted i didnot want to take the chance of continueing to drive so me and my children were sitting in our car in search of another room. I ended up getting charged for 2 rooms i have disputed this charge with hotels .com and was told my money would be refunded in 7-8 days today is day 4 and no refund AND IM BEING ASKED TO LEAVE A REVIEW FOR A HOTEL I NEVER STOOD AT. It clearly states on hotels.com before u make the booking non refundable if a I/customer cancels the booking but how is it ok for the hotel to cancel with no consiquence and how is it ok for hotels.com or whoever to take my money within seconds but it takes 7-8 days to refund something when they or there partners cancel?!
