Star Inn on Route 66, Barstow

The room was clean and had clean towels. It needed Outlets fixed and plumbing fixed also the door had gaps around that let the cold air come in.

It was just ok. Amenities are bad, no ice machine, wi-fi is bad

Look Out for Your Card I literally only booked this motel because the pictures showed carpet in the room. I know, crazy, but I like what I like. It made me mad that I booked two rooms and one had carpet and looked like the pictures, while the other had vinyl floors and was crappy in every way, even had a different bed. So I got the crappy room, even though I paid for both while my guest enjoyed what felt like a room in a different motel. A still crappy motel, just less crappy. Think- light fixtures with no bulbs with mismatched shades and the "art" over the bed hung upside down. Too funny. I support small motels. But I'll never return here and let me tell you why- the proprieter of this motel took a picture of my debit card, front and back, with his tablet. I've lived in motels off and on over the last decade, and this is so abnormal I've never had another do it. He asked me for a cash deposit, which was news to me, and when I said, can you put it on my card or direct me to an ATM, he took a picture of my card instead. Bro, in case you aren't aware, that's not quite cool. I sure hope you deleted it, but thanks for putting my debit card image out there to potentially be exposed. Also, you're rude! Customers are doing YOU a favor, not the other way around. You aren't granting your precious permission to stay. You should be grateful for anyone willing to stay in your 80 year old sunbaked below average motel literally in the middle of nowhere. The original owners would cry.

Very good reception, reasonable pricing. Nothing to talk about, except that for a motel in mid of a desert, you did a good job. The only thing is, you need to fix that ICE MACHINE to accommodate your guests. Other than that, you did well.

Overnight in Barstow This is a Motel in a row of other motels in this area. The only good thing I can say: the best shower I had in my trip!!! The beds are confortable and the room is decently spaced. The area around did not give a safe feeling. Food option around are small. I went to the Denny's. The hotel might look to be far from the train line - but I could hear the train going at night time.

It is always peaceful but they do not like you to have company.
