We didn't know it was a residential motel. The clerk, a nice little elderly lady had to unlock the door from the outside to let us in. The water didn't work when we arrived but was later corrected. A stranger just opened our door while we were settling in. The TV remote didn't work and then we saw a roach. It was hard to sleep due to all the characters walking around and in and out of rooms all night.

I will never stay here again. This place was filthy!!!! The TV didn't work. Half of the outlets and lights worked. There were gang bangers and drug dealers everywhere.I had to leave early because I just couldn't take it. I would have gladly kept my money and slept in my car if I would have known that's where I was going to stay.

I’ve stayed in numerous run down hotels in my life but, they were at least CLEAN. This place is filthy!!!!!! The room reeked!! The carpet was stained with what I don’t want to know!! It’s probably the reason the room reeks so badly. There was no towels, no soap or shampoo and no tv remote!!! The local dregs of society were yelling at each other until after midnight! If you’re looking for a quiet, clean and peaceful sleep/stay, this isn’t it!!!!! If you’re on an extremely tight budget then this place might do. Make sure to wear socks AND slippers!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of the Above is what I really really really don't like. Please don't get me wrong when I first came to Barstow my husband and I had to stay at the desert inn motel in Barstow California and the services we received at first was alright. It wasn't how it should've been. My husband and I had to stay at the desert inn motel for bout a week because our new place wasn't ready for us to move in quite yet. So long story short in other words the desert inn motel now as I see it is nasty, the majority of the rooms that are being renting have heavy infestation of roaches and bedbugs. If I had chance to stay there again, I probably wouldn't due to the fact that I don't live like that and it is very very very detrimental to my health and wellness and wellbeing. Oh and did I forget to mention the black mold and mildew that was in the majority of the rooms, I'll just continue on and end this review with these last words and say it's a true money saver when you're on a tight budget but just know that I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay at the desert inn motel if my life depended on it..

I was more than apprehensive about staying here as the parking lot was full of, what looked to me, rough looking juveniles (maybe older). The woman at the front desk was very helpful and assured me that it was safe. I was afraid that Expedia would not refund my prepaid rent, so I stayed. If I were Expedia, I would do a site survey some evening after nine. You may choose to eliminate this property. The accommodations were "spartan" at best.
