Motel 6 Barstow, CA - Route 66 - Barstow, California

This is an excellent place to stay if you're looking to get swindled.

My 77-year-old mother stopped in and asked for the advertised price. They doubled it and claimed that their credit card machine was down, required her to pay cash. As tired as she was, my mother didn't pick up on the red flags, paid, and left for her room. Upon leaving the office, she saw several police cars had pulled into the parking lot, all lit up. She asked them if it was a dangerous place for her to stay and they advised her yes, lots of drug deals & other crime. My mother went back to the front desk, had not even peeked in the hotel room, and they refused the refund of her cash. We'll be pursuing actions to discourage their maltreatment of other senior citizen customers in this way.

The lack of compassion and common sense is unsettling and sad. Mom keeps blaming herself for not catching the red flags but what kind of heartless fraud would take advantage of her like that?

The room smelled like cigarettes so strong that it stuck to my clothes. Water heater was not working so couldn’t shower. They also charge more than what I had originally booked for because I paid in cash. Total rip off honestly but at least there was a clean bed lol it wasn’t…

Stayed here on October 10th, 2024. Rooms are outdated, paint is chipping off the walls/half painted, water flow in sinks are terrible, dirty rooms, crackheads around premises. Was an overdose or some sorts in a few rooms close by. Rooms also reeked of cigarettes whether if it was smoking or non-smoking. The front desk has a sign if no refunds.

The rooms need to be cleaned better. And th property needs maintenance. Theyre working on fixing it, diy style lol. It's a work in progress but at least there's no deposit required. The people there will work with you instead of just kicking you out when you're late paying for another day, and that's pretty cool.

Paid for two nights to spend with my little boy over the weekend, and was given a room, with dirty walls, moldy baseboards, and a very unkept floor. The blanket had burn holes in it, and the restroom had no toilet paper and only stained towels. Pillow case had someone's makeup and hair on it, like the bedding hadn't been changed. Then I discovered it also had no glass in the bathroom window. The office gave me toilet paper, and a couple clean towels, and clean bedding. But they refused to change my room, instead insisted that I simply "keep the bathroom door closed" to keep the cold air out of my room. When I complained further, I was given an extra blanket, and a very stained towel to put over the broken window. They wouldn't refund my money, and I wasn't in the financial position to pay for a room somewhere else to begin with. I had to clean that room myself, and put cardboard and a pillow in the window behind the towel, just to keep the cold wind from coming in. I posted a picture of the Bath tub, after trying to rinse all dirt and dust from the broken bathroom window above it, since they wouldn't change my room. The dirty water wouldn't drain into clogged drain.... which is a problem in all the rooms I've been in at this property, and probably the reason it stinks like sewage by the office. I've noticed that they don't actually changed the bedding in these rooms, I've seen the manger remake a bed without changing sheets, and this is the reason they don't hire maids here. Nobody wants to be associated with such filthy rooms, because it's not right, and it's disgusting. I'll add more supporting photos to this review, very soon.

A dump. 107 degrees outside but the ice machine was broken.. Suspiciously looking people exchanged stuff through the fence(drugs?).The room floor was dirty, the bathroom more than questionable,the air conditioner sounded like a broke washing machine. The reviews on there website are terrible and obviously the lack of hygiene in the rooms exist at least a year according to when people posted. The department of health should be notified

Our room was not clean at all. The sheets and even “clean” towels appeared to have been already used and had stains. We didn’t feel comfortable enough to even shower. Thankfully, we had our own blankets to place on top of the bed to at least be able to sleep
