    Lobby

    Stopped by on our way back from Sedona. Room is cleaned. Checked in process expedient. Rooms were very clean. Decent breakfast with fresh fruit, waffle (make your own) cereal, eggs, sausage.

    I am usually a fan of Holiday inns and have stayed at this property before. But after our last stay (Jan 2025), I will not stay at this location again. This property is not clean. It's borderline gross. The elevator carpets are super dirty which set the tone before we went to our room.The hallway ice machine was not working. The room carpets had white milk stain and the desk chair also has the same white residue. It looked like something the housekeeping could have just rubbed off cleaned. The bath had mold on the caulking and the shower had so much build up that water pressure was low. At breakfast time, the pancake maker was not working. Seems like many things in this hotel were "out of order" at this point. Overall this is a reflection of the property manager and overall maintenance of the property. With my last experience, the property manager does not care or is too cheap. In Barstow, near this property, there are so many other hotel options that are better. We have stayed at home 2 and Fairfield inn and they are all better. I would also look into Hampton inn next door.

    We are members of Holiday Inn . We are normally very happy. At the Holiday Inn. But this place falls very short of what I expect. The hot tub was filthy and slimy. The pool was ice cold. No pool towels. The bottle water was 5$. Our room has two phones neither work. The room was clean. Mattresses not great.

    Stained couch

    HIE is know for it's quality and service and I've stayed at dozens of HIE's. This is by far the worst one that I've ever stayed in. Just to list a few things... I checked into room 139 and for four nights, my TV was not working. I spoke with the front desk twice and they would put me on the maintenance list but it was never addressed. I was eventually moved to room 140. The couch in room 139 had several stains on it and there was a greasy hand print on the mirror in the entryway when I arrived. Room 140 also had stains on the couch. During my stay in room 140, I found a dead cockroach in the bathroom. I could have easily tossed it in the garbage but as a test, I spoke with the front desk to have it removed. Three mornings in a row, I asked the front desk to have someone remove the roach removed and they would write it down but it wasn't picked up until the third day. Housekeeping did change my towels and empty my garbage every day but did no other cleaning nor pick up the dead roach. One day, housekeeping changed my towels and emptied my garbage, a task that probably takes ten minutes but they turned the air conditioning on high and left it on. When I came back to my room at the end of the day, it was freezing in there. Did they really need to turn the air on for such a short time in the room? The woman who runs the breakfast bar should be fired. HIE is known for their cinnamon rolls and sometimes they were out at 6am, 630, or after 645. I would leave for work at 645 and 75% of the time, there weren't any rolls out by the time I left. It was extremely inconsistent. On two occasions, I found her chatting with the front desk person when there were empty coffee urns. Or, she would go on a break around 6-615am and there would be empty coffee urns. While eating my breakfast one morning, I counted five guests looking for coffee when there wasn't any and she was nowhere to be found. Other times, there were empty warming trays and again, she was nowhere to be found. Just about every other day, the door at the back of the building would not open. My coworkers and myself had gear that had to be carried all the way to the front of the building which made it quite annoying. On a positive note, the front desk workers were extremely professional and polite. There was a shorter man with a goatee that came to look at my TV one night and was not able to fix it. He did his job well. If I weren't staying here for work, I wouldn't stay here again.

    The Holiday Inn Express at Barstow is conveniently located next to outlet shopping on the edge of the Mojave Desert. The hotel offers a modern and clean rest stop at reasonable rates. Breakfast and parking are complimentary. EV charging is available. The staff were pleasant and helpful. A safe and quality place to stay when traveling in the Barstow area.

    Terrible service. For the Tesla supercharger they will not allow you to use there bathroom in the lobby. We usually stay at Holiday Inns due to being close or next to chargers, however we have never been told the bathroom is for guests only. I will be using other companies from now on.

    No hot water

    The front desk agent was rude. At breakfast the pancake machine was out of order, no hot water for tea and the juice machine was out of all juices. In the room the shower head was brocken.

    We stopped to sleep after a long day of traveling. The guy at the front desk was nice and even asked which floor we preferred. The room was clean and much larger than I expected. The mattresses were kind of thin and I could hear the springs. Still decently comfy. Breakfast was pretty good for a hotel. Eggs with cheese, turkey sausage, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, cereal, chocolate milk, almond milk, muffins, and fruit. Everyone was friendly. Would stay again if in the area.

    Dirty air con filter. Needs to be changed.
    Michael M.

    Where to start? I will just list the issues: 1. At checkin (I am a Platinum Member) that asked me to manually fill in a form with details that are on my profile. Items like email, phone number, etc. I said "no...you already have all that." 2. The small kitchen sink backed up and had something rising up that looked like portions of tea leaves. 3. The filter for the air conditioning vent is filthy and quite unhealthy. 4. When we opened the extra blanket for our son to use in the couch an empty can of hard cider was in the pouch. I have appended pictures of the above. The king suite was definitely not worth what we paid for it.

    Very Disappointing Experience at Hampton Inn Barstow I…read morerarely write a review like this, but our experience at the Hampton Inn in Barstow has been extremely disappointing. Our Night Guardians animal rescue team is temporarily staying here because our sanctuary was flooded and repairs will take several days. We have stayed at Hampton Inn locations in Santa Clarita and Arcadia during rescue missions and events and have generally been treated with courtesy and respect. Unfortunately, our experience here has been very different. During our stay, the elevator was not working. Walking the stairs was not a major issue for our team, but we saw senior guests struggling. One older gentleman with a suitcase was having difficulty using the stairs, and that was upsetting to see. A hotel should have a clear plan for assisting guests when an elevator is unavailable, particularly elderly guests and people with mobility limitations. We also experienced coffee being served cold or only lukewarm, and, most importantly, customer service that did not make us feel welcomed or properly cared for when concerns were raised. We don't expect special treatment because we are Night Guardians. We expect the same basic courtesy, assistance, and hospitality that every paying guest deserves. We know Hampton Inn can do much better because we have experienced much better service at other Hampton Inn locations. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues, especially how guests who cannot easily use the stairs are assisted when an elevator is out of service. Hospitality is not just providing a room. It is how you take care of people when something goes wrong Sung Kim Founder Petscentralorg Dogs Lives Matter Night Guardians

    Five Stars - Exceptional Value and Comfort…read more I had an excellent stay at the Best Western Desert Villa Hotel. The location alone is a huge plus--right near pizza delivery, Starbucks, McDonald's, and other convenient food options. The rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable, which made resting after a long drive really easy. A quick heads-up: the TV volume seems capped at about 1/4, so you won't get a cinematic surround-sound experience--but on the bright side, you also can't hear anyone else's TV, so it keeps the whole place peaceful. The morning breakfast room is outstanding. The service is nonstop, and the food is genuinely impressive. The taste and temperature of everything were spot-on--fresh, hot, and clearly prepared with care. That makes a huge difference in how healthy and enjoyable the breakfast feels. Add in clean bathrooms and a helpful, friendly staff, and you've got a hotel that really understands its guests. The whole experience feels thought-out and well-executed, giving travelers the biggest bang for their buck. Highly recommended--I'll definitely stay here again.

    Terrible Management, Poor Service -- Think Twice Before Booking Here…read more I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this hotel, which is connected to the restaurant Los Domingos. I went to order food at the restaurant and was not served what I ordered. I was told the issue would be resolved, but instead, I was met with a string of lies and unprofessionalism. A woman named Jessica told me she was the manager, only for me to find out later that she's not a manager at all. Then someone named Matt, who claimed to be the actual manager, told me that "accidents happen" and dismissed my concerns without offering any real solution. I called the hotel itself to raise my concerns -- and things got even worse. I was informed that there are no managers on site. The supposed manager was "out of town" until Monday... but today is Wednesday, and now they're telling me he won't be back for another seven days. So the hotel is basically running with no leadership or accountability. Neither the restaurant nor the hotel management teams are capable of handling issues. If you ever have a problem here, there is no one in charge to talk to, and you'll be left frustrated and ignored. To top it all off: * The food at the restaurant is extremely salty and low quality. * The facilities are dirty, outdated, and poorly maintained. Save yourself the stress and disappointment. This place is a mess from top to bottom, and if anything goes wrong during your stay, don't expect anyone to care enough to fix it.
