I needed a quick place to stay and after doing research I was curious of this place having great reviews for a low price. The owners of this place were greatly accommodating and wonderful with my demands when I needed a room change. Room was clean and had a cute elephant tied towels. Basic accommodations for shampoo, lotion, and bar soap included but again it's a low priced hotel so it's not going to have brand name fancy soaps. This isn't hilton prices. I would 100% come back here again. Oh and no elevator so if you are handicapped, you can't get the upstairs rooms. read more

A clean comfortable room for a very reasonable price. The owners were very accommodating! We arrived a little after 6 PM and had requested a ground floor room due to mobility issues. The only room available on the ground floor was an upgrade, so the owners upgraded it for us for free. Air-conditioning works very well, which is so important. Water pressure is nice, room is nicely updated, and you can't beat the price. Would stay here again. read more

This was such a nice experience on our Route 66 Trip. The room was comfortable and well supplied, the breakfast included made to order eggs, a rarity in most locations, and the owner and his wife could not be more accommodating and pleasant. For someone driving an electric vehicle, there are charging stations on site. Overall, a very nice stay. read more

+Staff very nice and friendly. +Breakfast was decent. -The room door appeared to have a gap at the bottom which let in dust & noise etc. weird imo. +Room was clean and adequate. +No carpet is always good. read more

Really nice and clean, has a great exercise room, which I liked best of all amenities it offered. Area is worrisome at night especially if you need to take your pet to relieve them, but has bright security lights so not too bad. Would of given a 5 star but had asked staff a question but instead of acknowledging the question they walked off, we waited for an answer but didn't come back, we got into the car and started backing out, staff was checking the room we checked out and pointed back to the lobby, but 10 minutes had already passed, oh well, we were already upset, but it wasn't bad, there was a donut shop down the road. read more

Our hosts could not have been friendlier. This place was clean, thoughtfully put together and affordable. Amenities were nice, beds extra comfortable, pillow choices and quality linens. I am impressed and will return when in the area. We were exhausted when we arrived so picture of room is after a restful nights sleep. read more

Very pleasantly surprised at value. Room was spacious and clean, bed was comfortable, good quality towels. A/C kept the room comfortable despite 100 degrees outside. Breakfast was very nice. The owner made waffles and fresh eggs for breakfast and set a table for us! Will head back here at the end of our road trip. read more

My car broke down and I followed recommendations to come to this hotel. They have been nothing but accommodating to me! They went out of their way for me to make sure I felt welcomed. I highly recommend this place. read more

Arrived at 9PM and got a nice clean room with a huge bed for a great price. Will stay here again.

We were efficiently and kindly checked in by a woman when we arrived around 8:45pm. The rooms are pleasantly cleaned and well supplied with towels and soaps. I walked down for the 6-9am breakfast and saw people cautiously walking about the buffet of bagels, refrigerated yogurt, waffle maker, hard boiled eggs and fruit. Not a single word of small talk but they give me side eye glances. A couple of teenagers glanced up at me with eerie silence. One teen makes eye contact with me. A warning? Then I hear what my eyes missed. Breaking the silence a grumpy voice speaks loudly across the room reminding a lady upon leaving that she needs to return her key card at the desk. Kindly she responds she will do that. The voice is eventually directed at me and being an adult i turn around and see an impressionable grumpy face, with a fist to his hip, his figure towering over the room like a commander in charge. He sizes me up from my sandaled toes, to my jacket, and up to my face with a scowl. In the same tone he used on the lady who exited he says "good morning. If you want eggs or waffles I will make them for you." Ha! No way. I took my tiny cup of coffee and slowly walked out. Once my husband wakes I will tell him we need to get out of here. Addendum: husband tells me it was only $80 for our one night stay. Kudos for keeping the place affordable! I upped my review by a star and will dismiss the morning scrutiny, laughing it off as a kitschy vacation moment. Come here for the cleanliness, brightly lit parking lot and the affordability but be forewarned that breakfast time is not a social event. With the location and type of business I can sympathize for the cause of scrutiny. read more

Super clean, comfy beds, warm hosts and everything you need for breakfast. Great find and would definitely stay here again.

Good, clean, budget accommodation for those passing through Barstow. Friendly and responsive management. Secure parking area. Improved breakfast options would make this an even better value. read more

I've been staying here several times a year for the last couple years and I'm so glad I discovered this place! The owners are lovely people and the breakfast are great. The rooms have always been clean and there are no shady characters on the grounds, if you know what I mean. I highly recommend this motel! read more

The hotel lot itself is very well lit which seems to keep the hotel lot safe in Barstow. Clean, affordable, very nice family oriented staff. I love the dogs in dresses in the lobby! Not bad for a night stop going through California. read more

Motel California Decent little motel in the middle-of-nowhere that's super affordable, which makes it hard to complain too much about it--but just watch me! The Good: *Very inexpensive as we were able to book a room thru booking.com for $81/night (that's w/ taxes and all applicable fees). *Currently serving breakfast 0600 - 0845 daily *DirectTV® w/ HD programming  *Recently remodeled rooms w/ USB ports built-into the nightstands. *Microwave & fridge in each room.  *Water pressure isn't great but at least it's hot.  The Meh: *32" HDTv which is a bit small for a room this size but the quality was nice.  *Internet speed is not great but didn't have any issues doing normal stuff (didn't stream any video) *Gym closed due to The 'Rona® *Pool closed due to The 'Rona® *Check-in service was a bit curt, but at least she was expeditious. The Ugly: *Bed and pillows could only be considered as such in the loosest definitions of their respective words.  *Coffee "machine" is a fucking joke--and they only had decaf?! I mean, why bother... -_- TLDR: OK place for a very reasonable price. read more

This place is an absolute dump, not worth the price. The tv didn't work, the phone didn't work, the fridge was left open before we arrived and also did not work. None of the USB ports worked, the lady at the office said the room had a privacy divider it did not. Towels looked dirty, bathroom looked grimy. And the wifi service sucks. The bedding felt nasty. Don't stay here. read more

The people running this are very nice. Unfortunately the location is questionable. Breakfast was pretty good, the eggs were real, not powdered!!! Although everything is highly monitored, we were afraid to do something wrong. The bathroom was by far my biggest issue. No hooks, no shelves. Where are guests supposed to put their things?? On the toilet seat or back of the toilet. Gross. We won't be returning to this hotel. read more

Check in was quick and simple. The lady at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, stocked and priced very well. It's a quiet environment. We will be back. Also, the front desk lady recommended Jenny's Grill to eat and the food was amazing as well as the service. read more

Room: 3, staff: 4, breakfast: 2 We stayed here based on Yelp reviews giving the Rodeway one of the highest hotel ratings in Barstow and the numerous comments about the great breakfast here, but didn't have an experience resembling these past reviews. The room was clean and pleasant and as expected for this chain of hotels, although it would be nice to have removable hangers, a coffee maker, and bathtub without red marker lines on the walls. The parking lot is very well lit and they have security cameras as well. This is a pet-friendly hotel, but I wish the owner of the cat that yowled off and on all night long would have had a room further away. This is the second Choice hotel in a row we've stayed at to advertise a free hot breakfast where the only hot item was the waffles. We were looking forward to eggs this morning but the only eggs they had were hard-boiled on ice and they were all gone within the first 6 guests. Certainly no one cooking eggs. There were instant oatmeal packages in several flavors. Not sure how this qualifies as a "hot breakfast". If you love carbs and sugar, this is the place for you. In addition to waffles, there are different cereals, bagels, bread and jam, muffins, Costco-sized tub of mini cinnamon rolls, hot chocolate, and juice. The one plus, and it's a strong one, is that gluten-free cereal and oatmeal were available. This was the first time we've gone to any hotel in the past 5 years the immediately understood and had provisions for those on a gluten-free diet, so kudos for that! read more

Very clean and comfortable rooms, and the staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. Price is reasonable and breakfast includes hot items We would stay there again. read more

This is a great road trip stop for the price. Room was clean with a good shower and quiet AC unit. Free breakfast with made to order eggs and waffles (topped with fresh blueberries and strawberries). Owners were very nice and accommodating. No traffic noise whatsoever. read more

This has to be one of the nicest and private inns I've been to. Great customer service and informative information and discounts for dining at certain places for staying at the inn. Clean rooms, spacious, Wi-Fi, nice comfy bed, nice view. The best part was free breakfast. They had a variety of things to choose from and it feels like a homey place. read more

Absolutely disgusting. DO NOT BELIEVE THE OTHER REVIEWS! I checked in at about 10:30pm on a road trip almost home to California. I booked this hotel thinking I got the last room at this hotel with great reviews. I walked into the room and quickly realized what a mistake I had made. I was in an accessible room, the only room available which is fine.... Room 101 right next to their outdoor washer and dryer and sink basin. Upon walking in you notice the fridge isn't even plugged in, so there goes all your cooler items. The disgust level is appalling. I immediately removed the comfetor and inspected the bed all the way down to the mattress. There are crumbs on the mattress pad, how long had those been there? The shower was absolutely filthy, other people's hair and leftover body scrubs on handles. We laid down on our own blankets feeling unsafe laying on their sheets. There were stains on the sheets as well. My husband and I staring at each other trying to decide to immediately ask for a refund or try to sleep with one eye open to make sure our little baby doesn't touch anything. At 12:04 am the owner (husband) comes by the washer and dryer using an electric drill with no regard to the people paying $100 for a room right next to him. The fan made this horrible flapping noise all night off and on but was too hot without it. This made sleeping impossible for us or our baby. Waking up to a dead roach on the side of the bed and a live roach running across the ceiling. Not safe for your kids, your babies, not safe for you. I doubt these rooms are cleaned at all. My socks are now filthy as well. BIG YUCK!!! PS: I mentioned this to the owner at checkout and she said really? With a surprised look on her face. Horrible. Horrible. Just keep going!!! read more

This is not a "fancy" motel, but it is clean, with nice towels and linens. The bed was excellent. It was quiet. Staff were very nice. And the price point was terrific. We would definitely stay here again! Location is just off I-40. read more

My husband and I enjoyed our stay on the way home from Las Vegas. I found this family-run inn via Yelp. I signed up for a Choice hotel membership, and they had a Military discount. It's a small motel /inn with a pool tucked away in the back (but wasn't open due to the season). We appreciated that we could back up our car right to our room. The bed was super comfortable. The owners were nice and in the morning prepared us eggs whichever way we wanted them plus mini waffles. There was a good variety of breakfast food choices besides that. My husband was into the coffee choices :). The room was very clean and I'm thankful they don't use carpet since that feels even cleaner. If you are going to use the little frig, be sure to turn it on in the back. They are saving on electricity, which I can appreciate, after my last few PG&E bills! I didn't thoroughly read the instruction list that was pointed out when we checked in, and therefore I was puzzled why it didn't get cold. My fault though. We highly recommend this cute little family business. Check them out! read more

The lobby is locked during the day, when we arrived. They buzz you in. (Suspicious). The owner was very nice and pleasant. The room was clean and we had some of our towels arranged in the form of a cute elephant like the pictures. The problem is the area is not safe. Cars showing off and revving their engines with back firing. Lots of stores are boarded up nearby. One of the inside safety locks was broken off the door. The hotel and owner was great, but the location is not safe and I would beware if you want to go out after dark. read more

Hospitality, clean and friendly - everything that's missing from the world we live in today! This pace is amazing! The owner here truly gives his all and this has been the BEST breakfast I've ever had along my travels. Food fresh, clean room, quiet - older building but I appreciate history, definitely STAY HERE and electric chargers are coming online too! Five stars all day long. read more

This was a comfortable and safe stay for us. The owners were amazing and very sweet and helpful. I would definitely stay at this location again. read more

5 stars for what it is: reasonable price, clean, good owners always present. Fridge, micro, comfy bed. I don't use the free wifi (I have my own) or the breakfast (I bring my own). They don't give me a discount for not using their services. .5 mile from the freeway. Run down neighborhood. One Yelper said she was in the handicap room 101 & had a bad experience. I am in the same room & no problem. I stay here 1-3 times a year on biz...except I missed 3 years due to Covid. read more

This place was clean. The room had plenty of light. Often hotels barely have any good lighting inside. The managers were very friendly and nice. The bed was comfortable. The room had faux wood floors which were beautiful. Nice quartz countertops as well. Haven't had some really awful experiences in the past with Wyndham hotels this was a breath of fresh air. I would definitely stay here again if I was passing through. The only drawback was that they had two very beautiful dogs, the dogs weren't the problem, the problem was the dog just went out and pooped in the middle of the parking lot. That was kind of gross. But it didn't really affect my stay. They offered breakfast in the morning. Scrambled eggs waffles cereal and fresh fruit. Overall it was a good experience read more

It's really a nice place. Clean, good WiFi. The family that owns the place is so kind and friendly. Really close to I-15 and I-40 as well as a Mohave information center. Not too far from Joshua Tree either if you're heading that way. Parking is limited, so try to get there earlier than later. The towels in the hotel rooms are shaped like an elephant. Seriously. Elephant towels. It's so cute! Definitely a nice touch. read more

Great value and good accommodations for the price. The owners were great, and the place was perfect for our Midway stop between Las Vegas and California read more

in February 2025 we were driving by the roadway Inn in California on Main st and saw a homeless guy struggling with a large dog that had a fat chain wrapped around tightly and stuck to its neck. We pulled over to assist the guy, and unfortunately, our fingers were too big. We went in the office of the roadway Inn Hotel and ask them for any tools to help us,the owners were happy to help us. The came out with tools and tried to maneuver it lose , the chain was so tight around this poor dogs neck that she was choking. It was devastating to see The' owners daughter placed her hands in between the chain and neck to help release the dog from being trapped with this thick chain around her neck. This family went well above and beyond showing their kindness towards animals and I'm very grateful that we all as a team worked together to release this dog from her pain and her choking. without hesitation, this family stepped up to help. We are very grateful for them and hope that this community rewards them Somehow !I live down the hill and I visit family up here and I'm happy to say that the owners of the on Main Street are honorable and kind and very generous towards society & animals. God bless you all. We truly appreciate all your help you did for this precious dog.Kikila read more

Rodeway Inn - Lots of effort and care put into the hotel. - Hotels Near Me - Barstow, California

Spent one night here on the way to Vegas. Couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience. Rooms were cozy and quiet. Breakfast was delicious with a variety of offerings. Staff was super friendly and kind. The care and consideration for the "little things" like folding the towels into an adorable elephant really made me smile and made the experience all the more enjoyable! My husband also very much enjoyed meeting Muppet the dog in her Christmas outfit while packing up our car. Would definitely stay here again. read more

Rodeway Inn is my go-to place for lodging whenever I come out to Barstow for adventures in the desert. The proprietors are very attentive, and the facilities are good. I made the mistake once of booking another accommodation, and was very grateful that Rodeway Inn had space when we came in late one night after the other motel proved unacceptable. Rodeway is not a plush hotel, but it's fantastic accommodations for the price tier. read more
