Best Western Desert Villa Inn

Very nice place. Room looked freshly painted in a soothing pale blue color. Appeared to have new carpet and tile. Bed was comfortable and we felt safe, even though the door opened directly to the outside (great for unloading the car). Nice shutters on the front window, but they were not room darkening and let alot of light in during the night. Nice toiletries. Grab and go breakfast bag with excellent muffin, granola bar, water bottle and fruit cup much appreciated. Decaf coffee packet in the room was probably old in that the resultant brewed coffee wasn't good. Otherwise, we liked the hotel and would stay again. The young man who checked us in was very friendly and we felt welcomed. less

We stayed in five or six Best Westerns during our Pacific Coast Highway trip, and in this one heading back to Utah. This one and the one in Oakland surpassed the others in quality. The rooms and lobby were clean, and the staff helpful. The COVID-times breakfast was the best along the way. I doubt many people stop in Barstow, but if you do, I highly recommend this place. less

1. If you need to stay in Barstow; This is a solid motel. It’s cheap, it’s clean and has been updated / modernized, when I was there it was very quiet. What I also really like about BW in general is that check in is at 1400; none of this crazy 1600 check in policy like some of the “higher end” motels. The last thing in this COVID era, this is a nice / clean motel in which you can access your room via the outside; ie no need to walk inside/ go through lobby etc... 2. The only downside (not the fault of BW) is that there are somewhat limited dining options around, but then that’s more of a factor related to Barstow. less

Wow! I was very impressed with this motel. The Virus protocol was absolutely great: plexiglass dividers, employees with masks, signs on entry doors "masks required", hand sanitizer, clean pen basket/dirty pen basket, employee used sanitizer between customers, rooms are disinfected with an electrostatic sprayer. You cannot get any better. Plus, the lobby and room were very clean and upgraded. Plantation shutters on the window (no blowing curtains). Everything was in working order. We will definitely be back!!!! I give them a 20 out of 10!!! less

All the employees we interacted with were super friendly. The room was clean and we liked the louvered shutters on the windows. Due to COVID the breakfast was a to-go bag that included: bottled water, yogurt, prepackaged fruit cup, a mini muffin or two and a granola bar. The motel is near some train tracks but helpfully there were 2 pairs of earplugs on the nightstand and the train sounds did not bother me. There is a McDonalds and a Walmart within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again! less
