Best Western Desert Villa Inn

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

After a long hot ride from PHoenix to Barstow via Blythe we decided to park it for the night at the Desert Villa Inn. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, we got our room in short order, processed the paperwork and moved out scooters to the parking area in front of our room. Once inside and unloaded I stopped at the sink to wash my sun burned face only to find the sink full of tiny little bugs, sink only the rest of the room was spotless so... We went back to the office, received a copious spew of apologies and a new room just across the parking lot. This time the room was free of wildlife plus the layout was a bit better than the first room. Check out went smoothly, a bog-o-breakfast was offered however H2O was the only thing we wanted. Thanks for the quick recovery and a better room without any hassles. less

We had a reservation for a dependent adult gentleman traveling with two caregivers. We were told by a very surly front desk worker that the Caregivers were not essential workers. I tried to explain otherwise to this ill tempered young woman who doubled down on her position. I informed her that this type of action could result in legal action against Best Western. Suffice to say the call did not end well. I asked to speak to the manager and was told she was not available, to call back tomorrow. less

Traveling for work from florida like staying at bestwestern properties. The covid19 virus makes the stay a little less enjoyable. I miss the breakfast and fitness center since they are not available. Also kinda hate the fact that the laundry is unavailable. But considering the current situation had a very pleasant stay. less
