I recently stayed at the California Inn in Barstow, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, which I appreciated right from the start. There was plenty of parking available, making it convenient for our arrival. The hostess greeted us promptly, setting a positive tone for our stay. I had a good night's sleep in a comfortable room, which was exactly what I needed. One of the highlights was the breakfast; it was excellent! I enjoyed having the option of an omelette, along with sausage and country potatoes. It was a great way to start the day. I truly enjoyed my stay and would look forward to returning in the future.

I had a large cooler that I needed to bring into my room. Room was on the 2nd floor of one of the larger buildings on the NORTH side. I couldn't find an elevator anywhere so I had to carry it upstairs to get it to my room. Not a problem or complaint for me, just want to warn folks who need accessibility that this might not be the right property for them, or to at least try notifying the staff on the front end that they need a room that easily accessible.

This hotel charged a deposit for incidentals or damage. This deposit was substantially higher than all the other hotels I stayed at during a cross country trip. They said my deposit would be refunded in 5-6 days. I did not damage the room or have any incidental charges. When I checked my credit card statement 11 days after my stay I saw that they had not refunded my deposit. I phoned the hotel and asked them about it. They said I smoked in the room so they were keeping my deposit. I do not smoke, nor does my travel companion. We did not even light a match in that room. When I disputed this with the assistant manager he just said I signed a paper stating I wouldn’t smoke. He was very disagreeable and did not offer any hope that they would return my deposit. I suspect this is a scam and a way to overcharge for mediocre lodging. Travelers beware!!!

Awesome staff! Room was clean. Slider door on first floor allows easy access to your car. If you’re on the second floor, you get a balcony as a trade-off. Bar, food, and convenience store less than 5 min walk.
