I
have
been
making
my
way
cross
country
and
have
been
staying
in
Best
Westerns
most
nights.
Some
are
better
than
others,
this
one
falls
in
between.
First
off,
I
have
seen
reviews
complaining
about
the
location.
Yea,
it's
not
great,
but
I
don't
understand
what
people
were
expecting.
This
is
Barstow,
right
off
the
freeway.
It
services
travelers
passing
through.
It
doesn't
try
to
sell
itself
as
a
5
star
resort.
That
said,
there
was
much
to
appreciate
here,
and
some
things
not
to.
I
REALLY
appreciated
how
well
lit
the
parking
lot
was,
complete
with
some
extra
security
lighting.
I
felt
very
safe
parking
my
car
overnight,
as
well
as
leaving
my
room
after
dark.
I
was
given
a
room
on
the
non
pet/non
smoking
side
of
the
hotel.
Upon
entering
my
room,
there
was
a
very
heavy
scent
of
pine
cleanser.
I
am
sensitive
to
chemicals,
so
I
opened
the
window
to
air
it
out
a
bit.
Unfortunately,
as
the
pine
smell
dissipated,
the
smell
of
pet
urine
became
noticeable.
I
alerted
the
front
desk,
where
I
was
told
pets
were
not
allowed
on
my
side
of
the
hotel.
However,
without
even
asking,
I
was
immediately
switched
to
another
room
right
next
door.
(Also
heavy
pine
smell
but
it
aired
out
fine).
The
thing
is,
both
when
I
left
my
room
around
11pm
to
use
the
vending
machine,
as
well
as
around
6am
when
I
headed
to
breakfast,
I
saw
multiple
people
on
my
side
of
the
hotel
exiting
their
rooms
with
dogs.
I
am
not
implying
the
front
desk
lied
to
me,
only
that
they
are
not
enforcing
their
pet
policy
very
well.
(I
suspect
people
were
trying
to
avoid
a
pet
deposit
and
did
not
disclose
they
had
pets).
The
new
room
itself
was
clean.
There
was
a
in
room
fridge
and
microwave,
though
they
were
located
in
an
odd
spot
by
the
bathroom
that
made
them
a
little
difficult
to
access.
Yes,
there
was
noise
outside
of
the
room,
including
other
guests
and
the
train.
Earplugs
are
provided.
Noise
doesn't
tend
to
disturb
my
sleep,
but
others
might
have
difficulty
with
this.
The
only
vending
machine
was
across
the
lot
and
out
of
water.
I
went
to
the
front
desk
and
was
given
complimentary
water.
The
breakfast
was
actually
pretty
good
for
a
free
meal.
Lots
of
options
both
hot
and
cold,
and
the
hot
items
(omelettes,
seasoned
potatoes,
biscuit
and
gravy)
were
quite
tasty.
I
know
this
was
a
long
review
but
I
wanted
to
cover
some
issues
mentioned
in
other
reviews.
One
last
thing.
JUSTIN
the
clerk
at
the
front
desk
was
AMAZING!
He
was
so
friendly
and
obviously
dedicated
to
providing
a
good
guest
experience.
I
hope
his
managers
read
this
and
realize
what
a
great
employee
they
have
there!
