All of the Above is what I really really really don't like. Please don't get me wrong when I first came to Barstow my husband and I had to stay at the desert inn motel in Barstow California and the services we received at first was alright. It wasn't how it should've been. My husband and I had to stay at the desert inn motel for bout a week because our new place wasn't ready for us to move in quite yet. So long story short in other words the desert inn motel now as I see it is nasty, the majority of the rooms that are being renting have heavy infestation of roaches and bedbugs. If I had chance to stay there again, I probably wouldn't due to the fact that I don't live like that and it is very very very detrimental to my health and wellness and wellbeing. Oh and did I forget to mention the black mold and mildew that was in the majority of the rooms, I'll just continue on and end this review with these last words and say it's a true money saver when you're on a tight budget but just know that I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay at the desert inn motel if my life depended on it..

We booked the hotel thinking it looked good on the outside. When we got there to check in, there were strangers to us walking around the outside of the facility or sitting on the stairs etc. The strangers looked dangerous to us and made us uncomfortable so we decided not to stay and went across the street to the Budget Inn.
