Motel 6 Barstow, CA - Route 66 - Barstow, California

Alba Laurie Hill

This is an excellent place to stay if you're looking to get swindled.

My 77-year-old mother stopped in and asked for the advertised price. They doubled it and claimed that their credit card machine was down, required her to pay cash. As tired as she was, my mother didn't pick up on the red flags, paid, and left for her room. Upon leaving the office, she saw several police cars had pulled into the parking lot, all lit up. She asked them if it was a dangerous place for her to stay and they advised her yes, lots of drug deals & other crime. My mother went back to the front desk, had not even peeked in the hotel room, and they refused the refund of her cash. We'll be pursuing actions to discourage their maltreatment of other senior citizen customers in this way.

The lack of compassion and common sense is unsettling and sad. Mom keeps blaming herself for not catching the red flags but what kind of heartless fraud would take advantage of her like that?

I recently had an extremely unpleasant experience at Motel 6, and I feel compelled to share my ordeal to warn future guests. From the moment I stepped into the room, I was horrified by the state of cleanliness and maintenance.
Firstly, the floors were visibly dirty and in desperate need of a thorough cleaning. There were unknown substances smeared on the walls, the air conditioner control panel, and even the room door, which was both disturbing and unhygienic.
The bed was a nightmare. The covers were filthy, the sheets were ripped, torn, full of holes, and stained. To make matters worse, the pillowcases were dirty, had hairs on them, and were stained with sweat. The pillows themselves were saturated with sweat stains and dirt, which was utterly disgusting. The mattress had an alarming accumulation of dirt and grime on it, making it impossible to even consider sleeping on it.
The room was completely unfit for occupancy and should never have been rented out. It was so appalling that I had to file a complaint with the health department. Let's hope they do their job so that some other unsuspecting person doesn't have to go through what I went through.
Overall, my stay at Motel 6 was a horrific experience, and I strongly advise against staying here. The level of cleanliness and hygiene was unacceptable, and the room was in such a deplorable state that it left me deeply concerned for my health and safety.
I even tried to call the manager to talk to him about my experience and he didnt have enough time to roll up his car window so we could converse and understand each other. This tells me that he doesn't care about his guests, just the money he's making off them.

**Feel free to zoom in on the pillows. Truely horrifying!!

Paid for two nights to spend with my little boy over the weekend, and was given a room, with dirty walls, moldy baseboards, and a very unkept floor. The blanket had burn holes in it, and the restroom had no toilet paper and only stained towels. Pillow case had someone's makeup and hair on it, like the bedding hadn't been changed. Then I discovered it also had no glass in the bathroom window. The office gave me toilet paper, and a couple clean towels, and clean bedding. But they refused to change my room, instead insisted that I simply "keep the bathroom door closed" to keep the cold air out of my room. When I complained further, I was given an extra blanket, and a very stained towel to put over the broken window. They wouldn't refund my money, and I wasn't in the financial position to pay for a room somewhere else to begin with. I had to clean that room myself, and put cardboard and a pillow in the window behind the towel, just to keep the cold wind from coming in. I posted a picture of the Bath tub, after trying to rinse all dirt and dust from the broken bathroom window above it, since they wouldn't change my room. The dirty water wouldn't drain into clogged drain.... which is a problem in all the rooms I've been in at this property, and probably the reason it stinks like sewage by the office. I've noticed that they don't actually changed the bedding in these rooms, I've seen the manger remake a bed without changing sheets, and this is the reason they don't hire maids here. Nobody wants to be associated with such filthy rooms, because it's not right, and it's disgusting. I'll add more supporting photos to this review, very soon.

Our room was not clean at all. The sheets and even “clean” towels appeared to have been already used and had stains. We didn’t feel comfortable enough to even shower. Thankfully, we had our own blankets to place on top of the bed to at least be able to sleep

A dump. 107 degrees outside but the ice machine was broken.. Suspiciously looking people exchanged stuff through the fence(drugs?).The room floor was dirty, the bathroom more than questionable,the air conditioner sounded like a broke washing machine. The reviews on there website are terrible and obviously the lack of hygiene in the rooms exist at least a year according to when people posted. The department of health should be notified

I recently stayed at the motel 6 and it was the most horrible stay I've ever had they put me in a room that looked like it was not even finished being prepared or painted, and when I went to lay down 2 bugs crawled on me and I was so disgusted so I went to the front office and they refused to switch me rooms or refund my money. This place is gross and ghetto and all the people there are ghetto and rude don't ever stay at this motel. It's the most disgusting place ever..

Dude Lost man

Other than the location, this place was really nice. Very clean rooms, very good service. I would absolutely stay here again. Balcony was a nice touch
