Hampton Inn & Suites Barstow

Friendly staff upon arrival. Gave us snacks and drinks. We were hoping for the ground floor. But all the ground floor is King, and we needed two queens. Pet friendly! We don't usually travel with pets, but are moving cross country and dreaded Motel 6 types. So thankful there are Hilton brands all along our route that acceptsl pets!

The room was nice. Spacious with a couch, sitting chair, table, and a desk with 2 chairs, that can be used for meals. Large television. Two large windows that open for fresh air. I did find a noticeable long curly black hair on the white shower curtain. (I'm blond). We used the laundry. The washers are pretty small. But did the job. Soap is $4. And $1.50 to wash, and $1.00 to dry. Not bad!

There's only a dresser between the two beds. It would be nice if there were some kind of small table or stand on the opposite side of each bed. The bed is pretty firm. I personally prefer a soft bed. It's pretty loud. We heard stomping all night. You can hear people's televisions and people talking. All night.

While looking for a lost pet toy, we found a floss toothpick under the bed, a food wrapper behind the couch, and a water bottle cap medt to the far bed in a corner. I'm glad we brought disinfectant spray! They charged us our room fee. Then, a separate charge for 19 dollars. Not sure why. But in the night, they charged another 30. Weird. Why 3 separate charges?

Breakfast was pretty good. Western omlets, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, waffles, oatmeal, toast, bagels, fruit, coffee, juices. The attendent working was very nice. (Don't forget to tip them!)

There are so many food joints around. Like 30 to choose from. It's right next to a huge open-air shopping mall. Huge! I wish we weren't moving and I could go shop! Haha.
