    Lower your expectations

    Bed was a trampoline. AC unit was extremely loud and pulsating an even louder noise - literally equivalent to the throbbing of a bad headache. I got about two hours of sleep. While taking my dog outside to do his business, a car full of tweekers rolled up on me fast from behind the plaza next door and I literally had to turn and run back to the room to escape being robbed (hahahaha). Otherwise, no complaints. It's a hotel in Barstow. I doubt any other hotel would have been any better. Like I said, lower your expectations or better yet, don't have any at all. Might want to carry a weapon for self defense just in case.

    Staff was very friendly.

    Pet friendly rooms

    So happy to get a room without carpet or fabric furniture. Great breakfast. Only downside was the pet area. Basically a chain link fence thrown up on a dried out lot.

    Okay

    Being on the end of route 40 definitely helps. No good place for the dogs to go. Very much on highway. Breakfast was good. Room was average.

    Convenient stop

    This was a clean, convenient stop on our road trip. The room was large and well equipped. A hot breakfast was offered too, which was a great bonus. Unfortunately, the dog area was not available yet and walking space was limited. We would stay again.

    Best Western Villa Inn

    It was just OK. The shabbiest of the Best Westerns we have been to. No designated pet area. Front desk did not seem to know the area.

    Okay

    Location was close to trains and highways. They had earplugs for my paw-rents but none for me.

    No place to pee

    Our dog will only “go” on grass or around plants. Other than rock gardens with limited plants, there’s nowhere to go for snooty dogs like ours.

    Not recommended

    This place overcharged and was very unpleasant. BringFido should take this hotel off their list.

    Clean room/helpful staff

    We were on a road trip and got a flat tire and ended up getting in very late so didn’t spend much time here. But it was a clean room, nice staff, and we felt secure. Dogs were happy too. Great donuts and coffee around the corner too.

    Nice Stay

    The room was clean but it was noisy until about 1am and there were still a few loud cars or trucks driving through the parking lot. Breakfast wasn’t good

    Frightening

    Shortly after checking in, we noted much foot traffic In the parking lot from an adjacent trailer park, people searching the trash and trying the room doors and people walking by slowly staring at us, our car and our belongings. A drug deal occurred in the middle of the lot. There was no place to walk the dog. We did not feel safe spending the night and left immediately for another place on Lenwood road on the other side of town that was much better.

    No pet relief area!

    We only stayed here because the drive was getting too long to continue. Front desk was very friendly, and the bed was very comfortable. Room was very basic, but it worked for one night. The biggest drawback is there is no sort of grass anywhere for your dog to do his business. My dog isn’t used to desert living and refused to go in the patches of rock.

    love the sound of trains

    Nicely kept hotel. Close to truck route and railroad. Friendly staff. Decent breakfast choices.

    Economical and serviceable.

    This is no luxury pooch resort - but it will get you and your dog through the desert- safe, clean and no frills.

    Decent Option

    Rooms were fine and customer service was great. Okay for one night but wouldn’t recommend longer. No good spots to relieve or walk dog, very busy and loud even during week because of highway location. My pup was anxious and barked a lot.

    Great Hotel

    Friendly staff and clean rooms. One of the best Best Westerns that I have stayed with.

    Nice room, convenient location, not a great place to walk the dog

    The room was very clean and looks to be recently renovated. The breakfast was more than I expected. Overall it was a very nice stay. Just a bit noisy with outside noise of people arriving and coming in and out of their rooms, the usual. Nothing near by to walk my dog except through the parking lot of a shopping area. Overall fine for one night.
