Stayed here recently while passing through on an overnight. The hotel staff were all friendly and professional. Check in was a breeze and checking out, even easier. My ground floor room was comfortable enough and the room spacious, it served its purpose for my overnight stay. The bed fairly comfortable, with plenty of hot water for my shower the next morning. A coffee maker with the supporting supplies allowed for a decent cup of java while I got prepared for my day. 3 Stars - it served its purpose at a fair value for the area. 00949 read more

Here again at the best Western Desert winds and like always greeted with amazing hospitality. This time the general manager was at the front desk and she checked me in and made it look easy I got to my room like always. The rooms are very clean. Everything is very neat and organized. Like always thank you for the wonderful stay.. read more

If you're looking for a place to stay for the night, this is probably the best you're going to get in this area unless you drive further down to Barstow. Do you consider Best Western a motel or hotel? Check in was a breeze. The room was clean, the bed was ok, there was a microwave and refrigerator . The shower had hot water. The included continental breakfast was convenient. I recommend the waffle, it was delicious. If you had a long day driving and can't drive any further, spend the night at Best Western and start fresh in the morning. The hotel is located across the street from the train track. I can hear the train in the early morning, something to consider if you're a light sleeper. read more

I picked this motel for a one night road trip layover, based on some good reviews. Ended up being disappointed, and my expectations were not very high to begin with. First of all, this is a motel, and an old one...it is NOT a hotel. The room was fairly clean, but everything was old. The furniture, the bathroom fixtures, the carpet. And a very small room. The other neighbors seemed to be construction workers who were staying here for a job, and they felt the need to party outside, loudly, until 11pm. And across the street are the rail tracks, with freight trains running by all night long. There really isn't a lot of choice for where to stay in Mojave, and from what I saw this Best Western may be one of the best available. My recommendation? Don't bother staying in Mojave unless you have no other choice. Either push on to Tehachapi (if you're traveling west), or push on to Barstow (if you're traveling east.) read more

I travel a lot for business I had a business trip to Mojave for 5 nights There were not a lot of company approved hotels in Mojave. The Best Western Desert winds was one as well as other further away. At first glance it's an older building, it's true looks can be deceiving. The first indication it would be a good stay Beatrice at the front desk helped me add a day so I wouldn't have to change rooms. The room was great, furniture was up to date clean well decorated and comfortable. The hot breakfast was everything you could want. The price was good, I would stay here again anytime read more

The breakfast manager, Xochail, was constantly making sure everything and everyone was happy. Very safe and secure. read more

left my nintendo switch here (yellow). called the front desk said they saw it in lost & found but needed to call back when the manager was in when i came in person the next week they said they didnt have it and i know 10000% i left it in my room ether someone in front desk is lying now or the cleaners stole it! making a police report.... also asked the front desk to have room service clean my room after being here two night... they didn't even change my sheets cuz they had the same stains i left on the side from spilling some of my food the first night i was here. smh. makes you think if you even had clean sheets to begin with read more

Checked in around 1 am. Dwayne was able to check us in at a fair rate quickly and was a pleasure to talk to! The room was clean and the pool and lights were really pretty at night. Continental breakfast was biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, waffles, yogurt, cereals and breads/muffins with a juice and coffee bar. Great place to stop! read more

These 5 STARS are for MARGIE BOOTON! Margie was very informative and kind to me. I needed some essentials and she helped make it happen. Best western Desert Winds has very nice and clean rooms. But I wanted to acknowledge Margie BOOTON by giving her 5 Stars. read more

Great hotel. Comfortable bed. Very quiet. Clean room. The staff was very nice. When in Mojave stay at the Best Western.

We had a large room with 2 comfortable queen beds. Everything was very clean. The refrigerator was good size for the lunch foods we bring when traveling and even had a small freezer section for our ice cylinders. The complimentary breakfast was one of the best I've seen at a motel including hot scrambled eggs. I would recommend this motel to anyone traveling in the Mojave area. read more

My wife and I checked in here only to find that the room had no light bulbs in any of the lights. The person on duty tried to find us some and said that the owner hides them. When she had no luck finding any we were offered a refund, but she said we would have to call the manager the next morning to get it. We called, after going to another hotel, and she told us that she would not give us a refund. They have quite a scam going ! BEWARE !!!! read more

Stayed here 1 night while driving through the area in an thunderstorm so decided to stop in Mojave instead of carrying on. Good price, even without a prior reservayion, very clean, well-planned room and bathroom. Breakfast (included) featured hot items like biscuits and gravy, sausage and bacon, as well as toast, cereal etc. I would definitely stay there again. read more

Pretty decent room but both sink and shower drains are plugged. That pretty much ruined it for me.

It's a nice , clean motel in a middle of a tiny town. I super love it because it's quiet and reasonable . We usually stay at the one in Lancaster but for some reason this weekend their rate is double than what we usually pay. Like other Best western thIs one offered hot breakfast too... bacon, eggs, sausage with biscuits and gravy, waffles , hard boiled eggs and different kind of bread that you can toast. They also have some oatmeal and cold breakfast to chOose frIm. Are we gonna be back? Why not! read more

Good rooms, clean and comfortable. One star off for the tight parking lot, and the noise at 6 am when all the contract workers left to go to work. Otherwise I would stay here again. read more

Just checked in and have to say- the hotel has been so accommodating already. We are towing a small trailer and the manager, maintenance man and front desk worker all came out to help us park and find a solution that made sense for us as well as the hotel. The room is nice, very clean and spacious. We are very happy we picked this hotel for our desert getaway. read more

On our way to Vegas. I think the room was is clean an up to date, Easy to find location and staff was friendly, fast and easy check in. Used my rewards point for a free night stay. No complaints from me very satisfied and we get free breakfast. Score read more

Pretty clean room and good breakfast! Decent pricing! Parking was a little annoying, but overall a pretty positive experience.

We were pleasantly surprised at the updated and cleanliness of the room. Staff was cheerful and very helpful. The only complaint I have is the outside door is old and has space at the bottom. I would stay here again. read more

Breakfast was not well stocked. Most of the machines had out of order sign on them. Rooms were clean. Stayed on 25th march 2017 read more

Best Western Desert Winds - Pancake making machine was turned off and no Water - Hotels Near Me - Mojave, California

This definitely is the best hotel in town. Quiet, clean rooms with hygienic remotes, what more could you ask for. They're very good about last minute changes to your reservations and the staff is always courteous. Free continental breakfast didn't have much I wanted, but at least I could get a snack. If you can make another 20-30 min heading south toward Lancaster or Palmdale, then I would, as the town of Mojave really has only a couple fast food places. But if you're heading north or just need a clean comfy place to crash, I highly recommend this hotel since everything else in the immediate vicinity is just intolerable even if they are cheaper. They also have free Wifi but it's a bit slow at times. Bottom line, good prices, clean and comfy rooms. What more could you ask for from the tiny town of Mojave? read more

Nice room, good price, excellent front desk. Easy to find from CA 58.working from laptop, will expand when i get home Also full hoy breakfast bar, read more

Average Best Western. Our son is a train fan so the trains didn't bother us at all, they dont sound horns so you just hear a little murmur now and again. Room was clean and nice. I was gonna give 4 stars BUT the continental breakfast was outstanding, beats the Dennys that's just down the block. Give the lady in charge of the breakfast a raise, food was cooked perfect and everything was hot. read more

This hotel deserves -5 stars and my experience here three nights ago will shape my utilization of Best Western International hotels for ever more. I wrote the following letter to the hotel, the next day. The Franchise owner had not the courtesy to respond: 21 October 2014 Best Western Franchise 05619 Desert Winds 16200 Sierra Highway Mojave, CA 93501 Attn: Franchise owner Mr. Bobby Singh Good morning Mr Singh, I hope you are well rested; we are not. Linda and I were unfortunately assigned your room #211 last night. I'm a retired airline crew member and I've been in hotels around the world, at least 5 continents. Last night's room at your hotel was the worst I've ever had the misfortune to use in my life. The room should not have been in service. Your staff has the list of calls and complaints. Primarily, the motion sensor turns on the room light after timer lapses and motion is detected. Thus every 60-90 minutes the room overhead light came on. This is a long established interrogation technique. Unfortunately we are simply trying to drive cross country. Safely. Since we both had NO sleep last night I'm hopeful we make it. Additionally, wifi on three devices did not work in the room, the tv picture quality low, and the shower would not completely turn off. I am asking you to call me with your proposed solution by 3pm your time. I'm at xxx.xxx.xxxx. I'm assuming a full refund is a forgone conclusion. I believe your appropriate response is, in addition to refunding the room charge, you'll want to provide me a confirmation number for a room tonight in Ely NV, paid for by Best Western. ~~~~~~~~~ I advise you to sleep in your car before you use this place. Don't forget, the trains run north south, a block to the west.. Several times nightly, but we were already awake.. read more

We arrived after a 12 hour drive on the 1st leg of a 5 days move across the country with 2 dogs and a parrot in tow. When I called and made the reservation, "corporate" told me I would be accommodated. When I arrived, they knew nothing about my pets, and didn't have any rooms on the ground floor. We had to then proceed to schlep our entire circus from the car, around the pool, and up the stairs... it was not ideal. The room was clean, but tiny, and not at all ideal for our pet situation. Thankfully, we all managed... They seemed to have a couple of "pet areas" but one was locked and the other wouldn't open... The experience was not great, but, I'll give them an extra star for not charging for our pets! read more

I've stayed at this location twice when I was out at Willow Springs Raceway. On both occasions I called about an hour before and they always had a room available. The front staff has a woman who is extremely friendly and great to talk to. Due to COVID-19, they can't offer their usual continental breakfast so instead they are pre-packaging grab-and-go breakfasts for guests who request one. This is really thoughtful and accommodating. Rates are cheap and the rooms are spotless and don't smell weird (like a lot of Rosamond/Lancaster hotels). read more

I was driving from LA to Mammoth Lakes after after doctors appointments. I got a reservation at BW, not expecting much. It is an old hotel on the main drag of Mohave, with few options. I was very happy with the front desk gal. She was most friendly and helpful , finding me a good Mexican restaurant. She gave me a room further away from the road. It was spacious, had a good mattress and new bedding, new TV with lots of stations. The room had a small fridge, nice because I was carrying food. The free breakfast was decent, had scrambled eggs, sausage patties and biscuits and gravy. Tasty, plus the yogurt for the road. I was very happy and got the AAA rate, so it was reasonable. I would go there again without hesitation as a drive single night stopover motel. read more

Great little place. Updated rooms with nice TVs, fridge, microwave and fast wifi. Not to mention that it was super clean and the people at the front desk were super friendly. From 6 am to 10 am they have a full hot breakfast room with waffles, eggs and BACON! They had a pool and a hot tub that I didn't get to use but it looked clean. If I ever need to stay in the area, 10/10- would stay again. PS. Did I mention bacon? read more

It was OK but there are a lot of cheaper options in town. The wifi worked but was not great. There was also a high-pitched whining sound in our room, maybe the pipes? It was clean though, which was great. read more

All you expect and less. Old, Dirty, Noisy. Feels like you're on the set of "Breaking Bad". If there is no place else to stay consider staying here, or have a large coffee and keep driving.. read more

We clean rooms, great front desk service, quiet place and a very good breakfast selection. This is a little oasis in this nice little desert town. The hot tub was warm, nice and clean. Perfect for a soak to relieve our aching bones from a long day of off-roading. read more

Stayed there again on our trip back home. Very comfortable and clean, reasonable rate. Just avoid the Chinese buffet down the road. Mike's Roadhouse Cafe is another story...great "comfort food" with good service and prices. Would recommend both the motel AND Mikes. read more

I travel a lot and hit cheap motels...here is how to take control! Measure twice, cut once! 1. Check room first: if non-smoking is there smoke hangover? if so, get another room. Do the bug test...look at corners of room, no ants anywhere, etc. 5 min walk through. 2. Check AC/Heating/microwave/fridge: Get a room on the top floor to avoid ceiling thump! AC in summer is essential when upstairs. This is a guy thing, but clean out AC filter! You want fresh air coming in. Easy to take apart, clean, pop back on. 3. Get a quiet room if possible away from street: Recon motel before going inside...sit in lot and observe the vibe. Woman want safe so if it doesn't feel right, you might have to pay more. 4. Clorox/Baby Wipes: Spray the room and bathroom down first thing! I mean everything...15 mins max. Peace of mind! Don't forget the TV remote! 5. Bring your own sheets: Wal*Mart special on sheets...after your spray, lay down your own sheets for peace of mind. Nothing worse than itching in a motel bed at 2am...stress factor will ruin your next 24 hrs. 6. Bring instant coffee/shampoo: Yes there is good instant coffee...your creamer will make it taste great! 7. Hot Plate & Cooler: Long road trips, this is essential unless you want to eat out which cost money. A $12 Dollar Store hot plate will do wonders. Motel has the ice. Get fresh veggies and whatnot, make a good salad, cook rice...make chili...easy to do! Get the containers at the DS as well...best $3 you can spend. 8. Ear Plugs: Best investment ever...got noise? Plug it! 9. Arrange Furniture: Move stuff...make it your home! Psychological factor will calm everyone. 10. BYOP: bring your own pillows! Motel pillows usually suck. Another Wal*Mart special...drop $8 on a new pillow. Forget breakfast...everything else is bonus! Pancake bar not working? Really? No shampoo? Really? Who cares...one trip to the Dollar Store and you are set for your entire trip! read more

Clean room. Good service. All amenities. However, I am writing this review because of the staff. I left something valuable in my room and it was returned to the office by the cleaning staff. I am very grateful and will always stay here when in the area. read more

I was extremely happy with the lady that checked me and our volleyball coach in on September 14, 2018. We needed the girls rooms to be all together and at first they weren't but the lady at check in worked her magic and got all the rooms together. It made it so much easier to keep track of 14 girls. The rooms were super clean and everything worked perfectly. The girls asked for towels to use at the pool that evening and were brought towels right away. The staff was friendly. I will definitely stay here again!! read more

Strong glue smell from new carpets last week. There is glue these days they could have used that doesn't smell.

Decent roadside hotel. Probably the best in Mojave, which is really not saying much. The good news is that it was clean, AC worked great, and a Denny's is literally steps away. Bad news is that it is in Mojave. Of course, we had a crackhead wandering around trying to panhandle and scam anybody in sight, including us, but I am guessing this is just normal in this area. If I had to stay in Mojave again, this would be the place we'd stay. read more

Around a 3.5 to be realistic, but I'll be generous and give them a 4 because this is probably the best option around Willow Springs International Raceway. The facilities were acceptably clean though not impeccable, and the staff was friendly. Not much food nearby, not much to do around here, and the wi-fi sucked, which I'm a real sucker for. Still, it's hard to get a good night's sleep around here, and I did sleep well. read more

This was a great hotel, the room was great. The bed was super comfortable. It's a really quiet location. Everything was perfect. Vanessa at the front desk was amazing and super helpful. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. read more
