Best service motel in Barstow…read more Guy with long hair and glass takes care of property with his mother. Thank you God for how helpful he was. Yes it was the cheapest motel ever but best service always better for paying such a low price. Prices $35 to $45 for single unit. $35 to $65 for double. Was able to check in with my military Id after motel 6 would not take it and even with a reservation. Best part is Bar 66 is across street with the owner Paul ready to give you best bar service ever. The taco place across street is hit or miss with quality. The sound of squeaking train brakes makes you feel like you are part of the Barstow train yard. Room from picture is what you would expect for low price. Suggested simple repairs to manager guy, to bring up quality of unit I was in, but with such a low price figure it's a good enough place to crash on to Vegas.

The rooms also have thick brick walls and are basically duplexes, sharing only one common wall with another. The rooms are very bare-bones and nothing fancy and are a bit faded, but remember the price!! It's a great value for the money. You get a flat-screen TV, microwave, fridge, comfortable bed, and lots of thick carpeting. The wifi was rock solid the entire two nights I was here. Also, there's plenty of parking. The customer service was super friendly and nice. I will definitely come back again. Great great place.

It's a delightful colourful little bus station where the Greyhounds stop, and it also has transit for local areas and the desert and valleys. It's super pretty and super cute and we liked it. It's also a rest stop for travelers as well, so you'll meet all kinds of people here, and don't forget that the Amtrak is coming through here. It just has a little bit of everything, including all your typical food and convenience store needs - like a big truck stop of sorts. Definitely four stars from me.

I think Amtrak should abolish the prolonged stops for "Smoke Breaks" that essentially encourages an…read moreunhealthy habit, causes unnecessary delays, and has passengers reboard reeking of smoke that permeates the cabin. For those who are addicted to smoking and need their fix who can't smoke on board, this could be the catalyst as a blessing in disguise to help them quit or realize they have a left threatening problem. I think it would be a good corporate branding move to help save lives and not enable such a detrimental habit.

Also, don't expect the pool to be clean, it isn't. As a matter of fact, it was greener than the "fishing hole" right next to it. Probably be cleaner going for a dip in it than in the pool. The sites are pull through and they are reasonably level dirt spots, with a few green oleanders sprinkled about. The check in is easy and uncomplicated. It's Barstow, and did I mention it was only $40? Oh, their restaurant wasn't open so no comment there.

A very small town sits in front of it. There is a small CHP Helicopter pad and housing quarters here at the airport. Probably how they monitor speeders is from this helicopter. Over the last couple of years, they have really expanded the runways and spent a lotta money in upgrading the front of this airport entrance including security. There are now several squardrons of Helicopters at this facility. The medivac military heicopter usually comes from this airport for major collissions on the nearby freeways. This is a nice touch of history for our military personnel and a fun place that you can see from the freeway, if you look hard enough. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barstow-Daggett_Airport http://www.aopa.org/airports/KDAG

This review is specifically about the people who operate Daggett Aviation because the business…read morecannot be compared to FBOs such as Signature and Millionaire (which are located in major metropolitan areas and cater to business aviation). Barstow-Daggett Airport is the only attended field in California between KLAS and KMHV so if you need fuel or have a mechanical problem before you reach Las Vegas, this is your only realistic option for getting help. Fortunately, the people here are honest and helpful. There are no maintenance services available at KDAG but at least there is fuel, water, a restroom, and SHADE. It's not attended 24 hours but you can call a phone number to have someone to come out to pump fuel for you. Considering that they are literally in the middle of nowhere, their fuel prices are reasonable and they have Jet A as well as 100LL. Our airplane was stranded here for over three months with an engine problem until our mechanic could fly out to repair it. During that time, Daggett Aviation provided a semi-shaded place to park it at a very reasonable price and the people checked on it periodically to make sure that the tarps and tie-down lines were secure. That was unexpected and highly appreciated. One unusual downside was that there are a pair of owls that nest in the rafters so if you park here, you may find some "gifts" that the owls vomit onto your airplane. To deter them, the owner of one of the permanently based airplanes keeps a radio tuned to a music station in his parking space. (Apparently, the owls don't like the music.) Unfortunately, our airplane wasn't parked immediately next to his so we had a few balls of "owl arf" on ours that needed to be removed before we could fly it. Be sure to bring water, towels, and perhaps some Poop Off (to make the poop removal easier). On the other hand, thanks to the owls' efforts, there don't seem to be many live rodents in the vicinity of the shelter. ;-)
