Guest rating: 3.7 / 5
Overview
Studio 6 Barstow is a 3-star budget motel located at 150 Yucca Ave in Barstow, California, just off Interstate 15/Interstate 40. It's a straightforward, no-frills property set in an area dominated by fast-food restaurants and highway-adjacent commercial development, making it a practical stopover for road-trippers rather than a destination resort.
Rooms
Rooms feature colorful accent walls and a simple, functional layout, with kitchenettes and flat-screen TVs included as standard. Reviewers note that some rooms have been recently remodeled and feel new, though others report inconsistencies such as missing amenities (shampoo, conditioner, TV remotes) and firm memory-foam bedding.
Amenities
On-site amenities include an outdoor pool, Wi-Fi, and parking, along with an ice maker in the lobby. The hotel is pet-friendly, which is a notable draw for travelers on road trips through the Mojave Desert region.
Location
The hotel sits close to a cluster of Barstow's Route 66 heritage sites, including the Route 66 Mother Road Museum, Western America Railroad Museum, Harvey House, Barstow Route 66, Barstow Station, Main Street Murals, the California Clown Museum, and the Mojave River Valley Museum, all within about 2 kilometers. Farther afield, Calico Ghost Town, Calico Ghost Tours, Rainbow Basin Natural Area, and Liberty Sculpture Park are roughly 14 kilometers away, and the Mojave National Preserve Headquarters is about 3 kilometers out.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious road-trippers and drivers passing through on Interstate 15/Interstate 40 who need an affordable, convenient overnight stop. It's also a fit for pet owners traveling with animals and for visitors focused on exploring Barstow's cluster of Route 66 museums and landmarks, most of which are within a couple of kilometers of the property.
Travel tips
Given its location just off Interstate 15/Interstate 40, the hotel is easy to reach by car but is best suited to travelers with their own vehicle, as it sits in an area built around highway commerce rather than walkable downtown attractions. Plan a short drive (roughly 14 kilometers) if you want to visit Calico Ghost Town or Rainbow Basin Natural Area, while Route 66 sites like the Mother Road Museum and Harvey House are close enough for a quick visit. Since guest reviews mention inconsistent housekeeping and amenity availability, it's worth confirming basics like a TV remote or toiletries at check-in.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed. Several reviewers praise recently remodeled rooms that feel new and clean, and multiple guests highlight friendly, accommodating front desk staff. On the negative side, recurring complaints include noise disturbances from other guests late at night, inconsistent room cleanliness at check-in, and missing standard amenities such as toiletries and a TV remote, with one reviewer also noting the pool was closed and describing the overall experience as very basic for the price.
