There are many Motel 6 in Barstow to choose from. This is the only one that has a 10 acre park with green grass and shade trees for your pooch within 35 yards walking distance. There's a lot of desert in Barstow, a harsh environment for sure. Give your dog comfort in shade and green manicured grass to do their business in and start your morning off with a stress free walk and sniff and a potty area not as hot as lava rocks fresh from a volcano. The owner/operator and his new family are a delight and he can easily be mistaken for an innkeeper that has been worn thin. Granted, the motel is a work in progress. The owner/ operator is a one man show with a new baby and weary travelers pulling at him around the clock. Be patient and afford some grace, can't beat the park next door anywhere outside of LA or OC for your furry companion and stress free, familiar morning or evening walk, sniff, and s*** on green grass just out the gate. Bring some towels for the bathroom, you're warned. The A.C. units are being serviced and cleaned one at a time.
