This is another one of several old style motels along historic Route 66 in Barstow. Originally the motel had 15 units and a three bedroom managers apartment. At least 6 units were added later. They still a 60s style sign in 2009, but it is not nearly as cool as the original. The place is apparently more of a weekly or monthly property now.
