Holiday Inn Express and Suites Barstow / by Stacey Almason

The Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Barstow has a great location just off Interstate 15 right before the junction Interstate 40.  It is also conveniently located within walking distance of the Barstow Outlets.  Just in case you want to stretch your legs after a long drive.  During our stay we booked the 1 King Bed 2 room suite with whirlpool.  This was our first night on a long road trip and we left late in the day due to my son, Jaxon's, summer class he had attended.  It was the perfect room for us as he was able to stretch out while we organized ourselves for the next long stretch of our trip into Arizona.

Our King Bed was extremely comfortable while being located in a extremely spacious room. The room included a large desk area with an additional desk below on wheels that gave you the option to extend your work space area.  This is where I was able to set up my computer and work very easily with their amazing high speed internet.

The living room had a whirlpool in the corner which Jax's found extremely entertaining.

The wet bar area was very tight and the new refrigerator did not fit under the counter as the original did but we survived the one night.

We were conveniently located on the same floor as the laundry room.  Since this would be the only night we had a laundry room until the following week we took advantage of the proximity and washed what we had.  The washers and dryers were immaculate which is honestly a relief when you are able to find a hotel that gives you this opportunity.

Before we headed out in the morning we were able to choose from a large selection of hot and cold breakfast items from their continental breakfast included in our stay.

In the end the hotel was just what we were looking for and anytime we travel through this area we will have no problem calling the Holiday Inn Express and Suites our home for the night.
