Desert Inn, Barstow California

This motel started in 1956 and is still operating today. It's the kind of place that doesn’t just whisper “budget-friendly”; it shouts it from the rooftop. Still, love the Spanish tiled roof and classic sign, even though the original neon was replaced. Squint at the Desert Inn Motel sign and imagine that neon buzzing again on East Main Street in Barstow, CA
