Unlike most reviewers, I did not stay at the Ludlow Motel in desperation after a misjudgment of time and distance. I booked a room here in advance because I wanted to check out the place myself and it exactly filled a need in my Route 66 itinerary. People often refer to the place as "basic" and I suppose that's true... More

Much as has been mentioned by previous posters, we ended up here after a long day on route 66 trip and just could'nt go any further. The place is not very welcoming as it is directly across from a service station, which is where you book in. Staff showed little interest in our enquiries and the place itself has a... More

stopped here about 9pm after a long day on route 66. petrol station staff where you check in were friendly enough and we were told the rooms are basic, no wi fi and no coffee maker but free coffee and soda from petrol station during your stay, ok with us, but may have been a pain if it was raining!!!!...

To be honest we were happy finding this place after long drive from LA through Joshua Tree Park, providing that this is the only motel on the way to Mojave Reserve. You check in at the petrol station, room is smelly but beds ok, bathroom...well at least has a hot shower. The pros is nearby cafe Route 66 where you... More

We ended up in Ludlow after a long drive on Route 66 into California and couldn't push onto try and find another motel. The relief at finding a place to sleep was enormous although the motel certainly isn't great. You book it through the service station and it is cheap - don't expect much more service then that. The room... More

We broke down 12 miles west of Ludlow and were blessed by their location. The motel is simply that -- if you are expecting the hotel standards of the more elegant national chains, keep driving. The staff were informal but helpful. They didn't bother with all the perfunctory PCness that chains inforce on their employees however. The rooms are all... More

One star is one star too many. This is an angry, unhappy place. AVOID. Life in the desert must bite. It's very hot and there is nothing to do for many miles. Perhaps that's why everyone involved with this motel and the related Chevron station are so rude and unhappy. This evening, I stopped in to inquire about a room.... More

This is the only lodging available in Ludlow, which is about 60 miles east of Barstow on I-40. For roughly $50 per night this was a nice stay. The room was clean, the A/C worked very well, the room had a large TV w/satellite programming (20 channels) and the beds were more comfortable than some national budget chains. Would stay... More

I was driving across the mohave desert, tired and late at night. Ludlow has 1 gas station open 24 hours a day, a hotel and a coffee shop that was closed. The room was ok, $50. The concern I had was in the middle of nowhere, with lots of semi traffic and nothing else. there was no deadbolt on the... More
