Right next door to the Tanger Outlet Center in Barstow, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Barstow-Outlet Center sits in a practical spot just off I-15. If you’re driving through the Desert Region and need a place to stop with your dog, this hotel handles that straightforwardly—dogs are welcome, and you won’t feel like you’re imposing by bringing one along.

The rooms are standard Holiday Inn style: clean, functional, and comfortable after a day of driving or exploring. The outdoor pool is a nice addition if you’re staying during warmer months, and there’s a fitness center if you need to burn off some energy before hitting the road again. Breakfast is complimentary, which makes mornings easier when you’re traveling with a dog and need to get going.

Location-wise, you’re right in the thick of Barstow’s commercial area. The outlet shopping is literally next door if that’s on your agenda, but you’re also well-positioned for hitting nearby desert attractions or continuing on I-15 toward Las Vegas or Los Angeles. The hotel sits on the main commercial strip, so it’s easy to find and easy to access from the freeway.

For dog owners passing through, the main appeal is straightforward: they allow dogs, the rooms are comfortable enough for a night’s stay, and the location means you’re not struggling to find your way around town. It’s the kind of place where you can pull in, settle your dog, grab a quick breakfast in the morning, and get back on the road. If you’re planning to spend a night in Barstow with your dog, calling ahead to confirm current pet policies and any applicable fees is a good idea before booking.
