Barksdale Inn

We just traveled across the eastern part of the country and stayed at multiple bases. This one was a mixed bag. Google Maps directions were totally a mess sending us to the wrong gates and then to Dominos Pizza. Guidance from staff was a bit lacking on this. Getting to the base, the gate, the lodging, the parking, and then the room was way more confusing than any other base we’ve stayed on. It wasn’t straightforward, but the staff seemed not to realize that. The room was clean, but had an overwhelming scent that was likely covering something else. The handles on the vanity were all rusted and there was a bit of mildew(?) on the legs of the nightstand. The grounds are lovely though with beautiful mature trees and adorable houses surrounding the lodging. They also have a huge static display

Better than most AF billeting. It is a bit aged and needs updating but perfectly acceptable.

I suppose it's what I expected, but not in a good way. No elevators. It's the year 2024 and sometimes people carry luggage. No vents in the bathrooms. Extremely dated. Extremely minimal sheets on the bed, so you better hope it doesn't get chilly. No extra blankets. Even if you ask for an extra blanket, which a real hotel would provide, they refuse to go to the minimal effort to provide it. No soundproofing. You hear everything from the flight line. At least there's a bed, but if you can't sleep in it because the flight line is constantly whining, what's the point? Simply not worth the stay. Go to a real hotel.

I had a flight at 0600 the day I checked out and realized on the way to the airport that I had left my headphones in my room. I called, they immediately retrieved them and shipped them to my home. A+ customer service. Pleasant stay all-around

Barksdale Air Force Base was a planned stop on my return route to Florida from a visit to New Mexico. The bass is a historic gem in the Air Force and there is a lot of pride evident in all of the men and women who serve at Barksdale. No place is this more evident then at the Barksdale Inn. I phoned ahead to let them know I would be arriving later then expected and ask them if possible, to give me a first floor room because I was dealing with a knee injury. When I arrived at the front desk, they were polite, friendly, and very accommodating to my special needs. The room was splendid and very comfortable. The bathroom was large and everything was recently remodeled and in excellent condition. The bed felt great and there was no end to the selection of channels on the cable TV in the room. Th
