Staff and property were great. Lack of dining options was disappointing. Signage for registration and parking need improvement
If you want to visit and stay in Death Valley, you can either stay at the Ranch or the Inn at Death Valley. They are both located near the best hiking in the entire park. If you stay outside the park, you will have a very long drive to get to these beautiful hiking and scenic areas. The only negative comment is that the dispensers for soaps, shampoos, etc were not filled up for us.
The grounds around the ranch are beautiful, the outdoor museum interesting, the shopping was good, snd the steakhouse was authentic.
It beats camping, we were in the cheap seats, but it was good value for the money. Group of us - brought our own food crockpots and a microwave. Hiking was spectacular, but dining options were expensive and not stunning. But the location cannot be beaten for exploring the valley
Excellent location in Death Valley. Almost all one would need available in walking distance for a visit to the park. Price of lodging and food higher as expected.
I was surprised how much I like staying here. We normally do not stay in National Park hotels; we prefer to stay outside the park and drive in each day. We really had no choice here since hotels were very far away. Even though the room was a little bit more expensive than a standard hotel, we were pleasantly surprised. The overall place had a very good feel, all the staff we talked to were friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring Death Valley N.P. Like other reviews said, the food there is quite expensive so we brought our own and warmed it at the General Store as the rooms do not have microwaves. This is the only reason I did not rate a 5 because for remote locations like this they should have a microwave in each room for their guests' convenience. Other than that, the room was very good and the ground were beautiful to walk around in the morning before heading to the park.
A nice place to stay in Death Valley, but the prîces are very high in the restaurant
Great location and the facilities were in excellent condition. I would highly recommend this resort.
DISAPPOINTED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!! Expected better quality, service, and experience for the price of this place. The room is cozy, if you enjoy being inside a coffin. Homeless shelters have a better menu selection than their buffet and the entrees are subpar. The Oasis Shoppe is the only kudos I'll give to this place and that's because they had sandwiches and fruit available to purchase to wash down the awfulness of the buffet. Again, overpriced, but it's a hotel convenience store, afterall... Gilligan's Island is looking pretty posh.
Location is great. Food is terrible.
Ritz Carlton price, Motel 6 experience. Shower curtain covered in pink mould, Spartan amanities, no tissues, no microwave even though there is no food in the park except your exorbitantly priced restaurant. $29 for the worst buffet ever, dried spaghetti, no meat, dried lima beans. Gas $8.09, even though it's $2 less at Stovepipe Wells, then a $22 "resort" fee on top of that. Ripoff. I want my resort fee refunded.
The food could be better especially if charging that much.
Didn't do anything but sleep there , so have no opinion on amenities/services, but the room was clean, and the beds comfortable. It's all about location, which was excellent.
New management has neglected the property. The food selection is unhealthy and very much over priced. This property has lost its appeal.
Great location.
The night before I was told could probably check-in between 2:30-3 so I adjusting my hiking day. As I used ORBITZ, same man who I talked to the previous night said I had to wait until 4pm. Because I had a sunset hike, I did not get back to room until 10 pm and awoke again 6am for sunrise hike. A lot of money for 10 hours but couldn't have done the 2 hike if I did not stay there.
Pro: Good location. Cons: Room was outdated, bathroom was dirty & smelly. They jacked up food prices. Be prepared to pay $19 for a hot dog! 2.5/5 overall.
