The property definitely felt like roughing it, like it hadn't been updated in decades. I know they are trying to maintain the character, but really I just wanted a place close to the park to save me driving time.. The after hours check in was a bit stressful ... they only let me know there was no attendant after hours the morning of, but since I was in Death Valley NP, I had no signal and did not see the message. So I arrived and was stressed b/c I didn't think I would be able to get into my room. I also find it a little odd they don't let you fill up water bottles.

Whether or not you’ll like this hotel is based on one overriding question : can you tolerate an old, dingy property, and rooms in obvious disrepair, in the name of historical authenticity? I suspect people will either love or hate this place. I loved it, my wife hated it! There you go…

Odd, but charming. Wea Anderson fans will love it

Pity there are no marks for charm and singularity. This is just not your normal motel, nor is Amargosa hamlet,which is a photographer's. Staying there was a memorable experience for all sorts of good reasons. Boring and bland it is not. Bed comfy, aircon works. Shame windows don't open. Bring your own food, there's nothing around. Good jumping off for DV and just up the road from Shoshone and its wonderful museum. Watch the stars way out in the desert.

History

Rustic and historic. That’s what you’re booking. This place is in original condition and prides itself on it. There was a place in time where a facility such as this existed but has long disappeared because of technology and amenities. You are booking an experience not an amenity. This place is a destination within itself. Kudos for the owner’s belief that people will party for the experience. Rooms are clean, bed is clean but sparse. Again you’re there for the history. Don’t change a thing. Don’t you draw.

The staff was very warm and helpful. Our room was clean, good beds, clean towels and bedding. No TV. Spotty internet, but I think that is due to remote location. Old plumbing (very old.) The desk was manned 8-8, but often unattended. No food there, no coffee available til staff arrives at 8. This is a place with a beloved history that the local fans keep alive. But the property was run down. The hall was especially dank, carpet bad. The tour of the Opera house is supposed to be very worthwhile, according to other guests, but we could not attend. The hotel is 30min from the Death Valley entrance.

No dining nearby. Old, run-down, peeling paint and loose plaster, sewage smell, room pictures were deceiving, shower was just a trickle with inconsistent hot water. Some electrical outlets looked incomplete. The bed was fine.

This is an historical property trying to stay afloat. If you like an isolated, quiet, off-the-grid experience, this is for you. Tours of the Opera House twice a day were interesting. The dark night sky was a bonus!

This property was poorly advertised. They advertised dining on site and WiFi. Neither were available or working. The property was disgusting, run down and so dirty that I wouldn’t even shower. The plumbing was so poor they have signs everywhere to be careful. The locks were very flimsy and not safe.

More neglect than charm

Stayed over after ending our day in Death Valley NP. The staff seem to do the best they possibly can with this aging property. The check in was friendly. The room was as clean as it could be. The place likely had a charming rundown vibe going for it in 1966, but it has reached a further state of decline that replaces the charm with something closer to neglect. The property has a little museum display across the street for something that happened in 2018 for a dancer. There are other plaques from 1988 marking the history. So it clearly was a pet project for some boomer(s). They either need to seriously invest in upgrading some part of the property so that the stucco walls don't cave and the tile in the bathrooms isn't coming up; or they need to say farewell and end it all.

The room itself was clean enough, but there was a terrible smell in the hall way. Also, there was no staff in between 8pm to 8am next morning. Of course there was no morning coffee service until 8 am. Considering that, the price is way too high.

Older property but it was well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. Close to Nevada Border so we were able to get gas much cheaper and The Long Street Casino had a good restaurant. The hotel was not too far from Death Valley National Park. It was perfect for us.
