    The rooms were dated and didn’t feel clean. The AC unit spewed out air that smelt incredibly musty, indicating mold or mildew which isn’t the safest.

    One of the few hotels in Death Valley, decent location to explore the rest of the NP and the grounds felt like an oasis in the middle of the desert.

    Front desk staff appeared to be rather indifferent to sundry clients waiting to check in. I eventually went to another person at the front desk and all went smoothly.

    Excellent location, beautiful grounds, swell 1849 buffet, comfortable room with AC and fridge, large warm pool really was the icing on the cake.

    It was dirty in the rooms. Even when we first arrived, the bathroom floor had stains like it hadn't been mopped in a while. The hallway on the way to the rooms was very dirty. For the price, it could have been cleaner. Also the food was very expensive. The rooms were roomy and partly remodeled, but some things were almost falling apart

    Location was very good. The outside grounds were very well taken care. Good amount of amenities.

    Carpet old. Cost was not something ordinary families will bear easily, so the mission of having the park accessible for most Americans will not be met with these prices. Breakfast and other items pricey, even considering location. Front desk staff least extending of all staff, not the best first impression.

    Breakfast was good. Grounds were terrific, safety and quiet were wonderful. Setting, recreation availability was very good. Room was very clean, booking process was easy.

    We arrived after the sunset on the nearby sunset spot, checked in, and then discovered the restaurants were no longer accepting diners! Except the buffet restaurant, which was not good quality food, but passable.

    The property was really an Oasis in the desert. We appreciated the gardens and the pool area very much.

    The noise of the air conditioner was too much, especially from adjacent rooms. My main problem, as a vegetarian, was that there was very little on offer in the restaurants or in the shop.

    The location and the layout were excellent.

    No way to drive your car to the room so we had to drag our stuff to/from the parking lot, it was quite inconvenient; Pool was not cleaned, the bottom looked quite dirty and for a nice place like that you pay top dollar, it would be so much better had they cleaned it fully.

    It is a nice oasis. We stayed at the cottages and that was nice with the living room space separate from the bedrooms. Felt very nice. Might be work upgrading to cottages instead of regular rooms. Pool water temps were great so you can take a swim in the evening hours and enjoy it. Close driving distance to any famous spots in Death Valley. Saloon food was better than expected. Based on reviews, I expected the worst and it was not bad. Enjoyed the ribs and very crispy fries.

    We found a cockroach in the room and the room was generally looking a bit tired and in need of a refurb. The price per night didn’t reflect the quality of the room.

    Great location to make a pit stop through Death Valley to Las Vegas. Great steak at the saloon bar.
