Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a lovely place with charming vintage-style rooms and comfortable beds; however, the absence of blankets was a bit odd. The service, although offering tours and ticket assistance, could be more attentive. The dining options include street food that is served on-site.
This hotel is exceptionally close to the Death Valley park, and although the rooms are furnished with vintage pieces and have comfortable beds, the bathrooms are not so nice, and for some odd reason, there are no blankets on the beds. The service was decent, offering tours and ticket assistance. However, the dining options were limited, but they served what might be considered the best steaks. The location is unparalleled, right by the desert, and within a decade or so from Death Valley park with an exceptionally close proximity to the national park. The facilities are sufficient, offering what you might expect for a stay in this area.
The hotel has a charming vibe with its vintage furniture in some rooms, although there could be an improvement with the lack of blankets on the bed. The bed itself is comfortable, but the bathrooms are not up to par. The service includes tour and ticket assistance. Overall, a mixed experience with room amenities.
