I only booked this place because it was the closest to Death Valley National Park. If you don't need to be close, I recommend Pahrump, NV.

Overall good

We booked with Amargosa because of its interesting history and proximity to DVNP. The receptionist was very helpful and kind. Our room was clean and comfortable as well. The plumbing at Amargosa is as old as the building however. So that’s about 100 years. We noticed a pretty strong sewer smell in the hallway but not in our room. Also if we had wanted to shower we’d have had to keep the water running for 15 minutes before it got hot- and especially in the desert that just didn’t feel right. Overall it was a good experience though.

Wonderful Night Manager, but Very Poor Hotel

First I want to say that the wonderful young woman who checked me in was stellar. She was so nice, friendly, and welcoming. I hate giving bad reviews, however, the condition of the hotel is very poor, the water coming from the shower head was barely a trickle, there was a smell of raw sewage in the hallway and in our bathroom that literally made me a bit sick to my stomach, and the condition of walls esp around the base were quite deteriorated as if it had been damaged by flooding. Given the condition of the rooms, poor shower, strong smell of raw sewage I am surprised it passes California State inspections. There was supposed to be coffee but was none. There was no fridge, microwave, cups for water in the rooms as well. The heater/AC unit was in good condition and was fairly quiet. Bed was good and the sheets were clean with good pillows. The good about the hotel is that it is fairly near an interesting Death Valley National Park and is much less expensive than the accommodations in the park.

Just don’t

The location itself is very old. It’s over 100 years old. Normally this is my kind of thing. I don’t mind peeling paint. I don’t mind it being rough around the edges. I love the solution. I love the idea of this place. Unfortunately, it was subpar on almost all levels. And that saying a lot, I love an historical stay, which is why I chose this place to begin with. But the smell that permeated the whole place, the halls, the rooms, the linen, the pillows. The furniture was a brawl sewage. Do not stay here till corrections have been made. The only reason we stayed is it is in the middle of nowhere. We got there about 9 o’clock and there is a little around for options.

Already ready for my next stay here!

Rooms were clean and well-maintained. The hotel itself is charming and the staff was very kind. Take the tour if you can and learn more about Marta Beckett and the history of the hotel! The surrounding desert was nice to walk in as the sun rose. Some of the rooms were hand painted by Beckett and I got lucky enough to be in one!

Pros for property about 25 min into death valley furnace creek. Wonderful warm duvet in February. Loved the art work and history. Great staff. Cons: unsafe electrical outlet in room 24. Room heat/airconditioner which was next to double bed ran constantly to keep room comfortable. Lack of onsite restaurant and casino 7 miles had terrible food. Sewage smell.

An interesting museum, NOT recommended as a hotel.

Not sure how the authorities let this property operate. It is literally crumbling to dust (as was the intent in the Trust of the historic owner). Plumbing is ancient (instructions to run the hot water for 15 minutes if you actually want hot water), carpet may be original, stucco is crumbling inside and out, no staff on premises after 8 pm. The bed WAS clean; the shower, due to crumbling tile---not so much. The positives are the historic interest, the "Opera" House and the artistic talent of the eccentric owner Marta Becket (who painted all of the murals on the property). The closest restaurant or food market is 7 miles away. All this should qualify the property as a museum, not a hotel. If my wife was with me, I'd be divorced.

I absolutely loved my 2 night stay here for the Death Valley half-marathon. It was such a curious and cute little hotel, so charming and full of character. Check in went flawlessly, and I appreciated that the heating in the rooms was cranked up because it was winter! The hotel was very quiet and calm and the bed was very comfortable. The only possible issue was that the wifi barely worked, but I didn't mind, because I was trying to unplug in nature anyway. Highly recommend anyone looking for an affordable stay near Death Valley national park to check this place out. I will be back in the future!

The intent of my trip was to take a tour of the opera house so so stayed at the hotel. At check in I was assured the tour would take place at 9am in morning. At 9am I went to the front desk and the staff stated the tour was canceled as it was too cold. After a 7 hour car drive to Death Valley I feel Expedia mis represented what I needed to make a rational buying decision. The mold and terrible conditions would have been tolerable if the opera tour was available. I have been a loyal customer to Expedia and a discount or voucher for next trip would be nice
