Cottage was cute. Food was terrible at restaurant. Eat before you come. Nowhere else around there to eat. Loved the outdoor pool. Loved the historical monuments documenting Borax mining. Only 1 other place in area to stay. Don’t miss Zabinski Point at sunset!!!

For the remote location the property was fine, however there were some definite downfalls. The dining options were very limited and overpriced for the quality. The hotel room itself was very noisy. There seemed to be very little if any insulation between my room and the room above me. The shower water never got warm. Overall, to be fair, it was a comfortable bed in the middle of the desert. Just manage your expectations.

Most notably, had housekeeping shortage that led to 2.5 hr wait before we could check in. Room itself was plenty adequate. Had a pool and many facilities we didnt grt a chance to use but would have if we had more time. Food wasnt cheap but was good and had a nice ice cream parlor with a lot of choices, was a hit with the kids.

Lovely hotel, terrible service

We spent one night at this hotel. It’s located in the heart of Death Valley, a beautiful location. The rooms have recently been renovated and were cute little cottages. You can however hear the people next door like they are in the room with you. The hotel has a much needed swimming pool. We found the service at this hotel to be terrible. Check in was fine but when we went to our one bedroom cottage we found the sofa bed had not been made up nor had we been given enough bedding for it. I rung them at 7pm and by 10:30 we were still waiting. The front desk stopped answering our phone calls and could not help. So after paying for a room for 4 people we only had enough bedding 3 and they were not concerned about this. We went for dinner at the last saloon bar, this was fine until one of the waiters spilt a beer down my son’s back. Whilst this was an accident, no apology was received and I would have expected a least a free drink. When it came to check out at 10:45am reception was closed. Very bad customer service. It was a lovely hotel in a great setting just a shame the service was so bad.

Nice accommodation

Nice accommodation. Our room was in a block at the far end of the site which was quiet and overlooked the coyotes on the golf course. Room consisted of two double beds and bathroom with a patio area. Very nice. There were a few dining options on site which were quite expensive but given the isolated location, it was to be expected. Overall, a nice place to stay.

Overall it was a good stay. The service at the restaurants and bar weren't that great. There was minimal staff, long waits, and unrealistic expectations for receiving service. We were told our food would take 20 minutes to get out of the kitchen and it ended up taken just over an hour. Once received, it was the wrong order but it was so chaotic that we didn't care to complain and just left with what we had. The rooms were decent they could have been cleaner but they satisfied our requirement as we were only staying one night.

HOtel inside the park and next to all The famous spots and no microwave but fridge and coffee machine existed. Front desk staff not friendly and I got charged twice not sure for what reason and working with Expedia and hotel as check in and checkout was done timely. Lunch buffet was closed for season but other restaurants were open, which are costly but the accessibility of the park from this location is convenient. High end hotel but worth staying and worth the money if you want to avoid hassle of traveling back and forth if you couldn’t cover all the spots in one day.

This place was HOTTT. Arrived at night, and it was still baking hot. Outside of that, it has all the things you would need in a hotel/resor,t and it was nice how they had a natural spring-fed swimming pool and a museum. Would definitely stay there again if back in Death Valley.

We stayed at a cottage that conveniently had a washing machine. The store has much to offer if you are willing to pay a high price - exoected due to the location. Would stay again if the opportunity presents itself.
