Top Hotels Near Death Valley National Park in from AU$118

"I’m in my late 50’s and have no children. At my age and traveling alone I can tolerate a lot. But this property was not very well maintained. I know they must respect the night sky and limit light pollution, so be warned when you walk the grounds at night bring a flashlight! They have zero-night lighting. Plus, driving around the campus was difficult because there is very little traffic signage giving proper direction. The parking striping has faded, and it was difficult to navigate the roads. They can place reflectors on the pavement that will illuminate the road path when the headlights shine on them. That would help illuminate the road but do not give off light pollution. During breakfast no one at the restaurant was managing the buffet. They ran out of fruit, eggs and sausage. They also ran out of coffee during breakfast! That can’t happen. No one was bussing the tables. Half the tables were not available because of someone else’s dirty dishes. I stayed in building six (6). The hallway smelled like a basement. The room was fine, but they need to clean the full-length mirror and pay attention to the those kind of details. The bathroom was also fine. The towels were old and were not soft. The Tavern was nice. The Post Office was difficult to find. They had people driving around on golf carts. I’m not sure if it was a taxi service or not. No one offered me a lift. "

"This review is for the Standard Room. In retrospect, I should have chosen the Deluxe Room, which looks nicer in the pictures. The location of the hotel is great right inside Death Valley National park. The room was clean, but older. The shower was very good and the air conditioner worked well. The small TV worked OK. The staff were all very helpful. The restaurant was convenient and pretty good. There are not a lot of restaurant choices inside the park. The mattress was very soft and after three days my back was aching. There is a refrigerator in the room, but no microwave or coffee maker. Overall, it was better than I expected for an older motel inside the park. "

"Great hotel choice at about 40 minutes from Furnace Creek Visitor Center"

"I understand that this a "historic" motel... However, nothing was said when I made my reservation that I would have to let the water trickle for 15 minutes in order to have hot water in the shower... As far as having hot water in the bathroom sink, that never happened... The heater was not working properly and I had to request a space heater. The room was very clean, however. What was surprising in this hotel and in the room was the number of "don't do" signs and penalties you would incur if you didn't comply. I understand that this kind of signs are necessary, but there were so many of those that I was almost afraid to sleep in the bed! Inside the motel in the hallway, there was a bucket collecting water from the leaking pipes on the ceiling... The exterior of the hotel was very dusty. If they want us to run the shower for 15 minutes, then they sure do have enough water to spray with a hose the immediate outside grounds! Parking was ample and safe."

"Amazing resort. "

"We had a great stay at the Desert Retreat. So very quiet and comfortable - beds were just right and communication with the host went smootly.The perfect place to unwind after a busy day in Death Valley. We like to cook and found all we needed to prepare meals and the outdoor grill was perfect. We travel to DV often and will book again on our next visit."

"Perfect camping experience without all the work "

"Was suprised how nice and clean it was. Coffee only available in the lobby. No breakfast."

"The host was great and very welcoming. Went above and beyond to help us out by making us some food because we were arriving late at night. Even the breakfast was delicious. Gave us a b&b feel. The second bedroom did not have a shower even though listing said otherwise but it wasn't a big deal. It was a great experience and had a lot of fun talking to Sunny! Will definitely go back there!"
