Very nice property middle of the deserted area. I was very skeptical after reading all the reviews, but I’m glad I stayed in this hotel. Most of the reviews was done when this hotel was going thru construction period. If you’re from U.S. just book this hotel it will meet your standards. PROS * Salt flat is 1 mile away * All the hotel amenities are available * If you’re into pictures lots of cool spots to take pictures inside the hotel. * Dinner was amazing specially quinoa soup. CONS * Due to hotel made of salt a distinguish odor smell when you walk into room and hallways but it goes away after min or two. * Summer time room can be very hot in the daytime may need to have a fan which was given to us without asking even tho we stayed in this hotel beginning of the summer. * Bathroom flash wasn’t working properly after using the toilet we had a wait long period of time to flash it again. ( Just remember you’re in a deserted area ) * When anyone takes shower water comes out of the glass door and makes the full bathroom very messy but if you leave a towel in the floor it solve the problem. Verdict If I come back to this area again I’d choose this hotel any day. Book this hotel without any hesitations.

Hotel itself is the highlight, nothing around
the hotel itself is the highlight, the hotel and many beautiful decorations are made with salts and salt blocks, do spend some time both in daytime and at night to take some pictures! otherwise, the hotel is near nothing, there’s nothing around. we attempted to walk 30mins towards the salt flats, and it’s a waste of time, there’s nothing close to clear white salt grounds or water pools with mirrow effect near the hotel. from our later tour experience, its like 15-30mins DRIVE distance to get any nice area of the salt flat. So, do not expect to be able to walk over to the salt flats and see anything spectacular. Remember to book dinner in advance or when you check in, as there are nothing around. Nice rooms, warm showers, and nice window with a open view towards the salt flat side.

Very cold in winter
The heat system starts after it is already cold. And it takes a long time for the room to get warm. The shower is not hot, so we couldn't take off our jacket for all day. We prefer to bringing warm clothes.
