The history here is incredible. Really beautiful and isolated hotel about 35-45m drive from major spots in Death Valley. We took a tour of the Opera House and hotel with Tammy who was incredible. Really loved the look and feel of the hotel.

This place and its history is very cool! Being able to stay in a place with so much history, isn’t something you have the opportunity to do very often. With that being said, it is old and very quirky and definitely more on the lines of roughing it. If you can appreciate a cool piece of history and want to stay close to Death Valley it does the job…

This is an historic hotel that hasn’t been updated throughout any point in history. This makes it quaint and cute. It does mean, however, that the rooms are old and historic too. Tile in the bathroom was falling apart, carpet was rough, we had to wipe lots of dirt off of the bed comforter. Just know going in, it’s old and needs lots of attention. Staff is super friendly, great proximity to Death Valley National Park.

It’s historic, which means it’s old. Staff was nice, beds were clean, interesting history. Needs some serious updates and maintenance. Nothing much around it for food.

No TV, coffee pot or microwave in rooms, only at front lobby common area. Rooms clean, bed was good, plenty of hot water, some things like bathroom sink replaced, but over-all the building is very old and falling apart. Some photos shown are very out of date and misleading. If you just need a place to sleep and a shower, it's okay, and if you can get in on the Opera House tour, it is very interesting.

The Opera House is not where you go if youre looking for in room massages. Its a historical building made of adobe with a unique back story that excuses its sometimes flaky exterior. You stay here for history. You stay here for the unique experience. The entrance to Death Valley is literally a block away, making this a hikers dream. The wild donkeys come to drink next to the back of the property in the morning. The staff are some of the friendliest around. The rooms have a bed and a hot shower, theres a microwave and a plethera of games, as well as a book nook. And an experience you cannot get at the soulless modern hotel. Make sure you take the tour if youve never heard of Miss Marta.

This was a convenient pick for us because other lodgings in Death Valley were busy during the holidays. We were nervous about other reviews that said the walls were thin, but we took a risk for two nights, especially because they are dog-friendly! Pros: good location, super friendly staff, cozy vibes, our heat worked, our hot water was great even with a wait. Cons: old towels that had thread falling apart, bed was a bit stiff, cold air came in through the space on the door Neutral: communal space

Good location. Very friendly and helpful staff. The topography poses a problem as the ground water in the winter rises because the valley is far below, sea level. This creates a very muddy encounter in the middle of death Valley. Glad the hotel was there, history very interesting. Beautiful setting.
