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…

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 Some photos shown are very out of date and misleading.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 staff was very friendly and helpful, but the property was in extreme disrepair. I was afraid some crumbling plaster over our bed was going to fall on me during the night. There were few outlets. The concrete on the walkway to the room was crumbling and dangerous. I don’t know how this properly could pass an inspection. There were few amenities. On the plus side the air conditioning worked well.

With the building being around a hundred years old, you should set your expectations accordingly. We would call it rustic. Biggest down-side is the plumbing. We had to run the hot water between 30 minutes to get the water hot enough for a shower. The front desk person was very friendly though and seems quite passionate about the history of the place.

This may not be the place for the snobby, but if you have an open mind and love quirky this is a cool place. It's an old building and has had some trouble from Mother nature lately but it has a charm to it. It has some quirky plumbing tricks but once you have the hot water dialed in the shower feels great after several days of desert camping. It's quiet at night and the bed was comfortable. Next time I will make time for the tour which I hear is real interesting.

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.

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.

The place is exceptional, with an interesting history. Unfortunately the building is in very bad conditions, it gets flooded during heavy rains and it badly needs some basic maintenance works. We still liked our stay because of a kind welcome, very nice people at the reception and the unique history of the place (we took a guided tour to visit the theater). The twe queen room was spacious enough for a couple with two kids. Besides, the position is very close to the Death Valley park. So we recommend it to those tourists who are not afraid of its run-down appereance.

It’s a historic building on the National registry. When planning your visit you need to be aware of this. The building is over 100 years old, and subject to the extreme desert conditions. We found it charming. The room and bathroom was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the sheets were great. The only downside was that we arrived after a flooding and in the common area was a musty smell, but not in the room. The employees were very friendly and very informative! We were unable to take a tour of the opera house; however, my relatives had and recommended it, which we plan to do on our next trip there.
