OVERPRICED/POOR SERVICE

Upon arrival we waited quite a while to check in. No valet or signs on where to park for check in so people arriving all looked confused and only one staff in town hall. Staff lady had terrible hospitality and slide a map to us and said enjoy your stay. Very cold, not welcoming at all. When we got to the room, we tried to call front desk to figure out where the microwave was on the property and no body answered. Even tried calling on my phone and with the room phone, kept ringing. Building 700 smelled like a hospice home. At the pool somebody came by and told us he’s closing the pool and we needed to leave, we looked at the time and it was not even closing time yet. It was about 10 minutes until closing and the staff was acting as if we needed to leave immediately. It’s so over priced but I guess when you’re in Death Valley anything is fine which is why they probably get away with poor service. Wouldn’t recommend or go back.

Nice Stay in Death Valley

Was told we had to stay overnight to see the stars! So we did. Heads up - we did receive advance warning that the power was going to be out in the area from 8-4. OK we were touring around and probably wouldn't get to the Ranch until 4:00 so no problem. BUT - we got there about 4:30pm in 95 degrees and no power!! People were milling around trying to stay cool. No communication from the staff about places to go for relief. Just signs on the door that now 5:00pm was the projected electricity turnon. If not on by 6:00pm we would have to evacuate. WHAT??? Where to?? We learned from another guest the clubhouse was serving and had AC. We headed over and ate dinner - which was good - big portions and hung out. FINALLY at 5:45pm the electricity came back on. Sure they apologized but no small compensation for the inconvenience was offered. Not even free breakfast coupon!! The grounds are nicely kept. There's a pool (high chlorine levels), pickleball, BB, ice cream parlor, General Store, restaurants and a post office. The room was nice, bed comfortable and the place was clean.

Its ok considering the location

Its in the middle of death valley so I'm aware the conditions will make it hard to keep high standards, but we were disappointed with the very noisy a/c through the night, tiny bugs crawling all over the sideboard and sewer smell in the corridor. My dad had to move rooms as his bathroom smelt so bad. Having said that, the pool is lovely and the buffet dining reasonably priced.

This resort truly is a tropical oasis! The swimming pool, museum railroad cars and historic structures are amazing! The breakfast and dinner buffet is a wonderful way to begin and end your day! This resort is in Death Valley National Park.

Convenient location to popular Death Valley hikes. The pool is the perfect temperature and it's fantastic that it is open late enough to take advantage of after a long day in Death Valley. Everyone was friendly and appreciated the free ice water available in multiple locations.

Great location inside Death Valley National Park. Also very good steakhouse in the saloon. Negatives: very packed to the point of overwhelming a exremely friendly staff. Lines at check in and ice cream store were tough for some families with small children. But the ice cream was worth it as were the food arnrestaurants on site. Great view of mountains and a nice town square park.
