Top Badwater Hotel Reviews

Amargosa Opera House

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay in this historic hotel.. im glad we stayed here and our experience was amazing.."

Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel - Inside The Park

10/10 Excellent

"Very good stuff and the management. In particular what I like is how they dealt with the situation of their ice vending machine failure due to heat. Instead of blaming it on weather and asking people to just buy ice, they themselves probably bought packets and were giving it for free to people. This reflects the attitude of the management. Location is of course amazing if you want to do stargazing. However, the restaurant didn't have any vegetarian food options."
