The Inn at Death Valley – Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent

"This property, without qualification was a tremendous surprise to both of us. Some of the review were not very complimentary. After having stayed here, we don’t’ have any idea what they were talking about. Every single aspect of the stay exceed our expectations and will bring us back"

Amargosa Opera House

8/10 Good

"The motel is located very close to Death Valley National Park. However, the mattresses were extremely soft, and some bathroom tiles were coming off. Additionally, the tap water felt like it needed treatment. This property would be a great business opportunity if the owner undertook a major upgrade while preserving its 100-year heritage."
