Top Death Valley Hotel Reviews

Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel - Inside The Park

8/10 Good

"Check-in experience was weird.. given the wrong room number on key card and a completely different incorrect room circled on the map. Normally NBD, but we half unloaded our car in the 100 degree heat and walked around to both incorrect rooms. Was frustrating. If I stayed here again, I would make sure my key card and map match when checking in. Restaurant had delicious food and great service. We went after the kitchen shut down (9:20pm on a Monday night) and they still accommodated us with easy to make options. Fish and chips were yum! Everything was reasonably priced as well! We weren’t told about the ice machine not existing closest to our place, but a sweet groundskeeper helped us find the other one. <3 Generally, I liked it here and would stay again if ever back in DVNP!"

The Ranch at Death Valley – Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent

"There are limited options of places to stay in the Death Valley area so finding the Ranch at Death Valley was definitely the best option! It had everything we needed - a nice comfortable room (we stayed in the cottages), breakfast for a fee in the morning, or pastries and coffee, a small store with drink and snack options and two fun stores to buy souvenirs. There was also an ice cream shop that we didn't get to try. The property was beautiful and the old west theme was carried throughout. We enjoyed our 4 night stay here and would recommend anyone staying in the area to stay here too!"
