The Ranch at Death Valley California 190, Death Valley, CA 92328

"I loved this place so much, I flew home to England, waited a week and flew back! Ok, it was also for the National Park too, but The Ranch is a lovely place to stay for a few days. There’s a nice selection of rooms, from the stand alone cottages, the quality option, to the more basic block style rooms. There’s also the deluxe Queen rooms. I tried them all, the cottages are by far the best."

"There are only a couple of lodging options inside of Death Valley National Park, and this one is pretty good. Rooms were spacious and clean. There's no housekeeping during your stay, though. The beds were comfortable. All rooms have a deck or patio. The grounds are beautiful, and being right in the park is very convenient for hiking. The spring-fed pool was lovely. There are a couple of restaurants on the property, but keep your expectations low. You may want to bring your own dry goods and cold snacks, and you will be happier (there is a refrigerator, but no microwave)."

"Very convenient location. Nice hotel. Made a trip during high (45+ mph) winds much more comfortable. Would definitely stay here again- especially if I got a good price. Had some issues during check-in but the staff helped resolve them quickly. Comfortable room. Nice spring pool to swim in."

"A beautiful place and one of the only hotels near death valley national park. Pricey but it is worth it if in the area. We did NOT stay here and wow, we regret it - because it would have been AWESOME. We came for the bike rentals on site, the restaurant at the golf course (decent), and to have a place to wander around after hiking that wasn't the crowded Death Valley visitor center. It was a great place to hang out and relax even if you are not a guest. It even has a pool (for guests) but open access basketball, mini golf, a food shop, some local shops for gifts and more, a playground, and a museum."

"Our 2 night stay at the Ranch was a huge disappointment except for the golf and sightseeing. We stayed in building 600, 2nd floor in a double queen room; dined at both the Inn and Saloon, played golf, and did a bit of sightseeing. Room: deadbolt on door did not work, several doors exhibited large areas of chipped paint, the sink had no stopper, the caulk was coming off the shower over tub, toilet very low, beds sagged, no blankets, and no housekeeping. The building and halls were clearly in need of repair. Overall not what one expects in a room for $225+-/night. General store: expect to be price gouged. $9 for an egg salad sandwich with tiny bits of egg between the bread slices. $5 for a large (ordinary) black coffee. Lots and lots of shockingly high prices. Buffet: expect to be price gouged. $21 for an ordinary self service breakfast buffet. Inn and Saloon dining: expect to be price gouged. ordinary entrees of meat, fish, chicken generally $40-$50+. 5oz glass of ordinary wine $14 to $16. Service good at the Inn, so-so at the Saloon. Mixed verdict on the food ... some good, some not so good. Furnace Creek golf: expect a wonderful experience once you get past trying to find the pro shop or a restroom anywhere on the course (there are none so be sure to empty your bladder before teeing off). We are average golfers accustomed to playing a range of courses. The green fees are reasonable and the course was not busy. The grass fairways are tree lined and wide open, the greens are fair, and the scenery is nothing short of awesome. The ancient carts have no windscreens which can make for a chilly ride. Sightseeing: the geology is nothing short of awesome. You simply have to experience Death Valley to believe it. We give it ten stars."
