7.2/10 Good! (962 reviews)

The property definitely felt like roughing it, like it hadn't been updated in decades. I know they are trying to maintain the character, but really I just wanted a place close to the park to save me driving time.. The after hours check in was a bit stressful ... they only let me know there was no attendant after hours the morning of, but since I was in Death Valley NP, I had no signal and did not see the message. So I arrived and was stressed b/c I didn't think I would be able to get into my room. I also find it a little odd they don't let you fill up water bottles.
