Mengel Pass Tours

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.

Interesting historic property with impressive gardens given the location. Comfortable room and good facilities. Marred for me by an overly complex charging mechanism that seems to apply various seemingly random amounts to your card on a daily basis.

Great friendly staff
