Overall, this was a good place to stay. Because it was near the west entrance, most of the places were close to an hour away. Most places outside the park were also about an hour away to the park anyways. Most tent cabins had a driveway/parking space to park one's vehicle but my tent cabin #19 was the smallest and didn't have a dedicated parking spot. I had to park directly in front of my tent cabin. It was really cold and windy when I stayed. There was a hole with a flap on the roof of the tent that I wasn't able to keep closed so it was even colder at night. I should have asked if there was a way to keep it closed permanently.

What I liked best was its location. It's pricey, but in a remote area so your expectations need to be lowered. Rooms are clean but austere. Funniest part was the walls are so thin, a couple could be heard clearly having sex two rooms away! A long session at night and a quickie in the morning. 😃 No TV, AC, space heaters only, and no phone or WIFI unless you're in the restaurant. The restaurant staff is very nice but understaffed. I was with a group of 30 and we would overwhelm the staff at meal times leading to 90 to 120 minutes for a meal. Overall, it's quaint and picturesque but don't expect luxury.

Glamping only if you want to stay in a canvas tent and sleep on uncomfortable cots. No chairs, no tables, no electricity. Wifi only across the highway, which you sleep right next to. Tents are 6ft apart, so hope your neighbor is nice. Bathroom is nasty, Men's room flooded the morning we stayed. Good only for a quick stop. Great beer selection at the bar across the highway.

We were delighted with our choice to stay at Panamint Springs Resort. The cabin was extremely clean. The furnishings were simple and done in good taste. We appreciated the woodwork and all of the features using wood trim. The bed was super comfortable and we were grateful for terrific pressure and hot water in the shower. I highly recommend these accommodations!

This property is in an incredible location inside Death Valley National park. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The view from the place is incredible and the on-site restaurant had surprisingly some of the best food we had eaten in awhile and my grown kids are pretty demanding with their food. There is a gas station and Store also on the premises. Rooms are very basic and small, but I wasn’t there for fancy rooms but for the ambiance and proximity to the park.

We have stayed here twice. They accommodate all price ranges from a spot for your tent, a glamping tent, a cabin or a room. They are very friendly and helpful too. The showers are hot. the bathroom is kept clean and well stocked. The restaurant was a bit on the high side price wise, but you are in the middle of nowhere. I gave it 5 stars due to the people working there and the location too. It is a beautiful peaceful area.

This property was so bad that we left after the first night, even though we had already paid for two. Our room didn't even have a chair. No internet, no TV - I guess you could sit and read, but no chair. The rooms were not all numbered, so we had to count down to find our room. The door was very hard to open, which wasn't good when you were not actually sure it was the correct room. The food that we had in the restaurant was good, but the service was not.

This hotel is a dump, and that applies to the rooms and the property. The rooms are in a row of decaying shacks, and the property is well supplied with pieces of rusting, decaying equipment. The rooms are nearly bare—one outlet, no TV, no WiFi, no cell service, no chairs, no cups or glasses, no curtains, broken plastic blinds, crummy windows and door, thin blanket & no duvet. Oh, let’s not forget no heat, just a weak space heater. I’m guessing all the guests are first-timers, because who would ever come back twice?

The room was clean and nice. Not worth the price though. There is no internet or tv in the room. The room had a space heater but it was very cold. The power went out 4 times during the night. The fan in our room was wobbling n noisy. I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend it.

The room is no frills which is what we needed. Bedding and bathroom were very clean. The motel is located about an hour's plus drive from most of the sites in the National Park. The staff were very kind. The adjoining restaurant is pretty spendy. My husband and I had avocado toast with egg for breakfast and coffee = $52 w/out tip.

Beautiful setting, convenient patio.
I loved this location. I stayed in a cabin (#18) and found a very, very clean accommodation with a comfortable bed, a well-equipped little bathroom and a metal fenced patio with a gate and great views! Since I was traveling with my dog, I thought the patio was about the most convenient thing I have ever seen in an accommodation. My only complaints are: when the duplex neighbors arrived, it was super noisy while they were settling in (it has adjoining doors, so it could all be rented by a family or friends and that would help) and inside it would be nice if there was a chair -- any small one would do. Otherwise -- excellent. It might be hard to find your site in the dark -- best to arrive in daylight.

This property was excellent considering that it’s located in Death Valley. My family and I had everything we needed. Everything was clean and the employees were friendly. There is no WiFi in the rooms, but as I said, we’re in the middle of nowhere so that’s to be expected.

Knowing that the hotel rooms are very limited in Death Valley, and i is better than camping. If there are not much differences in room rates, try the Inn or Ranch at Death Valley first.
