The Ranch At Death Valley

The swimming pool itself was really great. Finally a hotel pool that really is swimmable for lap swimming. If there had been a lane rope to divide it he pool for swimmers it would have been even better. Great location just a short drive from Badwater Basin. The check out staff were really helpful and gave us some great advice on the best and most scenic route toward Las Vegas.

I read a lot of reviews no good, but I can confirm the good quality about location, room, cleanliness, tranquillity. Obviously it does not exist a bar where in the morning you can have a normal breakfast; you have to go at General store and buy one cappuccino, some muffin, some pastries, one orange juice, pay the cashier, and look for one place to sit (out) and have your breakfast... and for dinner you don't find lobster and grilled snapper with champagne: you are in Death Valley, and burger and bier it's ok! My golf game lasted beyond the scheduled time, so I asked to reception a late check out (from 11 to 12.30). OK! And when I gave the key of my room at 13.15, they asked me if the golf was good! Very friendly!!!

The ranch is practically an oasis in sunny Death Valley. It's located centrally with easy access to practically every attraction in the area - We were able to check all items on our to-go list! The property is vast and the rooms are comfortable without being plush, there are plenty of food options and a convenience/ souvenir store inside. Check-in was quite fast and easy.

Location is the best thing about his hotel and was worth paying extra. Hotels outside the park are VERY far away over desolate landscape. Overall clean and comfortable and nicer than I expected. We prepared and brought our own food to avoid the crowds and expense of the local market and restaurant. Same on gas - we filled the tank before arriving. Our room had a small outside space backing to green grass - there were nice rockers to relax in and appreciate the view and warmth. The pool looked nice but we didn't use it.

I loved it all. The weather cooperated and was comfortable (90) for DV. The room with the patio and chairs outside! The only thing I would have liked to be different was the bright light at the end of the building. When I stepped out to look at the stars, though it didn’t shine on me it was pointed out not down so it obscured my view of the night sky a bit and DV is promoted as a clear sky area.
