10/10 Exceptional

Really great opportunity to stay in a historic building and to learn about a beautiful life. As they state plainly on their website, staying here is a rustic experience--there are exposed pipes, no TV (although there is wifi), and parts of the hotel have a funny smell. But it is a 100+ year old building that has endured many punishing desert summers and cold winters. It is not the Ritz-Carlton--don't come here if that's what you're after. However, my fiancee and I felt enriched learning the story of Marta Beckett and having a tour of the old opera house. Her life is inspiring, as described in the 2000 movie "Amargosa". We intend to return and we would recommend the hotel to anyone adventurous enough to sacrifice a little on amenities in order to have a truly unique experience.

Historical but may be better as a replica
We stayed here about 15 years ago when Marta was alive and performing. It was a unique and quirky experience we still talk about. However, Marta has passed, and as a hotel, the Amargosa has had some problems including flood damage. The plumbing, as noted on many signs, is 100+ years old, but the fixtures are also old. Our shower could only give hot or cold water - not warm, because it was a split tap and no shower wand. I ended up not being able to wash my hair and ran a partial bath instead. But it was time-consuming and rather unpleasant. The bed was very comfortable and they had a new A/C unit which did a great job. The staff was friendly and the common areas had amenities like microwave and toaster so that we were able to have a late supper. Overall, I suspect it will take a lot more money to repair and keep the Amargosa going than to create a replica. If you're young and want a fun story to tell about your adventures, stay here. But if you need more safety and comfort features, this may not be your best option.

Friendly but smelly.
We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and given keys and directions to our room. The good bits were that there was a direct door outside that could only be opened from the room but this was useful for getting luggage in and out. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The facilities in the main area of the building were great with a fridge/freezer, a microwave, lovely cold or hot water for drinking and there were also books to read or dvd's to watch if you so wished. The bad bit was that there was a warning about the plumbing being old but our noses picked this up immediately in not only our bathroom but in the corridor too. It was such a shame as the location was perfect for exploring Death Valley without the huge prices of Furnace Creek. If the plumbing odours could be fixed then I would definitely recommend this quirky place to stay.

The very poor condition of the property, the smell like feces, and the gutter open, no proper drainage system

The hotel provides only the basics: clean linen, comfortable beds and functioning hot-cold water supply. It charges a price that is about 50% higher than similar grade motels. The building and its environment give people a derelict impression. At first sight I was very unhappy about my choice and the info provided by Hotels.com However after knowing a little bit about the place I come to realize that we are in fact residing in a real ghost town (not just visits to touristic ghost towns). Moreover by staying there we contribute to the conservation work of the 100-year old building which otherwse would get no funding. With this thought in mind, we thought that the 50% more that we paid are good value for money. Afterall visitors to the tough Death Valley should be ready to endure some inconvenience.

For a quick night to stay as a spot to kick off your trip into Death Valley, good value for money.

People who stay should know this is an old creeky hotel with little features. No in-room coffee, no TV, no fridge, etc. Musty and dusty. Wall A/C is noisy. There is WiFi thank gawd. Bare bones place just outside of Death Valley. Pet friendly.

A little run down, and a little creepy at night that’s what made it kind of fun and different. Room was comfortable, and it worked for the need

Our stay here was such an adventure. If you love history and the desert, make sure you stay a night here! Yes, the building is super old and not the most updated, but the rooms, beds, and towels were clean and comfortable. We were literally the only people in the entire hotel that night (which was a little spooky but so fun) & we loved wandering around the halls, checking out the murals and artefacts all throughout the building. If you’re looking for somewhere unique to stay on your way into/out of Death Valley this place is perfect! It’s in a bit of a ghost town, so keep that in mind. It was the perfect resting place for the night for us though! Absolutely loved staying here and the staff was so kind. I just wish we would’ve had more time to do the tour and check out the actual opera house!

This is my 5th time visiting and staying here. It's a run down hotel in the middle of nowhere, but it always feels so peaceful and calm. I just love it. I took the tour again for the 5th time and this one was the best ever! The woman giving the tour had recently moved from Vegas and ended up giving the best tour I've ever had there. It was a wonderful experience and I slept very, very well. I will definitely return when I can.

It’s a hundred year old hotel that is slowly dying. It’s in constant repair. The draw is the history and the beautiful opera house. Marta Becket created wonderful murals thru out the hotel and the whole opera house. A piece of history that needs to be kept.
