There is not much if anything here but that is what you come here for. It's an old motel, with an amazing story, that could use a bit of TLC but the rooms are clean, the air conditioning works, and the water was hot in the shower. A great place to stay and show the photos to your friends.

A tiny historic town looking much the way it did 100 years ago. A tour of Marta Becket's murals in the Opera House is highly recommended; we can only hope that performances once again take place in this unique hall. The restaurant currently sits empty, so bring anything you want to eat with you. There is a refrigerator in the common area you can use to store some food.
The surrounding Armargosa Desert stretches out east, north, and south of the village as far as the eye can see. Amazingly, there is an aquifer deep underground fed by the Armargosa River (also underground at this point). So there are some ranches and tiny Nevada casino towns nearby (but not too nearby).
For more info about the Armargosa, visit the Armargosa Conservancy's website at armargosaconservancy dot org.

The information and warning to refuel before entering the National Park are true. The price of fuel in NP is really higher.
Stock up on plenty of water, the temperature is really high. Exertion in the heat will make up for the beauty that appears to be dead, but it is not.

It's close to the East entrance to Death Valley, which makes it a less expensive alternative to resort accommodations in the valley. It's also close to gas and food, which is just 7 miles away to the North, in Nevada (Nevada prices). Again, providing less expensive alternative to gas, and food in the valley.

I’ve struggled to answer the questions.
I’ve struggled to answer the questions. The answers to some were neither yes nor no, but “sort-of.” Overall, the charms may have outweighed the negatives, but there were negatives you’d have to be willing to overlook. questions

We like remote places and were looking for a base to start our Death Valley adventure with a twist - traveling from Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam. This quaint hotel proved to be a very good choice. It was interesting to learn the history of Marta Becket and her opera. Expect no frills and bring your own food. Enjoy the history. Play the piano in the dining room. The front desk staff had a strong customer focus and were extremely helpful. We will remember Armagosa Hotel very fondly.
Location was good, parking was in a designated area in full sun so not directly outside your room. Bed was a little firm but fresh clean sheets. Shower was OK but you have to wait 10-15 mins for the hot water to come through. Apparently only 1 boiler for entire hotel. Fresh drip coffee made in the lounge area at 8am each morning.. There is a fridge and microwave near the coffee for everyone to use. Cafe/restaurant not open.
This is a historical hotel, there's even a famous documentary about it. From outside it can look like the place it's not taken care of, but I guess that it is for maintaining the original building untouched because of its historical relevance. The inside is old but well taken care of, everything is clean and the beds were comfortable. Free coffee in the morning. Conveniently close to the Death Valley National Park.
quaintness and quirkiness of the whole establishment, its historic character, the old photos and murals (even though they were peeling!), the ability to have tea constantly and coffee in the morning, and to make your own meals (breakfast and dinner) using the microwave, toaster and frig in the room by the old dining room. This should be made better known in the advertising of the hotel.
If you look beyond the obvious and consider the history of the building it is full of character and charm
The receptionist was brilliant, she was so nice and helpful
The location suited us perfectly after our journey from Mojavie through Death Valley. Of note we arrived late due to underestimating the length of our journey but the hotel staff still accommodated our late arrival.
Front desk was super kind and friendly. Went on the 6pm Opera House tour; that was really special. Bed was comfy, linens and towel were new. Thank you. Hotel has microwave, frig, toaster oven, coffee maker for use in the closed cafe. Closest hotel to Death Valley without paying the National Park’s inflated rates.
Staying at the Amargosa hotel was a great experience. The hotel and opera house is filled with its unique history and the story of this extraordinary woman Marta Becket. Even though it is run down, (it was exceptionally cleanI), I wouldn’t want it any other way. Marta’a presence was palpable.
I loved everything of this amazing historical hotel. I’m so glad I chose it! Room was large, bed and pillows very comfortable, bathroom had everything I needed. The communal living room with fireplace was my favourite place. I loved the colonnade outside. I just loved everything!
The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The location was excellent for entering Death Valley National Park. The history of the old opera house and hotel was very interesting. Really appreciated being able to use their refrigerator and dinning room tables.
This is a very rustic hotel. I wasn't sure about it when we arrived but we really enjoyed ourselves. Brook was a joy. She made us feel at home and did everything to make our stay pleasant. The tour of the Opera House was wonderful.
It is in a fantastic location and the hotel is characterful and unique. It was a great one night stop before we visited Death Valley and beyond and make sure you get a tour of the Opera House. You will not regret it.
Very special hotel, clearly not for everybody. It's a bit spooky and very special - we knew this before and were not disappointed, but it is clearly not for someone expecting a "normal" hotel.
Fantastic, historic and atmospheric hotel. It’s obvious age and quirky facilities are its advantages if you’re willing to indulge them. Friendly staff. Highly recommend the Opera House tour.
Great location to Death Valley National Park. Lots of character and comfortable accommodations. I stayed 2 nights and thought that it was perfect for my needs in and around the park
