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. 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

I very much enjoyed my stay at the Amargosa. Guests should know upfront, however, that this is a 100-year old historic facility and it looks it, inside and out. It's also in the middle of nowhere, about 1.5 hrs from Death Valley National Park. It will definitely be a "rustic" experience, but the wonderfully friendly staff will make it all worth it. Keep in mind that you're stepping back in time 100-years, manage your expectations and embrace the experience!
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.
It's a fascinating hotel, but it's not for everyone. It's an old adobe building which is in a state of arrested decay. The staff do a good job of keeping it clean and comfortable, but a four star luxury hotel it is not. The rooms are dated and a little crumbling, it's in the middle of nowhere, it's a place with a fascinating history, and there are horses nearby. I totally loved it.
After reading the reviews i was generally pleased by the stay. This hotel is full of local history which I found very interesting. The tour was well worth my time. All the paintings add charm to the place. The room was clean. The beds were very comfortable and the carpet looked to be new. The plumbing was old but by following the directions I had a nice hot shower.
If you want luxury and a modern hotel experience this place is not for you, but if you’re like us and you appreciate an authentic historical hotel, this is the place for you. The old hotel has nice historical features, you’re a 30 minute drive away from the center of Death Valley, and the staff is very friendly.
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.
truly unique experience: almost 100 years old hotel that is very clean and vintage at the same time! the vibe in the hotel was so Wild West, perfectly fits it’s location, right next to Death Valley. Late check in/early check out was just a breeze.
Hotel has a good location if you planning to visit Death Valley, 7 miles from Hotel is cheap gas station which is perfect to start road trip. There is working air conditioning, which can be good.
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.
