Panamint Spring Resort: Rustic but Nice

Planned a 4 night stay in Death Valley. First night was at Panamint Springs Resort and then onto Furnace Creek Ranch. Panamint Springs has had some negative reviews but I took a chance since some of the reviews said that there was a change in owners in March 2006. The place isn't bad at all. Especially considering the price. The new owners are working to fix up the place and that will take time. But the room was clean, bathroom clean and the people there were very nice. This is a good place to stay if you want to do things on the west side of Death Valley. Darwin Falls are nearby and the Panamint Springs Sand Dunes are close as well. There are ghost towns and great canyons to hike nearby. Restaurant was crowded and food was good. Definitely worth giving it a shot, espcially since the new owners are trying to fix the place up. Now don't expect phones in the rooms or TVs either. This is really like staying in Death Valley, not a resort hotel. Rooms are small but provided everything I needed for a nice night stay.

Unique Quality: 14 Unit Motel
Cottage
Campgrounds w/ showers

Saddle West Hotel Casino, Pahrump NV: A bit of a drive but nice accomodations

Hotel in Nevada, so it's a good 45min drive to Death Valley, but it's a beautiful drive and accomodations were nice, clean and relatively quiet. Hotel only has one restuaruant, so I ate other places as it was too crowded as far as I was concerned. Also convenient to Red Rock in Nevada, so you can hike either place.

Motel 6: Death Valley is a Short Drive From Vegas

It's only about an hour and a half to the park from Las Vegas. I stayed at Motel 6.

I noticed a lodge and plenty of campgrounds within the park. But for the tourist that doesn't want to sleep on the ground in 125 degree weather (ah!) you can stay back in Vegas.

In March 2005, it was a low 80 degrees.

Panamint Springs: Panamint Springs

Panamint Springs also has a small motel that provides lodging for the east portion of the park. Its open seasonally and has limited availability due to the fact that this is a less popular area of the park. There is a bar/restaurant here, but no gasoline is available. If you're heading this way from Furnace Creek, make sure to stop at Stovepipe Wells and refuel.

There are at least a dozen campgrounds scattered throughout the park. Many are only open seasonally, but Furnace Creek , Emigrant and Wildrose stay open all year and are the first to fill up in the high season (Oct - May)

Burro Inn: Outside the Park in Beatty NV

One of our trips to Death Valley was on President's Day weekend and because we decided only a week in advance to go there we couldn't find any accomodation inside the park. So we looked for a place to stay nearby and found Burro Inn in Beatty, Nevada. What can I say? It's certainly ok for the money (we payed $40/night for a double room). The room was clean and had air conditioning, cable etc. There were some problems with the hot water but my guess is that it was due to the fact that the entire inn was full (well, it was the President's Day weekend). The inn is about 35 miles away from Stovepipe.

Geologist Cabin: The Cabins of Death Valley

Unique Quality: Throughout the backcountry of Death Valley you'll any number of abandoned old miners cabin that are available on a first come, first serve basis. Many of the cabins have been adopted by groups and are in pristine condition and many are barely standing and possibly infested with rodents (see Warnings and Dangers: Hunta Virus).

This particular cabin is located in Butte Valley at Anvil Springs and is one of the most well kept and beautiful locations in the park!

Furnace Creek Inn

A 4 diamond resort listed in the Register of Historic Hotels. It was built in 1927 by the Pacific Borax Company. Very pricey and rates range from $240-$370 a night depending on view and time of year. Rooms are nice but wouldn't consider them to be of 4 diamond caliber.

A very good restaurant & lounge are on the premises. There is also a gift shop and spa services available.

Unique Quality: A beautiful, historic hotel that blends into the desert surrounding. Adobe bricks used in the construction of the hotel were created on site by Native Americans.

Views from the lobby, balcony and some guest rooms are excellent.

The pool is fed by natural hot springs and is a constant 82 F. No chemicals are used so the pool is drained a re-filled every other day. Two fireplaces on either side of the pool are lit at night.

A palm oasis and garden exist in the center of the property.

Worth a visit even if not staying at the Inn.

Furnace Creek Ranch

Unique Quality: A good location in the oasis where the most amenities exist for those visiting Death Valley. There are 4 restaurants, 2 lounges, a museum, visitor's center, general store, golf course & horse back riding all within walking distance.

The motel is open year round, rates range from $105-$174 and views vary and could include the pool or golf course. Swimming pool is a constant 82 F and is spring fed.

Lodging is pricey in Death Valley so many opt to camp.
