THE RANCH AT DEATH VALLEY

Hotel room was average, nothing special. The hotel grounds are beautiful and well maintained. On site restaurants are confusing regarding hours of service, whether reservations were needed for dinner, and locations-never found the Wild Rose Tavern.
Ice cream parlor needs to extend their hours, and services. Only hotel services in the park so there is a convenience factor, but could be so much more.

Une seule chose est à mettre en avant, l'emplacement de cet hôtel qui est parmi les seuls établissements qui permettent de passer une nuit dans la vallée de la mort et ainsi éviter les trajets.
Par contre l'hôtel est vieillissant, la literie n'est pas à la hauteur du prix tout comme le buffet, quasiment seul moyen de se restaurer car le restaurant ne prend pas beaucoup de réservations.
Je comprends que l'hébergement soit cher vu l'endroit, mais un peu plus de confort et un accueil plus sympa seraient les bienvenus.
L'argent de l'hôtellerie sert peut-être à entretenir les pelouses et le golf, choses qui paraissent hors de propos dans un tel endroit.

To be fair I have been around Death Valley a handful of times over the past 10 years. But this is the first and last time I would stay in Furnace Creek.

While this might rate very high for many this is more of a country club in the middle of Death Valley. Cross between a theme park blended with cabins and those of us that enjoy the outdoors. I like to gaze at the night sky and this location has not even tried to minimize light pollution at night.

Location is the only reason some might stay but I will not be back. Also for nearly $600 for one night in the cabin I could spend multiple nights in other Death Valley locations with more of what I call the desert experience.

Fantastic resort.

Death Valley and the Ranch are amazing! It’s easily one of the best hotel experiences at a National Park and it’s basically brand new. The resort itself is just gorgeous. The breakfast is a little pricey but good, Wild Rose Tavern has good prices and good food. Wild Rose easily had the best service of their several restaurants/food service areas.

However, I would avoid the Saloon at all costs. The staff was quite rude, my $50-$60 T-bone was about a quarter of an inch thick and full of gristle. My wife got the flat iron which I’m pretty sure was the stub end of a leftover sirloin and was raw in the middle. We love rare steaks and eat steak quite often. It was a mistake ordering steak at the Saloon. You may get in there and get carried away with what’s inarguably a cool Disney-esque atmosphere and think, steak probably isn’t that bad here. You’ll soon be wrong and disappointed. You get a baked potato with sour cream, butter, and bagged shredded cheese as toppings on a paper plate. One kid got the pasta and I’d wager it was somewhere around 85% sauce and the sauce itself was “too sweet” for a 12 year old. Think about that for a second. My other kid got the ribs and they were undercooked. A rib should not falloff the bone, but the meat ideally should be able to be separated from the bone. Overpriced, not good, bad service. 0 stars for the Saloon. That place is terrible. I’ve had better food and service from a street cart in the bad areas of foreign countries.

Other than the Saloon, the Ranch was just gorgeous. It is such an interesting experience to have luxury like that in Death Valley!

Loved every minute of it. Death Valley itself was a surreal experience and is now my second favorite National Park behind Yellowstone, and I’ve been to many NPs.
