It’s unique as it’s a community but lines to eat/ waiting for a table is ridiculous. No where else to go to eat outside the community. The general store is where we had to eat dinner. Which is a bummer. Rooms were dirty and not well taken care of.

Great location with tons of food options. Food prices are quite expensive. Only small issue was thin doors so we heard neighbors talking at night and in morning. Very nice place!

Service was meh, location is great.

For the price you pay at this hotel, the service is really lacking. I requested that we have extra pillows delivered to the room, and they were never brought up. Our shower did not have a shower curtain, so the floor got soaking wet and was a slip hazard after the showers. There were cleaning supplies left in the room, so it’s obvious that housekeeping was there….not sure if the no shower curtain is part of the “eco friendly” thing or what. But it was not pleasant. The location was convenient but if the property is going to be lacking in service, the price should reflect that.

Perfect base for exploring Death Valley

We absolutely loved staying at the Ranch. The property is beautifully maintained and offers multiple restaurants (good food!) a general store and more. It is the ideal spot to stay while exploring Death Valley. Our room was in an older part of the property, which has become shabby over time. For example, there was a big rip in our window treatment and the room needed a good vacuum. Everything was just a bit tired and worn. The staff are wonderfully helpful and there is even a stable adjacent to the property - highly recommend a ride out through the Valley. Be prepared for limited WiFi even on the property! We saw it as a great chance to unplug.

Room was in an old building that needs updating. But the room was clean and given limited options inside the park a good choice.

Location is very good, there is one good restaurant for dinning, the other two are okay, you have to be at the restaurant early for the booking, they don't take advance booking.

Location in the National Park

Limited options to stay within the National Park, which due to the scale of the park is definitely the right place to stay to get the most of your day. The rooms were standard hotel style rooms, but had no fridge or any extras other than a coffee machine and two cups (there were 4 people in the room). The beds were comfortable and the outside area was lovely. The pool was great. As there are no facilities in the room you have to eat at the on-site restaurants which were not really set up for families - the meals sounded great in the main restaurant but were very expensive. The second bar / restaurant stopped serving food early so we ended up with average burgers at the ice-cream parlor both nights. There is a small shop at the ranch, which again is expensive, we did have some basic food like cup noodles / muesli bars etc with us that helped keep expense down. Overall, a great place to stay due to being in the park.

Oasis in the middle of Death Valley

Wonderful facilities in the middle of Death Valley. Really convenient to access the park. Loved all the small shops and restaurants there. Check in staff is very welcoming. We even at on the grounds and the food was good.

The room was dirty. Basic areas we touch or used within the first 5 minute was dirty (window ledge full of dust from months of not being cleaned, where we would put our luggage dusty and random stuff on the ground. Mirror had a hand prints almost like a smile and spills on the wall) Staff was great, prices were expensive and hotel walls were paper thin. If we had a chance again we would stay an hour away drove longer to Death Valley just to saving on more affordable hotels more reasonably food and drinks.
