We stayed two nights on December 15th and 16th at The Ranch. The hotel’s amenities and location are indeed excellent for exploring Death Valley, but my check-in experience overshadowed those positives. For context, I am an Asian female, my boyfriend is a white male, and the booking of the hotel was entirely under my name. Upon arriving at the front desk, the attendant (a white male) initially spoke directly to me, as my boyfriend was standing behind me. However, after I briefly conferred with my boyfriend about our parked car, the attendant suddenly shifted his attention entirely to him—ignoring my attempts to engage or make eye contact. This continued until the end of the conversation, when he wished my boyfriend a pleasant stay, without ever acknowledging me again, despite the fact that I was the one who made and paid for the reservation. This behavior was shocking and felt rooted in racism and/or sexism, which is completely unacceptable from any staff member—especially in hospitality, where guests should always be treated respectfully. Such treatment stands in stark contrast to the welcoming environment I expected and detracted significantly from what should have been a comfortable experience. I truly hope the hotel addresses this issue and ensures that all guests receive the courtesy they deserve.

Way overpriced for what it actually is. This is more of a low budget roadside motel than a resort as they label it. For $300 per night you would expect to have something that provides a higher value. The overall state of the rooms and buildings needs a lot of love to say the least, carpets are worn, everything smells old and moldy, rooms are not completely clean, the bathroom in our room smelled like pee. Some other people have complained about ACs being too loud, not the case in what we experienced, AC and fridge were working fine. The restaurants on site are extremely overpriced and the quality is subpar, but, as it happens with the hotel as well, there is nothing around for miles so you have to take what they offer or bring your own food. Grounds are well kept and nice, safe ti walk around, although very dark to walk at night, there are no street lights so use a flashlight or your cell phone to light the way. I would not stay here again, I'd rather drive a couple.of hours and stay somewhere else next time we're at death valley.

I understand you pay more to stay in a National Park but what youy pay to stay here is way over priced for what you get. You'd be better off staying in Stovepipe Wells. I only stayed here for one night and have a laundry list of complaints. First, we went to have dinner at the Ice Cream Parlor and they dropped my Double Cheeseburger on the ground and said they'd have to remake it. However, 20 minutes passed while my friends had already eaten all their food. I finally walked back up to see where my cheeseburger was and the person obviously forgot and went right back and grabbed it. It was luke warm by this point. Not wanting to wait another 20 minutes I ate it and left. Upon leaving the ice cream parlor I slipped and almost fell in some child's vomit right out side the door. He obviously had too much ice cream. How this was not cleaned up or at least marked is crazy and gross. Then walking back to my room in the night time lighting I stepped in a puddle on the walkway deep enough to wet my socks. There was no warning, lighting, or way to tell this puddle existed. At least my shoes now had the vomit from earlier washed off them. After changing and heading over to the pool to relax I found the pool had no clean towels like they advertised. Instead there was a pile of used, dirty towels piled up in a corner of the bathroom at least 4 feet tall. So I had to go get one of the towels from my room to use. I've stayed in MUCH better $140 hotels, this was $340!

I really looked forward to my overnight stay at Death Valley - I'm sorry to say but this resort pretty much ruined it for me. It all started by getting a room with a clogged toilet. The room smelled "funny" when I got there - kind of like a wet dog. After a whole day of driving I needed to use the toilet - and when I did - I found out that it doesn't drain - but fills up - can you imagine my horror - so I walk all the way to the front desk (about 8 min in 120 degrees), feeling embarrassed - and telling the front desk lady what happened. She said she would sent somebody right away to take care of it - well, I had no intention to be there while somebody is snaking the toilet - so I ended up romancing the grounds for over an hour - and then decided to go back and check my room. To my surprise, the toilet looked exactly the way I left it, plus the room was now permeated by the stink of it. So I walk again back to the front desk, asking what happened - and I'm being told something along the line that they'd been probably busy, and somebody will be there shortly. At the point I lost my patience and asked for a new room (which I should have done in the first place, or rather, I should have been offered in the first place). So after spending hours dealing with a sh***y situation, I finally moved to a new room - feeling completely exhausted...I understand that being the only place in Death Valley, you can charge a lot and provide very little - but that's not how good business works

Great location
It is conveniently located within the park and right by the Furnace Creek visitor center. It's a nice property with serveral restaurant options on site including an ice cream parlor. The layout is a bit confusing to navigate with a car and it's pretty spread out. The room was clean, but the hallway was gross and needed vacuumed at a minimum. Overall, we were happy with the accomadations since it kept us close to all of the hikes and sites we wanted to see.
