We were looking for a place close to Death Valley and this popped in in TripAdvisor so we decided to check it out. It's easy to find; literally the first place you come to after heading north from the Death Valley junction. Just look for the giant cow! Check in was super easy and in no time we were in our room. The room was nicely sized with two queen beds. Everything was clean and well-maintained. I had a great sleep! We were super tired after our day in the valley so we decided to eat at the restaurant in the casino. Excellent food and great service from Gloria. We would eat here again! After dinner we strolled around the little lake. It's a fun little area and even has a wedding chappel. We would definitely stay here again!

There are areas that need repairs, but it’s clean. We stayed for 4 nights, every day our room was cleaned, towels replaced, shampoo and shower gel restocked. There is restaurant and bar. If you like gambling, you’ll appreciate the free drinks while you play. There’s also a pool. One of the hotel’s charming and unexpected features was the presence of animals — a bull, two donkeys, a goat, and a sheep. It added a unique character to the property. Additional conveniences include free Wi-Fi in the rooms, free parking, and a nearby gas station with cheaper fuel prices — perfect for travelers exploring Death Valley. Other amenities include a laundry room and an on-site convenience store, which came in handy. The decor is a little outdated and kitschy but adds its own charm. The main downside is the lobby, which smells like smoke because of the casino in the same area. However, the guest rooms are smoke-free, so it wasn’t an issue for us. The only inconvenience was a night when a drunk guest set off the fire alarm. It woke everyone up, and the alarm continued to beep every 20 minutes, making it hard to sleep. Overall, this hotel is a great choice for those prioritizing cleanliness, convenience, and affordability over luxury. Its location is ideal for visiting Death Valley, and the amenities offered made our stay both practical and enjoyable.

Let me start with this: If you’re visiting Death Valley NP, try to get lodging inside the park or in the town of Beatty instead. Our visit to Death Valley NP was a last minute decision, so the park’s hotels were full, and at the time we didn’t know about Beatty, so we booked here. I’ll start with the good part of this hotel. It’s not far from the park. The rooms are clean and reasonably priced. It has a restaurant, a small convenience store, and a laundry room. The hotel is “kitschy” in a fun sense…lots of statues, a pond, a wedding chapel, a giant pig in front, ducks and geese wandering around. It’s definitely a memorable hotel. That said, non-smokers beware!!! When we booked this hotel, we knew it was a casino, but being from out of state, we didn’t know that Nevada allows smoking in casinos (seriously, who allows indoor smoking anymore????!!!!) Anyway, the entrance of this hotel is the casino part, and walking into it is like putting your face in an ashtray. There’s even a cigarette machine by the front desk. The restaurant shares the lobby area with the casino, so expect the smell of cigarettes while you dine. We arrived late, tired, and hungry, and discovered this restaurant was the only one for miles, so we had to eat there. The food was actually good, but the smell of cigarettes was awful. Miraculously, our hotel room did not smell like cigarettes, which we were incredibly grateful for. We got a good night’s rest, and went out a side door in the morning to avoid going through the smoky lobby again.

The staff at this hotel are very warm and honest. Upon check in they gave me an upgraded suite for free because there was a delay in room availability. The price for these rooms does not come close to the value you receive. You get a lot more. We got two good nights of sleep here.

Great place to stay at the gateway to death valley. The rooms were comfy and clean, there is a decent restaurant within, as well as a surprisingly well stocked shop. There is a cool little bar as well. The staff is friendly and there are ice machines. The slots paid out way better than my experience in Vegas. I played a while on my initial slot money until I won over a thousand bucks on the wheel machine near the entrance. I would certainly recommend this place even if I hadn't won money while playing there.
