We enjoyed our stay with our pup in a cabin at Panamint Springs. The cabin was cozy, very comfortable and sufficient for our overnight stay. We had some privacy being on the end at the back of the campground. Welcomed by a vast desert vista with an amazing sunset! No complaints. Everything was clean and efficient, check-in at the store was quick and easy. The restaurant looked good, but we didn't actually eat there.

From before our arrival, we felt welcomed. We received a detailed email letting us know driving directions and what we need to do if we came after hours. In fact, we arrived after 11:00pm, and thanks to the note and map, found our way to our Cabin #18. The cabin was spotless. The bed was super comfortable. Lighting and ventilation were ideal. The finishing work (the use of the wood on the trim) was just so simple and beautiful. The shower worked great. As others have mentioned, the bathroom is a bit small, but it was functional and the hot water was wonderful. My only wish had been for better wifi (even at the restaurant). In the end, it was okay to have a day without being connected. After all, isn't that part of why we're on vacation? We only stayed one night, but it was an extremely comfortable night at that!

I arrived after dark on a January evening - I overshot the gas station/check-in(!?!) and found the restaurant (It’s dark out there!). Check in was seamless and with the help(?) of a little slip of paper with a site map I somehow found my “Queen Cabin” across the street. Bring a headlamp if you plan on arriving after dark. I was somewhat disheartened to find there was no wi-fi in the cabin - only in the store and bar/restaurant - after a day of essentially no connectivity in the park. But… although the cabin was tiny, it was clean and comfortable, had a heater and a good shower, and a fire pit outside. The staff is SUPER friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant is good, if not fancy, and they have quite the selection of beers, if you like that sort of thing (I do). The view of the valley and the Panamints in the morning is worth the price of admission. A minor grip might be that there isn’t so much as a tissue or a plastic cup in the room - I don’t think some of that stuff would take a lot of effort. They did fold the toilet paper end into a little point though…

Restaurant in the middle of nowhere but very nice. Friendly staff and simple American menu. Prices appropriate to the location. Wide selection of soft drinks and beers. Clean restrooms are available to customers. Wifi is available and it was important for me because that day my internet line didn't work!

I have worked in the hospitality industry for over 10 years and this was the worst stay. We checked in at the front desk after 8pm and were assigned Room 2. We parked our vehicle near Room 1 and assumed Room 2 was right next door even though both rooms 2 and 3 did not have numbers. After multiple attempts to open Room 2 with the key, we gave up and tried it on the next door. I am assuming this was Room 3. The key surprisingly worked. Since we were only visiting Death Valley for the night we quickly dropped our stuff off and went star gazing. Upon our return we could not get back into the room. By now panic started to set as we realized we might have to sleep in the car because we did not have cell service to call the number on the key for assistance. After multiple attempts to get into the room I was able to open the sliding window where I crawl through to unlock the door from the inside. Being two female travelers alone in the middle of no where we felt unsafe about how easy it was for us to get into the room through the window. We barely slept because the window did not have a proper lock. The heater inside the room was not enough to keep the room warm so we had to sleep in our winter coats. It was such a horrible experience and not worth the money.
