Amargosa Opera House & Hotel

Well no TV, water was either piping hot or stone cold in the shower, not sure but the place looked like it had some , flooding issues, plug in bedroom not working, beds were comfy though!!

It had no exterior maintenance and looked like it should have been abandoned. Unsafe locks to room and facility, Room was clean however it had a terrible odor and some of the tiles in the bathroom were falling off.

I love the opera house, and promise to become its benefactor if I ever win the lottery. I love the quiet quirkiness and the history. I don’t mind the no TVs and no frills approach, because I’m there to be inside Death Valley, not my room. Adjust your expectations, use their dining room to prepare your own simple meals, and appreciate this affordable gem close to the park! This is the only place I will stay when I come to Death Valley because it’s the only affordable CLOSE option! Thanks Amargosa Opera House - you are loved and appreciated!

The opera house may be worth a visit if you are in the area and it's raining too hard to do anything else (not a chance in Death Valley!). The hotel is to be avoided. Sleeping in your car is a better option! How can such a place be allowed to operate as a hotel? Frankly, it feels unsafe and smells unsanitary. Walls everywhere are peeling and falling apart. Carpets are old and dirty and were probably bought as such to complement the worse hotel furniture I have ever seen.The sewer smells in the corridors will choke you. The apparent pipes and missing tiles in the bathroom, well, better close your eyes! Don't bother waiting for warm water. The cracked walls and 'window trea**ent' in the room itself will give you nigh**ares if the clunky and noisy AC/heating wall unit hasn't kept you awake.. I didn't look but it felt like the mattresses were wrapped in plastic beneath the thin worn out sheets...We didn't dare open the closet! It was late when my husband and I got this place. Too late to go elsewhere. So, I drove around until I found a store that sold Lysol spray and hoped for the best! This is a tourist trap run by greedy owners. It's a disgrace to Death Valley. The young woman who works at that dump does her best as does the cleaning staff. They are not to blame.

Just about the most unique hotel you can stay in one of the most beautiful areas on the planet. Why would you stay anywhere else? Anyone who gives a bad review should find a Hilton somewhere and fester in their room.

Had rained so much we weren't allowed to view the opera house and water was so deep it was over our shoes so we were afraid of getting stuck. Manager said she was leaving at 8pm and to call if any trouble arose. I wasn't going to wade through the mud and water to bring our stuff in.

It's a love/hate experience with the Amargosa. The history of the place is fascinating and it definitely has not been renovated so you will get the real experience of what it has been like there for the last hundred years. They recently had a flood but it didn't affect the rooms. However, they weren't doing tours of the opera house which was our entire reason for staying here for 2 nights. It seemed to be accessible as we walked right up to the front doors on the walkway and peeked in the hole of the door and lights were on. Even though we asked at the front desk if we could have a look, the answer was no. So that was disappointing. The rooms are passable and ours had newer carpet with new beds with clean and new sheets. They were comfortable. The bathroom had a new toilet and sink but was otherwise a disaster - tiles missing, plaster peeling to the cement wall. I fear that if no work is done on this place soon it will fall into further disrepair. The art in the hallways is peeling too. Overall, cool place to stay for a night but not longer.
