Amargosa Opera House & Hotel

Parking was ez. If you turned on air, dust came out

This is an historic hotel that hasn’t been updated throughout any point in history. This makes it quaint and cute. It does mean, however, that the rooms are old and historic too. Tile in the bathroom was falling apart, carpet was rough, we had to wipe lots of dirt off of the bed comforter. Just know going in, it’s old and needs lots of attention. Staff is super friendly, great proximity to Death Valley National Park.

The Opera House is not where you go if youre looking for in room massages. Its a historical building made of adobe with a unique back story that excuses its sometimes flaky exterior. You stay here for history. You stay here for the unique experience. The entrance to Death Valley is literally a block away, making this a hikers dream. The wild donkeys come to drink next to the back of the property in the morning. The staff are some of the friendliest around. The rooms have a bed and a hot shower, theres a microwave and a plethera of games, as well as a book nook. And an experience you cannot get at the soulless modern hotel. Make sure you take the tour if youve never heard of Miss Marta.

Dilapidated building with every paint surface peeling. Hallway smelled like mold or maybe feces. The bathtub was full of dead flies when I arrived, and the floor was bending upwards at the edges. The air conditioning sounded like a jet engine and smelled like dust. Absolutely cannot recommend this place.

I enjoy my stay and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
