    Amazing owner and son,highly recommend!!Near Rhyolite ghost town and entrance to Death Valley.Very clean, polite, and helped us when no rooms were available in town at night!

    This is a homey little motel. It feels like a late 70s style studio, very clean. The people inside are super friendly. In the morning we woke up to burros outside, the man came out and fed them. He even let me steal a grape to feed one. They let you pet them it's great. A fun convenient little hotel off the Highway super close to Death Valley and Rhyolite ghost town. It is extremely quiet here, day and especially night. We would definitely stay again.

    I stayed at El Portal Motel for one evening on my way to Death Valley National Park. The location is ideal because it's virtually right outside the park. I had been traveling north from Joshua Tree on one of my National Park excursion trips and didn't get into Beatty till late. The owner was nice enough to leave a key for my room in the lobby which he left unlocked for me. In general, Beatty is a small, quaint town and that sort of summed up my stay at the El Portal. The motel/complex has a throwback and homely feel to it with vintage style rooms. I appreciate places like these. My room was very well priced. It was also clean and I had a good nights rest. This place was a nice way to start out my adventure into Death Valley. Btw.....buy gas here in the town of Beatty. Inside Death Valley NP, there were 2-3 gas stations I remember passing, but the prices were outrageous.

    Spent one night here after a long drive from San Francisco on our way to Death Valley. Made a reservation beforehand via their web site - our $49 room was huge with two comfortable queen beds, mini-fridge, microwave, and cable TV. Free wi-fi is also available. The room was pretty tired looking but funky and with character at the same time. Since this hotel is a block off the highway it was really quiet at night. There is a great bar and a few dining options just a short walk up the street. **Note - when driving in Beatty be sure to obey the speed limit and traffic laws. We saw two sheriff's vehicles (pick up trucks) pulling people over when we rolled into town.

I stayed in the Asia room. It was very comfortable for a three night stay. Each morning they offer a tasty and satisfying hot breakfast. It's a great way to start your day into Death Valley, or wherever you are headed. The place is full of Peacocks, rabbits, and goat named Esmeralda. See pictures attached. The location is about 30 minutes outside of death Valley. It's about 25 minutes away from a small town called Beatty. Beatty offers services like gas a few restaurants and a few convenience stores. Be careful when driving around town. There are free range donkeys that roam the streets. They're really cute, but they move it their own pace. The stars here are pretty amazing. I brought my telescope and was glad I did. But even without a telescope, it's worth taking a glass of wine out to the backyard and just gazing into that black sky and soaking in the stars. Pro tip hit up the dollar store in town for supplies. Don't forget to grab a lot of water For your day(s) in Death Valley. Bonus pro tip - wake up early and catch the sunrise in the backyard.

The picture on the website are soo miss leading, we were excited at first but then it just kept getting worse and worse as we pulled up. Absolutely NO customer service here! If u ask for something get ready for the attitude that will fallow from the lady at the front desk. The kitchen is a horrible experience they will yell at you if you grab food . They will yell " we have other guest u know." Like scream it, I don't see anywhere that says one plate per person. If its busy and need to bring the food to your room they will absolute flip out. I wish I was kidding. I have a bad back so I needed to go eat in my room didn't think it was going to be such a shit show. This place smells as bad as it can get as well. The pool was the only good part but its in a huge green house so its very hot and humid in there so it wasn't to relaxing. So yeah if u want to just throw your money away and enjoy nothing come to this place. You will absolutely leave disappointed. As the other reviews say as well just keep driving the extra 30 minutes we had such a better time and it was clean great food as well, Oh and u can bring food back to your room without fus..

    I will give it three stars, because it was overall clean and we got our money back…read more I booked this place based on the reviews. It was just under $100 for the night. The gentleman who checked me in, was very friendly. The hotel looked great from the froont. The rooms are in several buildings in a row back from the front. Our room was in the second row, and there was a dirt path to our room. We go inside the room, and the first thing we noticed was while the room was clean, it was like somebody had sprayed an entire can of Febreze into the room. It was strong. We tried to open the window to air it out, but the window wasn't working properly. It was also cracked. One of the lights next to the bed wasn't working so I had gotten a replacement bulb from the lobby. It looked a little strange, but we put it into the lamp, only to discover that it i was a black light. Huh? What kind of places is this? We couldn't stay. Both of us were getting a headache from the Febreze smell, and it was causing my traveling partners allergies to kick in. We left the room, I went to the lobby, explained it to the gentleman, and he did process a refund immediately. The Febreze smell was so strong, it even stayed on our clothes for a bit. Like I said, it looks nice on the outside, but looks can be deceiving.

No one answered my calls or the front door bell which I'm sure is connected to the front officeand their unit. Not sure if they didn't like the fact that it was a 1bed room with 2 guys staying. They might not like gay people from the city or something. I was able to stay at the motel 6 down the street after trying to get them to answer for an hour at the alien Inn. Don't waste ur time here. Probably don't like gay people or people from LA or something dumb like that. They immediately refunded me which means they were aware of what was going on and didn't let us stay there on purpose.

    The Amargosa Hotel and Opera House is a spiritual pilgrimage more so than a place to stay…read more Yes, the carpet is musty. The plumbing is old. There is a faint odor lingering in the hallways (not guest rooms). The building is over 100 years old and decaying in certain sections. This is not the place to stay if you want room service, sparkling water, and luxury amenities. Journey to Death Valley Junction and stay a while if you need to experience awe and want to restore what you've lost in the hustle and bustle of life. Be inspired by Marta Beckett's murals--a dedicated artist who breathed new life into the walls. Even if you don't stay the night, take a tour and see it for yourself! Plus, this hotel is only 30 minutes from Furnace Creek and is a nice break from camping in the desert at a very affordable price point! The beds were comfortable and everyone at the hotel was extremely friendly. I would stay again.

The hotel is very close to the entrance of Death Valley park. The history of the town and the Opera House that Marta Becket brought to life is fascinating! Don't miss a tour - they are given daily at 9am and 6pm. The on site cafe is closed but the hotel provides coffee and tea and allows guests to use a fridge, microwave and toaster. The rooms are kept very clean and the area is so quiet - I slept so well! Last, the staff are exceptionally kind and conscientious. This is truly special place.

Although the rooms do not come with microwaves, there's one in the convenience store that is open 24/7. It is also well stocked with snacks, water, a coffee machine, some essential toiletries, and even stuff for PB&J. The beds were a little firm, but after a long day of exploring it didn't matter much. It's about 25 mins from the Death Valley Park sign, 35 to Zabriskie Point. There was also a huge bonus: farm animals and a casino cat, Jackpot! Currently, there is a cow, a sheep, a goat, and two donkeys. The goat is VERY needy and loves chin scratches and attention. There was also a pond with ducks and geese.

The location is great, just about 30 minutes from Death Valley and even less to Ash Meadows. As long as you know what you're getting, it's great for what it is. Motel style rooms are big and clean. Lots to explore here, from the nice lake out back with lots of weird Knick knacks and decor to the even more eclectic business center. There's a big store inside with tons of essentials. There's a small casino with many slots and poker machines (more being installed during our stay). There's a cute bar where Jackpot the Cat hangs out. There's also a great onsite Cafe that we enjoyed a great dinner and breakfast at. Staff is very nice and provides quick service. I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're exploring nearby and need a nice clean interesting place to stay.
