A couple of points: CONS 1. Death Valley is hot. REALLY hot. And this is an old, old motel with no AC, just "swamp cooling," whatever the heck that is. Doesn't keep the room cold. Stovepipe rooms do have AC. 2. Technically has internet. Doesn't work. 3. Rooms haven't been remodeled since 1930 when the building was built. 4. Gas... More

If you want quiet serenity and peace, then come to Panamint Springs resort. It doesn't have a pool, recreation room, and a lot of things to do, but we didn't miss it. We camp and we have our own things to do. The restaurant is good and nice people. The store is efficient and clean. The staff are very friendly... More

We had a long drive (from Sequoia National Park) and so I picked the first place in Death Valley arriving from the west. Unfortunately, we should have driven another hour. We stayed in the cabin (16). It is OK but the AC units are very loud, the bathroom is in the master bedroom (so anyone else staying has to go... More

This small MOTEL is located in the more remote part of Death Valley National Park. I would not describe it as a resort; it is an old motel with thin walls and actual "key" locks. My husband and I traveled with my mother-in-law on this trip. We stayed in Room 5, which was a "king room". The bed was comfy... More

little basic motal along the street, just before Death Valley. We were a family group of 5 and spent one night in the cottage. The cottage was very clean and well cooled at our arrival, the bathroom basic but clean, just the airconditioning was a bit noisy at night, but on the other hand it was a great feeling to... More

This was the most interesting place we have ever stayed. Being in Death Valley definitely seems like you are in the middle of nowhere, so the tiny "town" of Panamint Springs is really out there. The room was exactly as the website describes: a bed and a bathroom. The carpet and bathroom fixtures were old and run-down but everything seemed... More

While this is no resort, it is a very welcome outpost after a dusty day's wander in Death Valley. The rooms are in cabins surrounding the main draw - an old house with broad porch that holds the restaurant. Parking is cramped but the rooms themselves are comfy: small with just the right amenities and simple decoration. To be honest,... More

Don't let the name fool you as in reality its a rundown motel room and we were just wanting to leave it ASAP. The restaurant, staff are all warm and friendly and helpful though which sharply contrasted the motel facilities.

This is a review of the campground at Panamint Springs. I have camped here twice, both times during spring break. Relative to the other campgrounds in Death Valley, I rate this one a close second. Pluses: Hot shower (as long as you want!) to wash the dust off; availability (spring break is the busiest time and the campground doesn't fill... More
