I had driven thru Death Valley in 2011, staying in Beatty, NV, taking in the ghost mining town of Rhyolite, one of Ed Ruscha's 'Top Ten' towns in the USA. This time I wanted to stay in the Valley and had reserved a night at the Furness Creek Ranch, on the floor of the Valley inside the National Park. I... More

This is the second time we have stayed at Furnace Creek Ranch, and this time, we had more time to savor the whole experience. In short, the Ranch is the cheaper (and more 'homestyle') alternative to the Inn, but despite being a whole lot cheaper that the Inn, it's still quite pricey... and this is because of the location. And... More

After a very long but very scenic drive through the desert from Yosemite this was the oasis it promised to be, great set up good sized rooms nice pool area with plenty of loungers, Bar and restaurant staff were excellent nothing was to much trouble for them.

The owning company, Xanterra, place a lot of emphasis on their eco credentials. Admittedly they are doing some great things, but they need to put as much importance on providing a good service to their customers. We stayed at the Ranch. Room was fine although on arrival, when I opened the toilet door, a clump of hair was blown out... More

We stayed one night at the Furnace Creek Inn on route to Las Vegas. We knew what to expect as we had stopped off here two years prior on our last US road trip. The hotel is stunning and just how we remembered it. On parking in the side car park, the hotel entrance is via a tunnel that is... More

Stayed at the ranch and the setting was perfect, the theme was very fitting with the cowboy style rooms and facilities. Bearing in mind it is only 1 of 2 options on this location, I am pleased we stayed here rather than Stovepipe Wells. The food in the 49 ers cafe was OK but that is all, they had other... More

One reason to stay: The location is in the middle of the NP. Reasons not to stay: 184 Dollar per night for a room in the Furnace Creek Ranch without breakfast is more than overpriced. For this price you get a simply small room with a little terrace, a small table, two chairs and a very mini fridge. The staff... More

We loved our 3 day stay at the resort during the hottest time of the year. Although the Inn operates on a limited basis, we found no problems. There are no spa amenities - massage, etc. or bath robes- at this time of year but the reduced occupancy makes you feel like it's your personal oasis. The excellent restaurant menu... More

What an amazing place Death Valley is in due to lack of hotels the Ranch is probably the best place to stay. The Ranch has a great location, close to several view points and attractions. The food at both breakfast and dinner I would say was pretty dissapointing. Maybe I just expect too much beeing in the desert but they... More

Seriously overpriced for what we got - a small and very shabby room. Cleanliness could also have been much better, especially in the bathroom. The room itself appears to not have been updated for decades. Unfortunately this hotel is right where yo need it to be in Death Valley, which clearly leads to complacency in these areas. Upon checkin, Richard... More
