not for the faint hearted - this is not a luxury stay but a truly unique one! make sure to pay for the tour of the opera house when you're there :)
I love that the Opera House exists, and only wish I could win the lottery and donate millions to bring it to its original condition.
My only complaint is for the other guests being noisy and easy to hear through the old plaster walls. I Wish guests realized how much voices carry in their rooms. I will continue to stay here - I love its charm!
Strong moldy smell everywhere. Couldn’t stay the night. Dilapidated. It’s old but conditions are unacceptable even for an old property. 15 minutes to get hot water for shower. Staff was nice and they refunded our money.

While the building has seen better days and the accommodations are minimal, this place is the most unique stay I've ever had and is bursting with exciting history, which the helpful staff will share on and off the tour.
I'd highly recommend staying here to help keep this place alive, but just be prepared for things to be a little rough around the edges.

Wanting to see stars? This is the place you want to be. Eating is 7 miles up the road. Great tea and coffee ready 7 a.m. It's an old motel with lots of character.
Really great opportunity to stay in a historic building and to learn about a beautiful life. As they state plainly on their website, staying here is a rustic experience--there are exposed pipes, no TV (although there is wifi), and parts of the hotel have a funny smell. But it is a 100+ year old building that has endured many punishing desert summers and cold winters. It is not the Ritz-Carlton--don't come here if that's what you're after. However, my fiancee and I felt enriched learning the story of Marta Beckett and having a tour of the old opera house. Her life is inspiring, as described in the 2000 movie "Amargosa". We intend to return and we would recommend the hotel to anyone adventurous enough to sacrifice a little on amenities in order to have a truly unique experience.

We absolutely loved our stay here, but we came for the experience, not the amenities. If you're looking for modern posh, this isn’t the place for you. If you are wanting a unique experience and the opportunity to spend the night in a historical location, then this is your bag!
The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. We paid the small fee for the evening tour and it was wonderful! There are no TVs in the rooms and everything about the place is really, really old which was all part of the experience. We would definitely stay here again!
Tia should not be open. It discredits Expedia’s mission ramschackled in disrepair water problems no hot water no food or nearby restaurants maid service housekeeping terrible. Spent over$100 a night booked for 2 nights left after one. Would not refund 2nd night.

Unique place. Fun history. Could use a facelift especially sewer/plumbing to remove that smell to go outside verse inside.
We checked out the room and found that there appeared to Be mold in the shower the whole place smells musty there was paint pealing everywhere and am sure that do to the age of the place it had to be lead paint which is a hazard. We did not stay for fear of health concerns
I have never slept in a dirtier place than this! And the smell is just horrible! Cracked tiles in the bathroom and the toilet wasn't even working! Very ,very bad experience! Not sure how Expedia and other travel agencies work with it because the place is falling apart. Needs some deep cleaning and a fresh paint!

Great concept. Just not quite there yet. Room was clean but had issues. Would do again to support the property- hope remodel continues. Would be a great place to stay if it can be brought up to the basic standards you expect in a 2 or 3 star hotel
