Room was in an old building that needs updating. But the room was clean and given limited options inside the park a good choice.

Location is very good, there is one good restaurant for dinning, the other two are okay, you have to be at the restaurant early for the booking, they don't take advance booking.

Location in the National Park
Limited options to stay within the National Park, which due to the scale of the park is definitely the right place to stay to get the most of your day. The rooms were standard hotel style rooms, but had no fridge or any extras other than a coffee machine and two cups (there were 4 people in the room). The beds were comfortable and the outside area was lovely. The pool was great. As there are no facilities in the room you have to eat at the on-site restaurants which were not really set up for families - the meals sounded great in the main restaurant but were very expensive. The second bar / restaurant stopped serving food early so we ended up with average burgers at the ice-cream parlor both nights. There is a small shop at the ranch, which again is expensive, we did have some basic food like cup noodles / muesli bars etc with us that helped keep expense down. Overall, a great place to stay due to being in the park.

The room was dirty. Basic areas we touch or used within the first 5 minute was dirty (window ledge full of dust from months of not being cleaned, where we would put our luggage dusty and random stuff on the ground. Mirror had a hand prints almost like a smile and spills on the wall) Staff was great, prices were expensive and hotel walls were paper thin. If we had a chance again we would stay an hour away drove longer to Death Valley just to saving on more affordable hotels more reasonably food and drinks.

The location is great and it’s a perfect place to stay with family. We were there for 2 nights including New Year’s Eve. We had been looking forward to spending the evening by one of the fire pits but they were all off and unavailable. We then walked over to the restaurant with a patio area where there were gas heaters but they were all off and out of gas. The only fire place working was impossible to access since everyone was trying to find a spot near it. So, we ended up in our room, not as fun as we hoped. It was a shame considering how pretty the grounds are and all the amenities that were unavailable. The dinning staff was very friendly and so were re the desk staff.

Super charming grounds, rooms could use some fixes
The ranch is a very charming and unique hotel, a green oasis in the middle of the desert! The grounds contain everything you need, from a restaurant to a general store (with groceries) and museum. The rooms, however, were running a bit outdated - and both the bathroom heater and the toilet were broken in ours.

Oasis in the middle of Death Valley
We loved our hotel stay at the Ranch. It’s like a small little town in Death Valley with places to eat at and stores to shop at. They have a nice heated pool that is open year round until 11pm. There’s tennis courts, basketball courts and even a playground which my 4 year old loves! Our room was nice and cozy with a small little patio area that led to the playground. We enjoyed the buffet for breakfast and dinner. The beds are not as comfortable as we expected but room was nice and clean. They did not refill the body wash and conditioner so make sure before getting in the shower that those things are filed up. The guy who checked us in is extremely professional and nice. Overall we will definitely stay here again next time we go to Death Valley.
