My wife and I spent a long Thanksgiving holiday in Death Valley Naitonal Park. We stayed at the Stovepipe Wells hotel as our base camp. It was perfect. Just the amount of amenities and food options we needed. It was no more than a little over an hour from the edges of the park that we could reach in our rental sedan, so it really was in the middle of everything. The room was comfortable and the restaurants were great. They even had enough vegetarian options for my wife over our 4 days there. We would certainly stay again!

Rude

The staff is rude. The impression I left with is that the people who work here don't realize that the guests are paying for the services, that the staff's salaries are indirectly funded by those payments and by their taxpayer money. It was a bit like they were doing us a favor by letting us lodge in their house. Very rude person on the front desk, Nov 24, 2024 11:30am.

Convenient location....

The location of Stove Pipe was perfect. We'd absolutely choose to stay here again given the convenience. Otherwise, we'd spend an hour+ each way (2 hrs+/day) driving to/from the park. Yes the park entrance may be closer than 1 hr from the nearest town, but keep in mind the park ENTRANCE is even far from most of the activities. Yes, we'd stay here again, but..... Our room had a sewage or something icky smell. We kept the bathroom door shut and that kept the smell at least contained in there. Our room exterior door was difficult to open/close. I could not get our door open from the inside. My husband had to do it every time. The room was small, but we knew that. 1 double / 1 single bed. Floor tile(s) broken in bathroom & stains on the wall. Ice machine doesn't work, but they did give us a coupon for free bag of ice across the street when we inquired. Outlet plug on the lamp didn't work for my laptop at the desk area. Expensive at $200/nt for a "motel 6" type room It appears they are remodeling some (hopefully all?) the rooms. Hopefully room 52 will be one of the next ones. Having said all that the property itself is "cute" for where it is. They had an outdoor fireplace, restaurant, bar, etc.... Employees were all great! We looked at staying at the Inn or Ranch also directly in the park, but they didn't have a "national park" vibe. More resort like feel and wasn't what we were looking for. Restaurant was good. Expensive, but that's to be expected due to remote location. They offered vegetarian choices and I believe gluten free. We expected to pay more for staying directly in the park. We had no problem with that. Time is $ especially when we only had 2 full days in the park. However, for that price we expected a basic room to be in better condition.

Our room was very nice. Completely updated. We had dinner one night in the restaurant and the food was great and fairly reasonable. The gem was the general store. I got my breakfast burrito there every morning. All staff was very accommodating. Check in was a breeze. Highly recommend, but be prepared to open your wallet. You're paying for the location.

Recommended for a fun overnight in the heart of Death Valley NP.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everyone was very nice and friendly. The setting is spectacular and we liked the western decor. We had a great dinner in the "saloon" and an exceptional breakfast buffet in the dinning room. We didn't get to see the "dark sky" due to a major dust storm, which was kind of exciting in itself. We did make it to the Mesquite Flats Dunes for sunrise which was spectacular!
