This hotel really reflects its surroundings - rough, hot, rustic, minimalistic (and miserable). Don't be fooled by the three star designation and the glowing reviews here. What you will get is a blisteringly hot room with a (large) prison cot for a bed mattress and torn sheets that were white in their previous life. Carpets are dirty, toilet had black rings in and round it, but the kicker for me was going to bed drenched in sweat. Yes, they keep the A/C off, and the A/C is an inadequate antiquated rumbling box under the window (nothing in the bathroom). This is near the Death Valley, mind you, so do the math. Whem we checked in at 10 p.m. it was at least 90 degrees in the room. It was 2 a.m. before it was cool enough.
Not for the faint of heart, for sure. The staff has the "take it or leave it" attitude. When I begged for a cooler room because I had young kids with me, I was pretty much told to deal with it. So here you go, unless you like to experience the "boarding house for miners" conditions, I suggest you pass. Hospitality is not a thing here.
Two stars because it has a c-store inside, a decent pool and decent live music at times. Otherwise I would have given it a one. It also has an artificial pond but it is blooming foaming green and surounded by duck poop.
