There is not much if anything here but that is what you come here for. It's an old motel, with an amazing story, that could use a bit of TLC but the rooms are clean, the air conditioning works, and the water was hot in the shower. A great place to stay and show the photos to your friends.

A tiny historic town looking much the way it did 100 years ago. A tour of Marta Becket's murals in the Opera House is highly recommended; we can only hope that performances once again take place in this unique hall. The restaurant currently sits empty, so bring anything you want to eat with you. There is a refrigerator in the common area you can use to store some food.
The surrounding Armargosa Desert stretches out east, north, and south of the village as far as the eye can see. Amazingly, there is an aquifer deep underground fed by the Armargosa River (also underground at this point). So there are some ranches and tiny Nevada casino towns nearby (but not too nearby).
For more info about the Armargosa, visit the Armargosa Conservancy's website at armargosaconservancy dot org.

The information and warning to refuel before entering the National Park are true. The price of fuel in NP is really higher.
Stock up on plenty of water, the temperature is really high. Exertion in the heat will make up for the beauty that appears to be dead, but it is not.

It's close to the East entrance to Death Valley, which makes it a less expensive alternative to resort accommodations in the valley. It's also close to gas and food, which is just 7 miles away to the North, in Nevada (Nevada prices). Again, providing less expensive alternative to gas, and food in the valley.

I’ve struggled to answer the questions.
I’ve struggled to answer the questions. The answers to some were neither yes nor no, but “sort-of.” Overall, the charms may have outweighed the negatives, but there were negatives you’d have to be willing to overlook. questions

I very much enjoyed my stay at the Amargosa. Guests should know upfront, however, that this is a 100-year old historic facility and it looks it, inside and out. It's also in the middle of nowhere, about 1.5 hrs from Death Valley National Park. It will definitely be a "rustic" experience, but the wonderfully friendly staff will make it all worth it. Keep in mind that you're stepping back in time 100-years, manage your expectations and embrace the experience!
This is a historical hotel, there's even a famous documentary about it. From outside it can look like the place it's not taken care of, but I guess that it is for maintaining the original building untouched because of its historical relevance. The inside is old but well taken care of, everything is clean and the beds were comfortable. Free coffee in the morning. Conveniently close to the Death Valley National Park.
quaintness and quirkiness of the whole establishment, its historic character, the old photos and murals (even though they were peeling!), the ability to have tea constantly and coffee in the morning, and to make your own meals (breakfast and dinner) using the microwave, toaster and frig in the room by the old dining room. This should be made better known in the advertising of the hotel.
If you want luxury and a modern hotel experience this place is not for you, but if you’re like us and you appreciate an authentic historical hotel, this is the place for you. The old hotel has nice historical features, you’re a 30 minute drive away from the center of Death Valley, and the staff is very friendly.
Staying at the Amargosa hotel was a great experience. The hotel and opera house is filled with its unique history and the story of this extraordinary woman Marta Becket. Even though it is run down, (it was exceptionally cleanI), I wouldn’t want it any other way. Marta’a presence was palpable.
I loved everything of this amazing historical hotel. I’m so glad I chose it! Room was large, bed and pillows very comfortable, bathroom had everything I needed. The communal living room with fireplace was my favourite place. I loved the colonnade outside. I just loved everything!
truly unique experience: almost 100 years old hotel that is very clean and vintage at the same time! the vibe in the hotel was so Wild West, perfectly fits it’s location, right next to Death Valley. Late check in/early check out was just a breeze.
Great location, just outside Death Valley NP, and great value. The hotel is older and actually not updated, but it is still comfortable. The main asset, though, is the unique history and the "opera house". Quite unexpected and memorable!
Great history of the hotel, and story of the ballerina who revived the attached theatre in the late 1960’s.
The staff can give tours of the “opera house” for guests for $10/person, highly recommended!
it was an experience! The history of the Opera House was what we came for, and it did not disappoint. I wasn’t expecting much from the hotel, and it was actually ok. The room was sparse, but clean.
Very special hotel, clearly not for everybody. It's a bit spooky and very special - we knew this before and were not disappointed, but it is clearly not for someone expecting a "normal" hotel.
