The Ranch at Death Valley – Inside the Park
Room was clean and nice. Sofa bed was not that comfortable. Breakfast was good - didn’t find the staff as friendly as I have at other hotels. Wifi was down when we arrived and when it was working it wasn’t very good. Pizzas weee pretty good from the tavern - and we could do take away to the room ...
