Benchmark in Central California

"Staff very gracious, property impeccably clean. Towels were soft but the pillows flat. Amenities I used - business center, exercise room were good. The breakfast buffet was standard motel fare nicely dressed up - except no waffle maker :( Some sprucing up suggested: check for wallpaper seams that are separating; touch up dinged woodwork/furniture with stain-polish."

"This is our second staying and the staff that checked us in both times were super friendly. They took the time to get to know us and our visit and offered suggestions. Rooms were clean and comfortable. "

"The property was clean and organized. The fire pit areas are nice as well. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice the property is. I didn’t like the motel feel of the hotel. Our room was pretty far from the main lobby and you park your car outside your room like a motel. You kind of feel secluded and not part of the resort. Overall it’s it was nice but I can’t say I’d stay here again. "

"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. "
