We stayed here for one night on the way to Death Valley. It was OK for the money, staff were friendly, breakfast provided, but I would advise the management to invest in some new sheets, or bleach and iron those they have so they look clean. More

The carpets in our room could have done with a clean and you'll struggle to sleep with the air-con on due to it's noise. More

We checked nearby hotels and decided on this one. I had checked online before we left and I really wasn't planning on staying here, but, when we went to the front desk the girl was nice enough to show me the rooms. I was pleasantly surprised how nice they looked. And when she told me it was only $40 per... More

I chose this hotel for its pricing and reviews. Big mistake. Check in was fine. Once in the room I began to seriously question my reasoning for selecting this hotel. There were no pillows on the bed. The towels were stained in numerous spots. The carpeted baseboards were peeling from the walls. There was a very thick layer of gray... More

We stayed only one night on our drive back home. The price was right, and we were pleased with the service we received. The continental breakfast is pretty ordinary, but it was filling. The included wi-fi was a bit iffy, but speedy when connected. More

We were on our way from SFO to LAS and made an overnight stop at Ridgecrest. The hotel was really good for what I expected. A standard room equipment for a motel, very friendly staff, a clean room and even a "small" breakfast (juice, coffee, tea, muffins, cookies) the WiFi was good as well. I would not hesitate to stay...

I really don't understand why there are so many bad reviews about this place. We stayed there for one night on our way back from the Death Valley and we were very pleased with the price and the service. The room we got was well equipped, clean and comfortable. The stuff is very nice and kind with a friendly attiutude.... More

This was the most expensive hotel in our entire trip in the area and it was average to say the best. We found that the staff was very rude. Five minutes after we arrived, we had a trying day so we got settled in right away, boiling some water, heating up some food, turning on the lights etc., then the... More

We stayed in this motel for one night on our way to Death Valley. We just drove through town and a picked one of the many motels randomly. We did not expect much, just a basic place for one night. But it was disappointing. The room was normal in size, a little bit outdated decoration wise. The room had a... More
