We stopped here en route to Death Valley. Very modern inside even though it has the quiet charm on the outside of a 1950's Route 66 motel. Rooms had very comfortable beds, a clean and modern shower, fridge, and TV not to mention the comfy adirondack-type chairs outside each room where you can sit in the eveing and watch the... More

Linda, the proprietor, was very pleasant, welcoming and efficient.... More

Having stayed there very recently I am pleased to agree that Ray’s Den is indeed outstanding (nay…‘superlative’). We occupied the ‘family room’ (two double beds). The beds were very comfortable. The bedroom, bathroom and shower were spotlessly clean.... More
