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

We like remote places and were looking for a base to start our Death Valley adventure with a twist - traveling from Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam. This quaint hotel proved to be a very good choice. It was interesting to learn the history of Marta Becket and her opera. Expect no frills and bring your own food. Enjoy the history. Play the piano in the dining room. The front desk staff had a strong customer focus and were extremely helpful. We will remember Armagosa Hotel very fondly.
Location was good, parking was in a designated area in full sun so not directly outside your room. Bed was a little firm but fresh clean sheets. Shower was OK but you have to wait 10-15 mins for the hot water to come through. Apparently only 1 boiler for entire hotel. Fresh drip coffee made in the lounge area at 8am each morning.. There is a fridge and microwave near the coffee for everyone to use. Cafe/restaurant not open.
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.
After reading the reviews i was generally pleased by the stay. This hotel is full of local history which I found very interesting. The tour was well worth my time. All the paintings add charm to the place. The room was clean. The beds were very comfortable and the carpet looked to be new. The plumbing was old but by following the directions I had a nice hot shower.
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.
Quirky motel. Stayed there 5 years ago and went back on purpose. Motel is a bit of a disaster but the SHOWERS. Water travels through borax deposits that make it so soft. Could stay in the shower for hours. This time the Opera House was open and what a treat. A DO NOT miss experience. Thanks.
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!
Fantastic, historic and atmospheric hotel. It’s obvious age and quirky facilities are its advantages if you’re willing to indulge them. Friendly staff. Highly recommend the Opera House tour.
The location is very convenient if you are planning to visit Death Valley National Park, but you should be aware there are not many options for food or groceries nearby.
