"The grounds were beautiful and staying in the national park is always a plus. The views from the hotel are amazingly and you can easily walk to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center. My kids loved the pool and the ice cream shop. There are also shuffle board, corn hole, tennis and basket ball courts on the grounds that are all updated. That said there was a lot of construction on site having to do with sewer lines, especailly around our room that we were not told about ahead of time. Over all the hotel room was dated with old carpet. It looks like the whole place is getting a face lift and will be updated in the near future. The wifi was out for part of our stay for a known down time based on the provider. The hotel did let us know about it ahead of time. Over all I loved the location, but was disappointed in how dated our room was. I would try staying here again after renovations."
