Death Valley's Panamint Springs Motel: Busted...or Charmingly Rustic? You Decide!

- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #314
There are only three motels in all of Death Valley National Park (unless you want to shell out megabucks for the Furnace Creek Inn). Because of this, I guess they figure they can charge whatever they think they can get -- this room cost my friend something like $150 in May 2019. Is this a good value for charmingly rustic accommodations in a beautiful setting? Or....is it a rip-off? You decide!

Wow, a triple Hussy Wednesday ! great stuff and glad that you are back in the USA
BUSTED!!! I would slept in my car and saved the $180 bucks
Well, rustic since 1950's... but the restaurant and bar are pretty nice.
In nice weather... good to sit on the front veranda and watch Panamint Valley...
and also hopefully... the jet fighters go by.
Holy crap, $180? I'm fine with no frills, though it wouldn't kill them to have a little tv in there. But no frills and cheap should go hand in hand.
Come on Wonderhussy, its functional! You have stayed in lot worse!
There is that really sexy sight lisp again.
'That is the David Lynch was here' price. So I actually don't care.
@@classiccarszone3769 If Becky Lynch was actually there I might pay that.
Totally loving your channel..:-) I don't live in the US but have travelled there fairly extensively (Mid West to the West coast) and now have no ability to ever be back there. Love the way you show all the detail that you wouldn't see in travel brochures, and of course your commentary. Often get a good laugh.. And of course your wonderful little nymphet body..!! Don't see much of it naked these days, but know the reason why. Would love to see some international travel if your channel gets established enough. In the meantime, keep up the good work. I have a terminal illness and get so much joy out of your postings.. From NZ
I had no idea they had a Ritz-Carlton there.
😀😀😀😀
I deliver propane to Panamint Springs, so I’m out there a couple times a month, one of my favorite stops. So far I’ve met four of the siblings that run the place (there may be more) absolutely awesome people, the place has a great vibe. Panamint Springs is very much off the beaten path, I know first hand that it is very expensive to deliver goods out there.
It's a 3fer kinda day.Happy to see you had fun on your trip to Africa.Stay safe in all you do
Just wanted to let you know that I love your videos. Informative and funny. I had no idea the desert could be so fascinating. Thanks!!! Keep'em coming.
Wow, i love that place! I spent many a great vacay there back when i lived in CA. Miss it so much now that i have been banished to Alabama. Dont recall ever paying that much though lolz. Thanks for letting me see it again! Love your channel! Thanks for being you!
Going through Expedia, you can get a basic room with one queen bed for $94. Looks like the one you were in. Perhaps rates are reduced after Memorial Day. Note: you can also get a tent with cots for $25
I'm in Vegas also, so if we have a short summer ,I'm good with that, an your right it's been a weird year here. Good vid to.
Hope you are having a great adventure! Thanks for letting us see parts of Death Valley park! Stay awesome and happy travels!
My wife and I stay there a lot on our desert wanderings.
The restaurant is great. The rooms are kinda sad.
Kinda ??????
I stayed at a Motel 8 in hays, Kansas last weekend and the little kitchen area had toasters and waffle irons and stuff like that place. I've actually stayed in some pretty primitive
motels...so i don't think that one is too bad. The price sounds a bit steep, but otherwise, it ain't that bad. Thanks for yet another multi video Wednesday, Lovely Lass(8-).
I love the wood work under the counter of the cafe. Gorgeous. I'd definitely stay there. $180 is outrageous though but what the hell isn't anymore? It reminds me of the motels my family stayed in when we went through Nevada once a month back in the 60s. Its a cozy nostalgic feeling. So my vote is for "charmingly rustic". Nice find. When I travel, I have my "mini-Winnie" to stay in because of the outrageous prices. Have you ever thought about getting a truck camper or mini RV?
Nice video Sarah, and I hear you loud and clear on the rain! I don't believe we have had a day without rain in the month of May at my location in the "sticks" in Illinois!
Thanks for the informative video, you’ve shown me a lot of great places to visit and a few to avoid in these videos. Keep up the great work!
Another great job, i talked to corporate were thinking about putting you on steady, keep up the good work and safe travels
A cheerful clown motif would be nice.
With some piped in music.
Ooooh, that looks like something I would've seen on "Hotel Impossible". Make sure to check for bed bugs before unloading your gear into your home...
I always take my sleeping bag or sheets and 75% of the time I'm sleeping in my own stuff
No bed bugs there. Bed bugs have to be brought in by someone. Anyone who can afford $180 a night isn't going to be bringing in bed bugs. Now if that room was $30 a night, then I'd search for signs of them before I paid for the room..
Hello my traveling friend, thank you for your fine review. Take care out there and have fun. 🤗
I love that motel. Their library was unique. More motels and hotels need a library. Their restaurant was great. I would really like to own a motel like this. The only thing they do need is t.v.'s in all the rooms. I'd stay there. ✝
Woow the motel shawer was creepy and dint look very inviting at all.lov all your adventures...and appreciate you sharing 💙
Thanks, Wonderhussy, for that honest review. Panamint Springs rents out tents with two cots in them for $35 a night. You need to bring your own sleeping bag and, of course, hoof it to the restrooms when nature calls. The tents are bolted down on a wooden platform so they're probably ok even if it rains, but determined bugs can get into them. I'd recommend bringing your own tent and just getting a campsite, but if you don't want to bring all that gear and put up your own tent, a $35 tent with cots wouldn't be that bad. I sure wouldn't pay for their overpriced rundown rooms, when I could stay in Lone Pine for much less.
$180!!!!!! Lucy! You got a lot of Esplainin to do. But moving on,
I love the incredible sound of your voice, the wind and the music. You are up another level in production babe. Thanks Thom
Nice to see a natural beauty without makeup!
Double Thumbs Up for that Comment!
So Mom stopped over and I showed her a few of your video's, once she got over your name. She was in love!! You got a new fan... We I also watched the magnet vid. from a shoot 8 years ago, 0_0 I have to find one. Keep being awesome...
It is the key to the gateway :-) If you cannot get over her name, you don't deserve to be a fan, because you are not open-minded enough. Glad I gave her a chance!
Thank you for the honest review. I agree, no air conditioner, yikes. And the price. Not okay!
May 23, Wedensday, I went thru Shoshone Ca where there is a motel with Large salt cedars. They wanted $175 on a Wedensday so we drove on. At the junction in DV rooms were $250 plus! we did see and record a double rainbow and rain. At Big Pine we got a room for about $100. Margi at "The Merry..." (go round) serves Great Chinese food. The place is built like a carousel
I love the pool at Furnace Creek!
Nice room Sarah just missing a tape outline of a body on the floor lol stay safe
Honest report! Fair and funny. Thanks.
Another great vid! It is what it is!
Thank you for the tips on this one! :)
..... Like your smile..... Love your style.....Go for the breakfast and stay a while.....!!
Hahaha!!! The Car and a gallon of water for a shower : ) Awesome !!
I wouldn't buy the place for $180.00...………………………….
#betamale
I forgot all about this place.
Thumbs up Sis.
~and~the old man in the boat out back makes you a broccoli y cheddar boboli pizza
this reminds me of a scary movie hotel rm. lock and block your door and watch out for cameras. lock and load. but have fun.
$180!? I'd have been eating waffles until I dropped dead to recover that money. :D Keep Wondering, love your vids!
That looks like where they stayed over during Dusk To Dawn movie!
No dead people in room. Bonus clean up fee of 130 plus 50 = 180. Habe a great summer!
"Short and Currlies" 😂
Holy cow, you are a content MACHINE!
I loved haulover beach episode. Wish You would do more of those. You know what I mean!!!!!
It has been a weird year. Rain in may has been crazy. LV has never had such a wet May the hills are turning green ish!!!! Paniment Springs no AC
Been enjoying you Sarah:) your a happy girl just to have clean sheets. ABNDON PLACES LOL
Ah. Brings me back to when I was living in a motel for a year and a half.
I'll take that Clan of the Cave Bear in exchange for one of my David Baldacci's!!
It's nice Sarah 😊 it's clean. It has plumbing.
The lodging looks kind of spartan , but I can testify the pizza served in the restaurant is really pretty good and the beer is cold. Have eaten there twice. Going back to Death Valley this March and renting a tent cabin for 1 night. Also spending 1 night at Stove Wells and 1 night at Furnace Creek Ranch. I love Death Valley. Flying in from Ohio.
Holy Cannoli with wowzer sauce!
Hi from Arkansas. New to your channel. Enjoying...I binge watched.
The best part of that tour were the Wilbur Smith books. Seriously, read River God. Smith is one of the best historical adventure novelists on the planet.
I had a similar thought when i saw that paperback.
Cool place, Good video thank you
If I had to stay there for a night I'd spray the bed with bug killer and put my sleeping bag on it and I sleep in the bag :|
We never leave home without- Pillows-Blanket-Lysol- Bed bug spray.+ Always remove top spread that very seldom ever gets washed...
You're right. That shower was can a creepy. A little spray paint would help that out. Great tour and assessment.
I've stayed there three times. The doors can be opened with a credit card. Great place to party hard, but I'd not stay there to hang out and relax. We spent a lot of time either outside the "lodge," or in the bigger cottage all the way to the right.
EDIT: I commented before the video was over. Surprise to see that the main building, which I referred to as a "lodge" is closed. They made the best cheeseburgers there.
Looks better then some of the downtown Las Vegas rooms I have stayed at
The a only way it would be worth 180 if they provide all the chemicals needed to mix ur own meth
Tri fecta Hussy :) thanks for sharing
"Pretty Spartan!" You make me laugh!
$180 bucks for that little shack? Sure the linen on the bed looks nice but that's all I can say. I work at a 4 star hotel with the same room rates maybe even a little less. For $180, the least they can do is have a small tv in there.
⭕⭕ Was the front desk guy's name Norman? 😲
I'm sure I've seen worse, but not at that price! Thanks for another video, today, Sarah Jane!
WoW..!! And I thought Stovepipe Wells was bad..!! LOL!
I’m stunned the rooms are so expensive and drab. I mean.... it’s Death Valley... They could attempt some desert decor... Still a cool video 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Way too much money for that dump
That is one creepy room, I wouldn't pay no more than 25 buck for that pos
Who runs that place? Norman Bates? Love your videos, stay safe out there.
Awesome remoteness. I miss my death valley days in the 1980s. Great video. You're just like me, a true desert rat at heart... I used to live in palmdale for years, so I had a decade of adventures. You gotta do Tejon ranch and big rock creek. Have you ever done the devils chair hike? You would love that one. Ask me for some details WH..
So glad to see this review. I have traveled cross country numerous times and have stayed in mom and pop hotels with no problem, except for two that u demanded refund due to roaches. My summer plan is to head from southeran New Mexico to Pacific Northwest. Your hotel, oh hell no that is the nastiest room ever!!! FYI take your sleeping bag or sheets in with you. The breakfast, yikes!!
Yuck. Nasty room for $180, or any price for that matter. We had a fantastic room at Stovepipe Wells last time, 2 years ago, for less than you paid for that dumpy room. Am anxious to see the updated facilities at Furnace Creek Ranch. Thanks for checking out the Panamint ‘resort’, so we don’t have to!
Hey she said that she didn’t know what it cost as she did not pay for the room??? I stayed in Vegas for near half that amount and in a motel in Beatty Navada and had a fine old time Cheap as chips
A WH Trifecta!! Cool!
Nice vid wh
Everytime i come to panamint valley i stop there for a nice cold 32oz of beer. Dam good people there. Owner is a nice fellow.
So I guess you have to look at it: you are not paying $180 for the room, you are keeping them/him in business for the privilege of a place to stay in the desert.
YAHOOOWEEE!!!### I'm with you kid! There is gold in them thar hills and they intend to beat it out of you! When they said $180 did they have a gun pointed at ya? I think we are experiencing runaway inflation here.
The water for this place comes from an incredible spring near Darwin, you can follow the pipeline all the way to it. There is a waterfall that runs year round there.
I've stayed there and I , too, thought it was expensive for a spartan room as you say. The space heater never warmed up the room so we were cold all night.
Last night I stayed in a very similar room on the French/Spanish border. It was 47 euros
and had a TV (which I didn't watch). Difference was it was a big chain and spotless.
That place could definitely use a refurb or it will become the next ghost motel
Silver Queen Hotel in Virginia City, Nevada is the same way and I love it!
Here's hoping for a short summer. Hate the Fucken heat
If you want a historic motel with funky bathrooms check out the Pioneertown Motel. Rooms are decorated in 50's western and have dressers as well as kitchenets but the bathrooms are minimal and 50's wornout in design.
Hello Wonderhussy great video again and you are looking great sweetie 😉i love to see your videos 😍there is a book in the closet with ik mis je on the side its ftom the Netherlands 😉 have a nice evening and good night and stay safe love and kiss from the Netherlands Chiel ☕💖😍😘😘😘
Don’t know about value, but I’m voting for charmingly rustic accommodations. It probably cost a premium to haul the perishables and other things out into the environs of the Wonderhussy. I’d stay the night there with my charming bride of many years on vacation.
I wouldn't walk bare foot in that place!
You might want to give the address of this place to Dan Bell!
Or Earl Schieb
Nick Enzy Ha ha ha. Good one.👍
It;s July 15th and the travel websites say $39 a night. So prices there are seasonal and $180 must be their winter rate.
Wonderful again. Stanton CA to Sapulpa OK 👍 Thank You
Location, location, location... that's all your paying for
It's now $30 -$50! I love the busted up aspect. Could even be more original in my opinion.
I actually live in DVNP at the foothills of the Funeral Mountains. You're welcome to camp here on a trip.
My guess they don't have many guest. So the high price to keep it afloat.
During tourist season all the rooms in death valley are filled so they can charge whatever they want
WISHED YOU’D SHOWN MORE OF THE RESORT, GAS STATION ETC !!!
Been there couple times. I do dig the rustic of the place overall, the restaurant/bar is neat, but nearly impossible to sit at the bar most of the time, the "breakfast" is fairly lame- I guess it would take to many cooks to prepare breakfast made to order. There is a dinner menu, forget what I had but was decent. Across the street is a camp ground, 20 sites maybe, some w hookups prob. I stayed in one of the tent-provided sites once, it had 2 sturdy cots & they will loan you sleeping bags, bedding I heard if needed. Also, there is a nice restroom/showers in the small campsite, free to use- I've used it even when not staying there...There's a gas station/general store, food, camping items. Hope it keeps the rustic vibe, but some improvements to the rooms and the restaurant menu/options are needed.
I just checked the travel deal website and they now offer rooms for $30 a night which is more in line with your video. perhaps you got the walk in price!
I wonder if those holes are the air con vents ?
$144 - $184 It is a resort that is how they are able to ask so much.
Stayed there many times (just this past week, in fact). You got the worst room. While the rooms on the motel side are in need of a serious update, most are cleaner than this one. They have new cabins across the street- sometimes for the same price (low season only).
Not bad at all , as long as my bud paid ! I like it !
