    Comfy bed, long hot shower with great water pressure, quality coffee in the lobby, quirky personality, quiet, inexpensive, friendly staff.... Might need to make this a regular overnight spot on my way through

    Great place to stay at if you need to go visit Death Valley. It's only about 20min away from the sand dunes and really cheap rates to just get a good bed and sleep for the night. There is no bfast option, the rooms are pretty comfy but it can get cold (went in the winter time) so they have a small space heater. The people at the check in counter were really nice and brought us extra blanket and pillows when asked for. If I would come back to Death Valley again (for the stargazing opportunity) I would stay here again no doubt.

    If you find yourself near Death Valley and don't really care for California, do yourself a favor and stay here. This place is eccentric, but clean! Our room was clean in all aspects and has been maintained well. I really appreciated the 2 different space heaters as I underestimated how cold it would be at night. The pillows were all different levels of plush. I didn't like the bed, but I'm not accustomed to sleeping on springs anymore because of my hips. Do not let the bed deter you though because I'm high maintenance with beds. My big hang up in hotels is cleanliness and this is a great example of it. I only interacted with the staff once and she was very friendly and exceptionally grateful for our business. Beatty is a small town, but a hidden gem...with burros and not in California! Go to Death Valley but stay and eat here!

    The Atomic Inn is definitely an experience you should not pass up! It's definitely not fancy by any means but the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The managment team was very friendly and helpful, and their 4 legged security team was very thourough with thier doggy greatings. We did have an unusual visitor, but we came prepared "just in case" (see photo). We absolutely will stay here again if we ever find ourselves in the Beatty/Death Valley area again!

    I was very pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this gem while looking for somewhere to stay on my boy to the Grand Canyon. Booking was simple and quick. When I arrived I was greeted by a smiling face and given recommendations on places to eat on my drive. Upon checking out I was offered tea coffee and oatmeal and told her to drive safe on my way. My entire experience with the atomic and has been wonderful wonderful customer service and perfectly clean rooms. The Decour is very art deco and retro with cute subtle atomic symbols hidden in the rooms.

    I vacillated between one and three stars. In the end, as my cousin pointed out, we paid a grand total of $116 for three nights, and shouldn't complain. Ok, no *complaining*, but here are some notes which I hope future visitors (and also, motel management) will find useful: - Despite the 3 big signs proclaiming "Phoenix Inn", this place is officially the Atomic Inn. Well, I guess it's technically both; they are saving up the $60,000 to replace the signs, but have put the new logo on everything from the lampshades to the room doors. - However, perhaps those funds could have been better spent elsewhere, like on fitted bedsheets? Or, if you must go with flat sheets, iron out those pesky house-keeping problems so rooms are actually cleaned. - I stayed for 3 nights right after Thanksgiving (Friday-Monday); the motel was solidly booked, and they had a major labor crisis. Two house-keepers quit, and their replacements weren't really up to speed. So our room wasn't cleaned once during that whole time; the last night, I picked up fresh towels and took out the trash myself. - Jerry, the manager, was pretty contrite. I like the guy; he has way more tattoos than your typical motel employee, but seems genuinely invested in improving the motel (I think a number of rooms are being remodeled, some even with flat-screen TVs). I understand that hey, sometimes everything that can go wrong *does* go wrong. But, as I told him, a heads-up can go a long way towards placating your customer. - Honestly, the other employees (besides the disgruntled housekeeping staff) seem way less competent than Jerry; they're cheerful but careless. I asked on Saturday morning if the lone bathroom towel hook could be fixed; when I checked Saturday night, the desk staff played the "no one told me" game. The maintenance guy then told me he would take care of it Sunday. Sunday night, my cousin and I bet on the chances that the hook would be fixed and the trashcan would be empty; neither of us liked the odds, and we were right. - Look, I understand that for less than $40/night (thanks to stay-2-get-1-free), I should just be grateful that I got such a good deal for a relatively comfortable place to stay while exploring Death Valley. But for some reason -- maybe because the motel staff are all young and atypical employee demographic -- also, because the Atomic Inn logo calls out to my inner nerd -- I want them to do well. I want them to be that charming, local, funky place that woos travelers away from the generic Motel 6. So my overall advice is to follow through on your promises, and communicate in advance if you can't. Don't say you serve breakfast, and then run out by 7:15 AM, or tell me that no one brought anything that day at all. Don't tell me my room has a flat screen if it doesn't. Seriously, I don't have a problem getting my own breakfast elsewhere, and I sure didn't come to Beatty to watch TV. It's just that I don't like getting wrong information. Okay, now that I've gotten all that out of my system, let's reinforce the good points. You will get a clean and comfortable room -- the beds are actually really comfortable -- and it will be very easy on your wallet. True, you will be about 30 miles from the heart of Death Valley National Park, but you will pay only one-third (or maybe one-half) the cost of getting a room in Furnace Creek Ranch or Stovepipe Wells. So ... while I probably will not return to the Atomic Inn, I would urge you, oh faceless Internet researcher, not to discard the Atomic Inn out of hand altogether. Give them a chance. And then go explore the wonders of Death Valley.

    Wow - far better than expected. I'm a fan! There is two maybe three important factors to the stars in this review. 1. DIRT CHEAP. 2. this is in a town where the casino's featured restaurant is a Dennys. 3. The rooms in the front is fairly good and really not as bad as expected. Oh and when I first looked on yelp, the BEST hotel in town proudly featured 2.5 stars. So there you have it.. 5 stars to the Atomic inn. I enjoyed my stay, and it was far better than feared, whats not to like.. (ah the WiFi feels like its connected to a dial-up line) While in town make sure to walk down (or up) the street and have a burger at the Sourdough Saloon.

I stayed in the Asia room. It was very comfortable for a three night stay. Each morning they offer a tasty and satisfying hot breakfast. It's a great way to start your day into Death Valley, or wherever you are headed. The place is full of Peacocks, rabbits, and goat named Esmeralda. See pictures attached. The location is about 30 minutes outside of death Valley. It's about 25 minutes away from a small town called Beatty. Beatty offers services like gas a few restaurants and a few convenience stores. Be careful when driving around town. There are free range donkeys that roam the streets. They're really cute, but they move it their own pace. The stars here are pretty amazing. I brought my telescope and was glad I did. But even without a telescope, it's worth taking a glass of wine out to the backyard and just gazing into that black sky and soaking in the stars. Pro tip hit up the dollar store in town for supplies. Don't forget to grab a lot of water For your day(s) in Death Valley. Bonus pro tip - wake up early and catch the sunrise in the backyard.

I just needed an email confirming that I canceled this reservation for travel insurance purposes and called to ask him if he would send that email to me. He agreed and took my information. I waited 24 hours to follow up when I hadn't received that email and to email him the next day, to make it easy for him to just respond to the email (something like yes this reservation has been cancelled would have worked fine for me, but after not getting an email response the next day, I called back to ask verbally again. He was extremely agitated right off the bat immediately after picking up the phone, recognizing my voice from previous calls, and sounded so irritated when I asked if he could respond to my email or send one out and he yelled "Look, I sent out the email yesterday. If you didn't get it, I don't know what to tell you. I've spent enough of my time on your reservation in the first place!" AND HUNG UP ON METhat was that. I don't understand how someone in the hospitality industry could act so hostily. l had plans to return there after canceling, but now I have no such intention just based on that experience (I guess I'll have to assume he feels the same about me). And think other travelers may want to be aware of this.

When we came back 4 hours later, our room hadn't been cleaned and beds were unmade. I called the front desk and asked if this was normal? I told them that I don't make my bed at home and that I wasn't about to make it there. Told them we were going out again and please have them come back and take care of it. They did.
