Both of these lodges are splurges, the place you go for a birthday, honeymoon, anniversary or the optioning of a screenplay. But which one is the best? A head-to-head match-up:
My Ahwahnee room greeted me with earth tones, a love seat, a chair and botanical prints. No desk. The bathroom was small, but it featured a yellow rubber duck wearing a ranger hat. Nice touch. The room key was an actual key, brass and stamped Do Not Duplicate. It didn’t say Ahwahnee, perhaps because people would take it as a souvenir. Still, a missed opportunity to do something creative.
My room at the Inn at Death Valley offered more earth tones and a Mission Revival feel. There was a marble-top desk and a lamp with a bright red base. The key was a card with a colorful image of the park. Medium-sized bathroom. Smallish bedroom. The Ahwahnee’s ground floor was a wonder, protected by historic preservation measures. But it was also worn. The first piece of furniture I saw, a love seat in the lobby, had a big stain, not fresh. The Great Room ceiling was impressive but marred by white patches — water damage repair waiting to be touched up, a worker told me. A big gift shop. A pleasant bar with food on the menu — a good alternative to the dining room.
In Death Valley, the inn’s indoor public spaces were much smaller, but graceful, with arched doorways, exposed beams, tile floors and Western art. A pleasant lounge with a fireplace was next to the dining room.
