Stay here if you have visited Death Valley! We started our trip in Las Vegas to go to Death Valley. Very nice by the way. The motel is very clean and has a nice relaxing atmosphere. The owner, Linda, was very friendly. They have free high speed internet. Independence is a very small town, so if you want something to... more

Ray's Den Motel offers comfortable rooms which are meticulously clean. The room provides a comfortable bed, cable tv, and fluffy towels. The bathroom is 1940s revival: all of the tile work, floor, and fixtures are like-new. The owner takes personal pride in the property and it shows. The Eastern California Museum is nearby and the hotel is accessible to the... more

I stayed here with my wife for one night on our road trip. Other reviews are spot on, a really friendly owner and rooms that are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is small but perfectly formed! Try to stay on a night when the Still Life cafe is open and get a great meal too! more

The rooms were standard but very clean and nice. Fridge and micorwave in the room. You park your car right up to your front door. Very quiet location against... more

When in the Owens Valley I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. Linda runs a tight immaculate ship, always has a smile on her face and is willing to help with anything...including supplying bandaids for blistered feet after coming down off Mt. Whitney. Plus it's got a cool name! Ray's Den, the best. more

We pulled into the motel dusty and tired from our road trip, and were greeted with a hearty smile, clean sheets, comfy bed, and all the hiking advice we needed to make our next day in the Onion Valley a fun experience. The prices are very reasonable at Ray's Den, and there's muffins in the morning. more

This is a great little motel that's priced right. We stayed a week. Linda is the best. She was very helpful and knows a wealth of information about the area. Hard working, rooms are spotless but finds leisure time. For us, Ray's Den was centrally located as we were visiting places both north and south of there. We will definitely... more

Typing review sat out on enjoying the view using free wi-fi. Stayed for one night as part of a roadtrip with my Dad (his 65th birthday). Chose based on strength of previous TripAdvisor reviews and pleased to say lived up to expectation. Linda v. friendly, room very clean and comfortable (although bed a little soft for me, my Dad slept... more
