The Hotel Nipton is a historic landmark just north of the Mojave National Nature Preserve. Movie stars, government officials, and all sorts of other interesting people have been staying there since the 1930's. The hotel has approximately 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a large living room/communal area. The rooms are very small but clean. The bathrooms were also clean, but... More

We we're looking for a good, alternative place to stay and booked two nights in one of Nipton's eco-lodges. The owners were welcoming, the view from the lodge was gorgeous, and Nipton is simply ideally located for exploration of the Mojave Desert. The lodge has basic features including an electric heater, beds, chairs & table, and a wood-fired stove for... More

The Nipton Hotel was the perfect relaxing retreat during our cross country road trip in October 2011. Nipton is a charming little old mining town located on the edge of the Mojave Desert Preserve. The hotel itself is a well preserved piece of the Old West. The bedroom we stayed in was simply decorated with nice antiques, and the hotel... More

If you love trains, you must stay there. You can sit infront of the hotel and wait for the next Union Pacific train. If you want something without trains (even at night) just go to another place, this is not for you.

My brother and I were on a motorcycle trip to Los Angeles and wanted to stay somewhere convenient to the Mojave Preserve. We found Hotel Nipton on the internet and decided to take a chance. The website boasted of eco-tents (which sound kinda cool), a restaurant, free wi-fi and laundry facilities. Upon arrival, none of our reservation e-mails had been... More

We were wary based on other reviews, but wanted to be close to the Mojave Preserve and this seemed like the best option. It fit our needs perfectly. We stayed in the hotel itself (eco-tents are also available), which has five rooms and two shared baths. Our room was very comfortable, the hotel was quiet at night, and we enjoyed... More

It was cold and dark and no effort was made to make it welcoming. After looking aroun the next AM I discovered the other rooms avail were relatively nicely furnished... More
