For travelers heading to Ridgecrest, the choice of airport depends heavily on the balance between flight availability and ground travel logistics. Meadows Field Airport (BFL), located in the neighboring city of Bakersfield, serves as the primary regional hub and offers the most efficient ground transit to Ridgecrest, primarily via car rental or rideshare. Van Nuys Airport (VNY), in the neighboring city of Van Nuys, is an exclusive general aviation facility catering to private and executive travel; while it lacks commercial terminals, it remains a budget-friendly option for those utilizing private transport. Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) in Burbank and Ontario International Airport (ONT) in Ontario provide better commercial connectivity but necessitate significantly longer ground travel times across Southern California. SBD International Airport (SBD) in San Bernardino is also available for specific charter or regional needs. Travelers should prioritize Meadows Field Airport for the shortest transit duration, while opting for Burbank or Ontario when requiring access to major national or international airline networks.

I stayed here while sightseeing in Death Valley. Parking is conveniently located, and there is also laundry. The room was clean. Breakfast was included, but I didn't have time to use it. Coffee service is available at all times.FromUS$131

A typical motel is the foothold on the road from Death Valley to Sequoia National Forest Park. The town is not big, so the supporting facilities near the hotel are relatively complete. There are supermarkets and restaurants. Parking is also very convenient, just at the door of the room. The room has two floors. The front desk will ask you whether you want to go upstairs or downstairs. We chose downstairs if we had more luggage. The staff are very nice.
There is a refrigerator and a microwave in the room, and you can prepare some simple meals for the next day in the big scenic areaFromUS$84

We have been looking for a accommodation for one night as a starting point for a Death Valley crossing.
Check-in was fast and easy. Breakfast can be taken against a coupon at Denny's. Unfortunately, breakfast there was very disappointed. (Eggs and hashbrowns were half crude, the service was unhappy)
The room was very dark. But as far as it was assessable it was clean. The equipment with microwave, TV and refrigerator was good. The bathroom was clean. The bed was comfortable.
The location in the middle of Ridgecrest is good. There are many restaurants around.
Nothing special in all, but very good for it.FromUS$82

The room is still relatively spacious, the bathroom bathtub is a bit slow, because it is late, other aspects feel good. I chose this place mainly because I hope to be closer to Death Valley National Park, but it is not far away.FromUS$125

The room was a bit small, but it was clean, it was too small. The air conditioner was very loud and a bit noisy. The hotel has a free breakfast, but the breakfast hotel does not have a drink. The waiter came up and asked ”coffee or tea”, and did not say that this is a charge. When I finally left, I was told that it was a 3.56 knife. In addition, the money must be paid in cash and credit cards are not accepted.FromUS$68

Advantages: The room is spacious, clean, the bed is comfortable, and the breakfast is good. Disadvantages: The allocated room is not in a good position. The car starts to sound loudly against the parking lot in front of the hotel. And the outside of the window is a wall, very stuffy. The air conditioning sounds great. The room is not soundproof, I heard the next door or the downstairs at night**. The location of the breakfast is not easy to find, it is not difficult to get a sign. The pool is small. No kettle. The shower is relatively small. It’s a good rule.FromUS$124

The bed was very comfortable in the room.
There was a very noisy exhaust fan in the bathroom which came on everytime the bathroom light was turned on. There was no switch to turn on the light without the fan coming on. We went to Walmart and purchased a night light so the fan noise would not bother us after going to sleep.
The breakfast options offered were very minimal.FromUS$82

I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel. From the moment I checked in, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The check-in process was smooth and quick, and they even offered helpful local recommendations for restaurants and attractions nearby. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay — from a cozy bed to a spacious bathroom with good water pressure.
The location was also perfect — close to public transportation, convenience stores, and a few great cafes. I especially appreciated how quiet it was at night despite being in a busy area. The housekeeping team did an excellent job keeping the room spotless each day, and small touches like fresh towels and bottled water were a nice bonus.
Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again. It felt safe, comfortable, and well worth the price. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!FromUS$85
