Answer
>>I will be going through Death valley ntl park...

>Are you planning on hiking? Short little strolls or all day endurance tests? What is your budget like? (Places to stay in DV range from the semi-expensive to the very expensive!)

As you didn't reply, I'll give you my "canned" info on Death Valley.

Entrance to DV from route 395. Spectacular.

Seldom visited "Sliding Stones of Race Track Playa"
CAUTION: ROUGH ROAD

If you're not prepared, Stay on the PAVED Roads

Safety Speech: You're in the desert. Bring a cooler with ice and beverages (non-alcoholic!) as well as some snack food. Toss a couple of gallons of water in the trunk of the car in case you have radiator problems (or come across another motorist having them!).
