9.4/10 Exceptional! (630 reviews)
The staff at this resort was not helpful. We arrived early with the reservation and checked in; however, our room was not ready until 4 pm which was fine. The front desk got my number telling me that they will call me once my room was ready. It was past 4 and I found that the room had been ready, but no one cares enough to call. I ended up having to get in a long line again for check in. The staff never apologized to me for not informing me of my room. She was very rude and unhelpful. I wished that I had remembered her name so I can complain to the manager.

The office was not too promising, I had to ring several times to get a response, and then he did not seem to know how to find my reservation on the computer. He then asked for a $20 refundable deposit, but I didn't have any cash, so he seemed to let it go. Hard to hear him through the glass window. The room was recently renovated and mostly quite acceptable, though there were no lamps in the room, only very bright overhead lights or darkness. I was there for one night and got a decent night's sleep, my expectations were not very high.

Empire Mine State Historic Park protects the largest, deepest, and richest mines in the California Gold Rush period and operated from 1850 - 1956. It produced 5.8 Million ounces of gold that was extracted from 367 miles of passages. It also houses the exquisite "Cottage" built between 1898 and 1905 with beautiful extensive stately formal and informal gardens with fountains surrounding the home. Although the grounds, Cottage, and Mine are impressive, the picture shown stands out in the photos of the garden. #Nature
