Cutest little cottages. So rastfully decorated. And convenient parking. Loved having my motorcycle right by the front door.

The area is fantastic. The hotel needs a lot of upgrade. The breakfast was good. Now the toilet in the room was only 3 inches from one wall, it was uncomfortable. The shower is snall- very small.

Elevator was broken so we couldn't go in.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Go early for tour tickets. Sold out when we got there & didn't get to go into the cave.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Jewel Cave was a bust for us. We got there around 3:00 and were brusquely informed that there were no more spots available that day. Later, my lady did some research. One can make reservations, but not less than three days in advance. Furthermore, in the summer, they are typically sold out by noon.

5/5 - Excellent
