The Joyful Jewel Tours

Pablo Picasso famously once said that "the purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." Bear this great quote in mind when you enjoy the collection at The Joyful Jewel.

The Joyful Jewel is the perfect place to begin exploring Pittsboro. This display of artworks comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Carolina Tiger Rescue, Starrlight Mead, and Cooper Mays Pottery to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

8/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
The property was generally clean, pleasant, and about 5 minutes from RDU airport. Good for a stay when you need to be near the airport especially for an early morning flight. Our first room had an AC unit that squealed horribly. Maintenance was unable to resolve so we moved to a different room. The gym is small and had a strong musty/mildewy smell. It was bad enough I elected not to do my usual workout routine. The breakfast was the real disappointment, especially since it was $15 per person. Eggs were overcooked, tasteless and rubbery. The breakfast sausages were truly inedible. Oatmeal is usually a safe last option, but the cook forgot to make it. The only two bright spots were the fresh melon and the bagels. Certainly not worth the price.

There was no one at the front desk when we checked in and we had to wait a while for someone to appear. The elevator was not functioning when we checked out.
