Staff was extremely helpful. The room had paint peeling from the walls and ceilings, bathroom cabinet did not close, and there was a spider web in the corner by the table. Room could use sanding, fresh paint, and a second nightstand. Bed was very comfortable.

The room was nice and the staff was amazing, but pass on the "historic cottages" as they are a bit rough. The rangers who conducted the tours are well versed and quite knowledgeable about the caves and the park.

Very nice for a historic cabin. Would have been nice to have a microwave to accompany the fridge and coffee pot. Also, were awaken several times in the night to the scurrying of small critters. Didn ’t appear to get into our stuff, and we didn’t see them, so maybe they were in the walls?

Location is obviously great. There are some features that are old and need to be updated. It is nice to be close to everything the park offers

Although it’s an older facility, it was a nice stay… quiet, close to the restaurant and visitor center and cave tours. Food at the restaurant was good and very reasonably priced for a national park facility.

The room was clean as you would expect an old cottage to be. Dusty here and there but nothing you cant ignore. The bedding was clean and the room smelled clean. Sometimes these park cottages or cabin rentals can smell musty. The water pressure is terrible. After a long day of hiking or going through the cave, you need good water pressure to actually get clean, especially with all the signs wanting you to take conservative showers to save water. The entry door had a massive gap around the frame along the bottom and the front. Tons of daylight shining through as if the door was open. Theres nothing that would keep me from staying here again, but with all the new construction going on, i feel like theres some attention that could be paid to the already existing lodging you have.

We stayed in the Sunset Terrace, which is an older building for sure but they have updated the rooms. The bathroom didn't have any flat surfaces to put anything on and I set my toiletry bag on a towel on the floor. Water was very hot, shower pressure was great. Bed had a crinkly mattress cover that we didn't love. But the room was spotless and I appreciate that very much!
