Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
You can't beat this for convenience since you're right in the center of the park and very near the visitor center and lodge restaurants. However, the condition of the cabin left a little to be desired, with peeling paint and questionable alignment of the door lock. It should also be noted that parking was a short walk away. But all things considered, we would stay here again.

Although, we stayed in the older property, the bed was comfortable and we appreciated having a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. The room was clean, but the bathroom needed some remodeling.

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.

Many trails around the property were closed due to construction which was not mentioned on the website. Sunset Terrace rooms are outdated but convenient. Beds are comfortable. Area claimed to be an International Dark Sky Park but there was way too much ambient lighting around sidewalks and street lamps and parking lot lights.

Fantastic!

This was a fantastic stay! You have your own space, it’s walking distance to the tours, and it’s extremely peaceful. It had a full bathroom and fridge which was very convenient as well. We’d highly recommend this stay!
