Surprised my boyfriend for his birthday w/ a Friday night stay in the all-rock Caveman Room. What a cool room! I only wish I had a picture of his face when we opened the door - like a little kid at the entrance of Disneyland... This room probably isn't for everyone, but we loved it - everything from the waterfall shower to the clubs hanging on either side of the bed to the "waterfall wall". There was also an an unexpected large flat-screen TV w/ cable/comp HBO & 2 super soft robes - though my boyfriend didn't want to wear, since they're PINK - whatever! There is a bit of a musty smell in the room which didn't bother us one bit - it actually fits with the ambience of the room - sort of makes it more believable that you're in a cave. There are windows that open & air conditioning (or maybe just a fan? We didn't turn it on) if you need relief. The room was definitely pricey, thus the one night stay. Dinner @ the Gold Rush steak house was delicious (French filet mignon for him; halibut for me). The waitress provided a giant "Happy Birthday" balloon & complimentary chocolate cake - luckily for my boyfriend, the waiters don't sing & make a big production, or he would've crawled under the table. Oh, and the live band was very nice - very cute older couples cutting the rug all night - too sweet. Had breakfast @ the Copper Cafe (turkey & broccoli omelet for him; 2 eggs, bacon for me) - also very tasty. Restaurants were overpriced, but yummy. Wish they would bring down the prices a bit. Overall, we had a wonderful, fun time. We would love to come back, but maybe during the "off season" or during the week...
