Top hotels in Gem
Omni Severin Hotel
"The room was comfortable but the beds are made with all top sheets and the comforter and sheets are tucked in so tight and short that you literally have to dismantle the bed to sleep in it which is a petty thing but worth pointing out. On another note the staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. ..."

The Fontana Hotel
"The hotel is great! Staff was very helpful and efficient, headed to our rooms before we knew it. Hallway is beautiful, rooms lovely. They downplayed breakfast, but it was good too- self made fresh hot waffles, cold cereal, breads etc."
