Comments found on Expedia: Feb 27, 2020 - Spa is awesome. Wife loved it. Been here many times. Rachel, Kansas City, Feb 12, 2020 We had a wonderful stay. We also added the ghost tour that is offered nightly and Jay was excellent! Highly recommend the tour- very knowledgeable and funny. If you stay at The Elm you must book some time at the spa! 5 out of 5 at the Spa as well.
