The hotel was clean and comfortable. My only complaint would be the lighting in the bathroom. They need vanity lights for us girls to put on their makeup and do their hair.

Jenifer

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our room smelled like a dog had used the bathroom in it repeatedly, and the carpet was sticky feeling. To top it off whoever cleaned it didn’t even bother to get out the last peoples soap from the bathtub. I really wish you could trust the photos posted online because this was completely different than expected.

Very nice place to stay!

We completely love this place. We checked in earlier than the timeline, but the manager, she kindly let us checked in. The place was cozy & warm. The manager was courteous, very friendly and go out of her way to assist us with questions. Breakfast was delicious! Definitely will recommend this lodge to others.
