The lodge said they could not confirm our room. In the end they gave us a room and said they would comp us the cost. Since we had already paid not sure how they figured they comped us anything. Owner said Expedia was not confirming rooms and we were the 10 th guests to show up. They tried to blame Expedia and I said no way. I am a gold member so the problem must be on their end.

The bar area was very rowdy and loud unril 2 oclock in morning. My room was at the very end of hall and i could still hear them. They need a door to shut off rooms from the bar area.might have helped.

The room did not have a microwave, the doors in the lodge and to the room were sticky and difficult to open, the key to the room and the door was difficult to operate, the fan in the bathroom was as loud as a freight train, the restaurant tables were dirty, and the entire place needed a facelift. The staff, however, are lovely and accommodating.
