Katherine

The room was clean, but needed updating. We never saw any staff except someone stuck their head out of a room that they were cleaning. There was no one ever at the lobby desk. The breakfast consisted of yogurt cups, bananas, Cuties, and day old pastries. Coffee dispenser was from the day before and cold. Kurieg cups were not stocked for morning coffee. Last day the lobby was locked, no one could get in.

Will return

Quiet clean . Staff friendly and helpful. Nice they leave the lobby open at night if we needed any coffee cups or water. We had an issue with new pillows during our 1st night but the office staff shouts to unzip the pillow a little and flattened it out fine. We would stay again

Staff was very nice, lobby very neat and clean. The complimentary water, coffee and cold breakfast foods was a nice touch. The parking lot area by the swimming pool was pretty dark at night, no lights. Rooms were average, nothing special but nothing bad. Walls are very thin... Could hear actual conversations from the people next door. The deadbolt on the door to the actual room did not work. Overall, just average. Maybe just add some more charm to the rooms by way of decoration and add the lights.

It was a quiet place Ephraim and a great time to come to the area. The hiking at the state parks was great. Hotel was clean and close to eateries just off the main road.

First, we had a hard time finding the property as there was no signage for Wilder Inn. The room was nothing like the pictures showed, not even close. I was not expecting anything fancy, but I do expect something like what the pictures of a single room show. I chose a "water" room, thinking that meant that we would have a water view, but that was not the case. I'm not sure what "water" means when choosing a room here, as none of the rooms had a water view. The shower did not drain well, and we had someone else's hair in the water that pooled around our feet. The positives were that the bed was comfortable and the location was convenient.
