Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We turned around and walked out. It started with their inability to answer the phone, which caused us to walk from the airport, across the highway with luggage in hand. Then, when we finally got to the lobby, there was no one to greet us or check us in. There is no restaurant and we were hungry. We rang the bell 3 times only to give up and start a 10 minute hunt for a missing employee. Finally got checked in. There was no empathy for what we went through and no offer to take our luggage to our room, which, btw, was at the exact opposite end of the lodge. We’re now in our room. The trash can had trash in it; the room was hot; the AC was mediocre at best; the sink is stained and I had asked for a box fan in the reservation and there was no “I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t have a box fan”. Nothing. Not word one. So, we decided we had had enough and we would find a different place, closer to our destination. As we tell this to the front desk, asking for a refund, because we never did stay, he tells us he doesn’t have the authority to do that and we need to take that up with the manager. I’ll let you in on a secret….you can count on it! I say save your money and time. I mean the area has very poor internet, no ride share service and no restaurants outside the airport. Ok, I’m done with my rant. Thanks for listening.

The lady was cheerful and welcoming at check-in. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and especially the hot tub at the end of a busy day. It was very refreshing having local people working and running the hotel. The majority of hotels anymore are run and managed by foreign people.

Pleasant stay @ the Lodge

Comfortable bed, place was quiet, well lite parking lot. The Lodge lobby is "log cabin style" decor, spacious and welcoming environment. The indoor large pool was clean with seating areas to relax after a swim. I'd stay there again if traveling this way. Very please

The Pellston Lodge has been around for a few years, but it's still a good place to stay for when I see family in nearby Alanson. Melissa is a very nice person, as is her husband Phil, and Lucus who works evenings. The entire staff is nice. I'll be back when I come up from North Carolina.
