There was no key in the lock box and once contact was made with a rep, he was told to go to the hardware store to have one made. Reservation was cancelled at that moment. Lights were missing bulbs, bed covers were inadequate for the cold weather and room temp, carpet needed replacing years ago. Our group will NEVER come back and make certain everyone knows this place is a “DUMP”.

Very decent for the price and private.

Stayed here while attending a bike rally nearby. It's a nice private place to stay and they do keep it decently clean. The place itself is in need of upgrades and the finishes are cheap and have wear and tear. Overall it was a good place to stay and we were comfortable and enjoyed the privacy. Has a functioning kitchenette but no pots, pans, ect. There was coffee but only a water boiler the make it with so we had to basically throw the filter into the boiler. For the price I would stay there again.

Rode trip with a group

We had a group trip for a long weekend. We were told via text/email a code to enter to the locked box with our key. No key but the door was unlocked with the key inside-okay. The room appeared to be updated. All rooms smelled of smoke. The kitchenette sink leaked. The comforter was just thrown on the beds, unlike other's rooms where the bedding was nicely tucked. The bathroom had a partial roll of toilet paper. It was hard to get in touch with the lodge as not on site. The bed was a full size but it was comfortable.

We’ll kept sleeping spot

A nice well kept establishment that satisfies the need for a clean sleeping spot. The town is a beautiful, historic river town with some low cost, good food options. I highly recommend the Tammy’s Grill and Chill Saturday breakfast buffet for $9.99.

Not as nice as the pictures...

There were multiple issues with our stay. Had to call twice in order to receive the keypad code to even get into the room. There was dirt in one of the beds, the towel bar in the bathroom was not secured to the wall, and the shower head and handles were not flush with the wall. All in all, I would not stay here again.
