Room was clean - Clerk was friendly - That's all that was good about the place. There was no breakfast available, not even coffee. Vending machine boarded up. Ice machine not working. Bar as advertised appeared like it hadn't been open since COVID. Property was kind of a mess - Railing in the back was un-safe - garbage scattered here and there.

Leo

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The owner was pleasant and our room was clean. The amenities in the room was limited with no coffee maker. We were the only guest in the lodge. The adjacent restaurant has been closed for years. The breakfast area was limited in size and the only seating was a 6 foot folding table. Breakfast included coffee from a 30 pot brewer, choice of two packaged muffin and cereal from two dispensers. Needless to say, we avoided breakfast at the lodge. The surrounding area was a disgrace. If you want to experience a 3rd world country overnight, here it is.

Website needs to be updated. Not good….

I highly not recommend this hotel. Please note that the restaurant is no longer open and the only thing for breakfast is 1 kind of cereal with 1 choice of milk. 1%. You get 1 key when you have multiple people in the room. You have to get the nice gentleman at the desk to let you in your room.
