Needed a last minute hotel and booked this without realizing it was a 1-star hotel, which was priced way to high for the rating and quality. 1) Dirty: as we entered, saw hair in the bathroom floor, sink and tub. The toilet had brown stains on the rim. When opened the bed to get in, found a chunk of hair on the pillow. 2) Linens: they stored lots of linens in the room dresser, so if someone touches them or slightly uses them and puts them back, they likely do not get washed between bookings. Also, because all 6 drawers were full of supplies, there was nowhere to store our belongings. No other drawers anywhere. The bed cover and base also had holes. 3) Old room, holes in the walls, dusty bed. Perhaps okay for the 1-star rating, but definitely not ok for the price they charge. 4) There is no staff on the premises and there is no phone in the room. If you need any supplies, you have to drive 2 miles to their main location with staff and ask what you need. We went to pick up a box of tissues and on our way back to our hotel, we got stuck on the road closure at 7:30pm because the hotel didn't even tell us that due to road work, they close the one lane street for 30 -60 minutes at a time. 4) did not warn us of the road closures. Because we got stuck the first night, we ended up canceling all of our evening plans for the remainder of our stay out of fear that the road may close and we wouldn't be able to get to our hotel when we wanted to. Would not stay here again.

To check in we had to go to cedar lodge which is 2.5 miles away from red bud lodge. Moreover, the parking was full at the red bud lodge, so we were asked to park beside the road which was not safe at all. Apart from that the room was clean and all appliances were working.

Tall ceilings, large beds, nice little kitchen. - Fridge was loud and didn't cool things well. The AC smelled extremely musty so we kept it off to avoid breathing in mold.
