Location was great. However it was definitely close quarters for a family of four to pull out the couch nightly. The recliner is indeed broken, and kind of in the way. Bedside tripod lamp also missing a leg. Could have used a bedside table on that side. We also were unable to use the fireplace, we think the pilot light was out. Kitchen was sufficient and clean, shower was nice and hot but not very strong. One elevator broken.We love Buffalo Lodge but will try to avoid a studio situation again if we can.
