This was my 4th time staying at the Lodge. It is clean, the staff is friendly, and in a good location. There is easy access to the highway with plenty of food, gas, and shopping nearby. You can't beat the price.

the room was clean and recently remodeled. The bed was comfy. The hot and cold water in the shower were switched so that when we arrived feeling coated with travel ick, we could not take a hot shower. Eventually, we figured it out, but it was very unpleasant in late December. While we tried to sleep, the heater cycled on and off noisily all night long. When the heater wasn't running, there ws no traffic noise and I think I would have given all the stars except for these two problems. It's a fine value and they should be able to fix the hot/cold switcheroo and if they replaced the heaters or fixed the air leak in the room, it would be nicer than what you would expect for the price.

Decent place to stop overnight while passing through. The staff were all pleasant and came immediately when we complained of a chirping smoke detector. The room was clean and updated. However- not sure what is going on in the building because I was woken up around 3:30am by someone using tools- would hear hammering and banging and I had a hard time getting back to sleep. Heater worked very well! Good location off the highway!
