It was close to everything. Booking we booked a premium room when we got there they just gave us and updated room not the premium room. They did give us a discount after we brought it up. One of the beds had hair that wasn’t ours on it. For being an updated room there was still stuff that looked dated. The only thing that looked updated was the bathroom. The bathroom didn’t have a vanity. Soaps were mounted like the kind you would see at rest stops. Pillows were thin. The continental breakfast was hardly existent. On the plus side the room stayed warm. The staff was nice even though I don’t believe they all were knowledgeable.

Unforgivable Treatment, Appalling Customer Service
WARNING: The customer service is unforgivably inadequate. I wanted to avoid leaving a bad review and gave the lodge one month to respond to six separate complaints I filed (two in person, two over the phone, and two over email). This was my last resort but let it speak to their lack of commitment to make things right. We stayed here in late September 2024. The room was adequate, but on our second day, we found a dead, rotting bird under our bed. Upon finding the bird, we disposed of it and kindly asked that the staff clean our room while we were out for the day. When we got back, nothing was touched, no one had cleaned, and we had to sleep with the bugs and smell of decay. At checkout, the front desk told us the manager would contact us to make things right. After one week, I received no response. I placed two calls requesting they follow up, and got false promises saying they were going to call back later that day. In the following month, I emailed twice requesting a follow up. Nothing. This is bad service. No other way to say it. Very disappointed. To the lodge: Again, I was hoping to receive a follow up, after which point I would leave a review highlighting the positive impact that communication had on me. One month is plenty of wiggle room, thought I was being fair.
