Deceiving description of a motel. Not a “Lodge”
cozy, modern hotel, and to our great dismay we arrived to a dated MOTEL that must have been built in the 1970's earlier.
The room smells like a veterinary clinic (or mothballs?) and what the business thinks is a renovated room, is really just cheap veneer to an obvious dump.
The floors are cheap utility laminate. The bed is lumpy and (probably because the floors are old and not straight) it angles such that our heads were lower than our feet when lying down.
The bathroom tile floors must date back to 1980's or earlier. The shower is so close to the toilet that undoubtedly "spray" transfers easily from one to the other. The shower curtain is too long for the stall and drags across the floor and one can only imagine the filth, damp mold and bacteria that line the bottom (esp right next to toilet) which is clearly not washed or exchanged often enough by the cleaning staff. The shower rod is rusted metal, and the fan/light was so noisy it was more pleasant to use the bathroom in the dark.
The ceilings are low and the rooms are heated with drying electric baseboard heaters. The rest of the furniture is dated, and the tv is tiny. There are no USB charge ports and there is no coffee maker- just a hot water kettle.
At 300$ CAD per night this place is a disappointing rip off. I wouldn't be surprised if all "hotels" from the Bluebird line were deceptively advertised on the same manner.
