Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to have mixed aspects, with nice and spacious rooms, modern and clean, but connected to another room with an unlocked door. The service was quick and polite during check-in, although some employees were dressed in a way that didn't match the lodge's style. The location was good, with sunny weather and close to various attractions, but unfortunately near a thrift store transformed into a homeless shelter at night. The dining experience was not impressive, especially compared to other places I've stayed at, with only basic breakfast options available.
The hotel had a very unpleasant smell of staleness and moisture at times, but the room was big with a king-sized bed. The service was a mix of helpfulness and rudeness, with staff smoking in front of the lobby. The dining experience varied from nice and varied to stale donuts and no coffee. Overall, a somewhat mixed experience with room for improvement.
The hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, despite being larger than expected, had issues like mildew and poor quality mattresses and window curtains. The service was efficient during check-in but overall not impressive. The location was convenient, though the presence of a nearby homeless shelter was a downside. The dining experience was just okay with limited options.
