Staff was very friendly. Had easy parking. It was clean and had comfortable beds and pillows. Although the shower head was tiny it done it's job. Could definitely use an upgrade on the shower head. But other then that breakfast was good and the stay was nice and quiet.

It was a nice place to stay for a couple of days. The bathroom was really small and there were no elevators. But for us it was fine.

Our stay was great. Breakfast in the mornings was excellent as well. A variety of items so it pleases everyone. I'm not a coffee drinker so I'll add that you should offer a hot chocolate for those that want a warm drink in the morinng. This hotel was close to shops and restaurants that were great as well. I would stay here again if I make it back to this resort area.

On check in i realized that i did not request a 1st floor room. I have a handicapped child travelling with me who cannot navigate stairs. The lodge had me booked on the 2nd floor, but they scrambled to meet my needs. They were wonderful and i cannot thank them enough for their care and consideration.

Mountain get away
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and I found the hotel clean. The pool was being updated and was not open which I was not aware of. Breakfast was eggs, sausage patties, biscuits for the hot stuff and the usual bread, cereal and pastries with no complaints about that. Room was a little small but overall a good stay

Jul 27, 2024
Carpet heavily worn with large wrinkles in it, uncomfortable bed that sloped toward head of bed, thermostat display unreadable so no ability to control room temperature, no elevator to upper floors so had to stay on main level, window curtain torn and dirty. Will not return to this property.
