Tracy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quiet and relaxing
Enjoyed our stay at Podium Lodge and the pool was much appreciated. Very clean with good furniture etc There were other open areas for recreational use but we did not have time to explore them. The only negative about our room was that the ranch sliders opened out onto a small courtyard - this was nice but anybody walking past looked right into your "bedroom". Not all the units were designed this way and a small issue. Otherwise really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to friends.
