There was an unbeatable stench in the room. When complained, front desk said, sorry we don't have staff to look into it. I called in the house keeping person on my floor and she said she had noticed the same stink in the room the last several days... duh? So, if this was known to staff, why wasn't it fixed. Very disappointed. White Face lodge didn't even try to correct it or offer a courtesy discount. Extremely disappointed and would never recommend to anyone.
