Hotel currently being upgraded, I needed a place to sleep without breaking the bank. The Lodge fulfilled this void.

Pools were not open and I was looking forward to swimming that why I choose to stay here because I stayed here before and like the pool area but I feel like I got ripped off with my money

Quiet, clean and comfortable.

Definitely in need of an upgrade. As others have mentioned, the restaurant was closed and ice machine not working. Carpet was threadbare, paint and wallpaper were peeling off the walls. But we expected this after reading the reviews. There was a refrigerator and microwave in the room, and the room was quiet, clean and comfortable. At the price we paid, I would go back again.

The rooms didn't look like it has been cleaned since the 80s, The Bed sheets looked clean but the bed was old and unconvertable. Wallpaper was peeling off the walls and the wall under the A/C unit was coming apart.

When we were checking in he couldnt find my reservations. Did it thru Hotels.com The front desk person was very confused took over 20 mins and he still struggled to find.my reservation. Dont think he did cause he said it was paid for in cash, but i paid on hotels.com i finally got.my room half hour later. They are renovating so things are dirty. Room was ok, AC WORKED GREAT. Toilet is for little people but shower was good! Maybe next time id just try their website.

6/03/23: DO NOT STAY HERE! Property is under construction. Carpet in elevator and common areas was beyond filthy. Told our room had new carpet and new beds. Not so. Stains on blankets. Cheetos under one bed. My skin crawled. We immediately left. The 2 women at the front desk were very nice. Agreed to full refund. Expedia helped. It was deplorable that our booking was even taken. (Feeling PTSD even now!)

The hotel seems to be in the middle of a major renovation. We checked in late after attending a wedding, and the sign for the place was dark, and the clerk seemed puzzled that we actually had a reservation. There were some vehicles at the place, but not many. They put us on the third floor and told us the elevator was out. There appears to be construction debris most everywhere. The room we got was very spacious and appeared to have been partially remodled, but it absolutely reeked of ancient cigarette smoke. The place might have potential when they finish it, but it seems a mess now.

The lobby smelled like animal urine and smoke. The room was cleaned but also smelled so, so bad. Again animal urine, smoke....I dont know but it really ruins the hotel. I have spent less at nice hotels.

The staff was nice, but the whole hotel was dirty. We were looking forward to the pool. It wasn’t working. We were looking forward to a breakfast. There wasn’t any the area was very isolated. Broken glass and trash outside, not appealing at all the air conditioning barely work. The gym wasn’t working no equipment online. It says that all these amenities were included. There were none.

Cleanliness and useablility.

Bed was comfy. Everywhere you went smelt like smoke. The bath tub was dirty and could be resealed. Some of the wiring was faulty and certain outlits didnt work.

It was ok it doesn't offer any complimentary utensils, the ice machine has been broken for years, and the pool is closed. What's also sucks is that the gym recently closed.
