Cozy stay in a beautiful area.
Pros:

The lodge is safe, clean, cozy and located in a magical area full of lovely people. Occidental is a special place. I’m grateful we were there on a weekend when the majority of shops and restaurants were open.

Overall it was very pleasant!
Pros:

The staff was amazing and the room had a fridge and microwave! The shower was fantastic, hot with good water pressure. The town was so cute and all the restaurants had amazing food, especially Negris!

Cons:

The only thing that was not up to standard was the bed. The blankets and pillow were great but the mattress was a spring mattress and not a nice one. It was not very comfortable. It would be 10/10 with a better mattress.

Fun trip to Dillion beach
Pros:

The staff, both Rider and Brent were kind and helpful.

Cons:

The roads coming to it, narrow and winding, other cars from other way would come into my lane on turns the way there.

It was fine but wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Desk staff was friendly
Updated room but still needs upgrades

Cons:

No hair dryer
No telephone in room to call the front desk
TV was very small
Office didn’t open until 2pm the morning we were checking out and we needed to speak to an employee. No one was on property. We should have been told this when we checked in the day before.
