Pros:

The location of the property and the amenities gave us everything we needed to have a relaxing time. Our favorite part was the spa bath at the end of a long night.

Cons:

The bathroom was hard to move around in.

All and all it was a great stay and great location
Pros:

They have done a beautiful job remodeling this lodge and it’s very close to walk to every thing . Short walk to the lake.

Cons:

What I did not like was the pillows on the bed were horrible. Someone bought the cheapest pillows available and then tore up the cotton in them so the were all lumps of bald up cotton pillows. These pillows aren’t good enough for the homeless. They must invest in better pillows or don’t even offer a so called pillows. Most nights everyone followed the quiet rule but Saturday night the guy above me woke me at midnight to two am playing ball with his dog. Sounded like thunder in my room. They do say in the beginning that the walls are very thin in this lodge so from 9 to 7 AM you were to be quiet. When they say the walls are very thin, they are very very thin.

It was a lovely stay. I loved seeing the view of the mountains and service was great!
Pros:

Of the main road, quiet, peaceful setting.

Cons:

Slow drain in the tub. Annoying, but not a big deal.

Honestly, a bit disappointing from my previous experience…
Pros:

Location and staff

Cons:

As soon as I entered the room number 2 I found a piece of broken glass right on the floor…
One of the bed lamps was missing the shade

Great budget friendly option with nice premium features.
Pros:

Great location and very fair price. The bed was super comfortable, and the in-room hot tub is a nice feature. The check-in experience is fully digital, but with real humans on the other end who are quick to respond to your questions and check in to make sure you have a good experience.
The hotel itself does not offer breakfast, but there are a few very nice spots within walking distance (highly recommend Maggie's around the corner on the same block).

Cons:

Would have loved on-premise overnight EV chargers, but I was aware of this and there are fast charge options in 10 min radius.

Definitely what I was looking for, and found it!
Pros:

Walking distance to all attractions. Clean, room was decent size. Water was hot, which is awesome after a day in the snow. The area is quiet. Aside from some heckler one of the nights, but cops were on it right away.

Cons:

Perhaps not their fault. But the internet kept messing up. Was very difficult to watch tv at the end of the day to unwind. Would still definitely stay again though.

Great Value, Location and pleasant Room
Pros:

Good South Lake location. There was no one at the Front Desk early evening, as they have mastered the self-check-in process, sending me a code to my email. The room was very nice, clean, etc. Poor lighting was my only complaint in the vanity area (Vessel Sink). I would stay here again.

Cons:

Lighting was poor in the vanity area of the sink.

Adequate clean hotel with a comfortable bed and jacuzzi tub.
Pros:

Comfortable bed.

Cons:

No comfortable chair to sit in if I didn't want to sit ion my bed. The decor had a DIY feel.
