Amazing Lodge to stay, if the price is right again.
Pros:

My expectations are different from other people. I travelled alone for photography, found this lodge with a great price for 3 nights, clean room, amazinly friend staff, there is a hangout area and most of all a really good coffee machine that makes fresly ground Coffee.

Cons:

Parking is around the building, feel a bit cramped and "feel" that you might not have parking if you come late at night, but I never had that issue.

Very cozy and beautiful view from room. Not too far from the main streets and many food options very close by. Staff always very friendly and kind. Would definitely stay here again, good value for money.

I will stay at a Basecamp again!
Pros:

Nicely outfitted room. Great local soaps etc and super coffee in the common room. We were on the main floor so were looking out on the parking lot which was disappointing but the shared great room had nice views and a cozy place read and have a coffee.

Beautiful, new & clean
Pros:

Fantastically new and clean facilities with really comfortable beds and fresh, new linen. The double room (2 x double beds) was very spacious with ample storage for clothes and luggage. It was great to be able accurately adjust the heating and keep it at a comfortable level in the room and the key code to the room meant no forgotten or lost swipe cards. It was easy walking distance to a few eateries nearby with a slightly longer walk into the lovely main street which provides more options. Really friendly staff. Overall it was a very comfortable and enjoyable week long stay.

Cons:

Although there was a spacious kitchen upstairs with kettle and toaster there was no crockery to be able to do anything for breakfast (no plates for toast, no bowls to make porridge/oatmeal in the microwave etc). It's also a shame there are no laundry facilities.

Розташування, гостинність персоналу.

Pros:

Część wspólna z bardzo dobrym ekspresem i kawa.
Dobra lokalizacja hotelu.

Cons:

Trochę bez sensu check in przez internet skoro ktoś siedział i tak na recepcji.
Musieliśmy zmienić pokój ponieważ w naszym pierwotnym coś buczało piętro niżej przez co cała podłoga nam wibrowała.
W nowym pokoju pełno psiej sierści na dywanie.
Internet był tragiczny, szczególnie wieczorem jak wszyscy byli w swoich pokojach i używali WiFi.
Dziwna polityka dotycząca sprzątania i namawiania do dawania napiwków pracownikom.. czy turyści to bankomaty?. W efekcie przez 4 dni nikogo nie wpuściliśmy bo nie mieliśmy przy sobie gotówki.
Nikt nas nie poinformował że w hotelu będzie odbywał się ślub, było niezręcznie i przez jedno popołudnie nie wypadało korzystać z lobby żeby zrobić sobie kawę/herbatę bo stamtąd wychodziła panna młoda, Noi nie chciałam żeby ktos na nagraniu przysięgi miał w tle mielenie kawy.
Trochę gubiące jest to że obok siebie istnieją dwa punkty o nazwie Basecamp oraz o tych samych numerach pokoi.
Dla wrażliwych, obok hotelu przejeżdża pociąg przynajmniej dwa razy w ciągu godziny

I would have been more rested sleeping in my car.
Pros:

Common area

Cons:

Bed was so uncomfortable that both my wife and I would wake up in the middle of the night every night with major back pain. The room was hot with approximately 25 degrees room temperature even when the heater was turned off for a full day. Windows were frozen shut, unable to open. Pillows were hard, lumpy and way too thick for a human. Room was not cleaned.
