Not a Lodge, an aging motel
Pros:

Front desk personnel was pleasant and helpful

Cons:

Advertised as a Lodge, this is a motel. Cars park directly outside the door of the room. Inadequate noise barrier to adjoining room - noise travels through door. Shower inconsistantly hot. Lots of sand in the outside jacuzzi

I will always come back, I enjoy staying there. It was my 6th stay at this lodge😃
Pros:

Always clean, love location, pool and spa are very nice, like having a courtyard to hang out in.

Cons:

The bathtub dripped, the bottom of the shower curtain , while clean and white had a strong moldy smell. Water pressure in the sink was very low.

Pros:

The woman at the front was very friendly. We have stayed at this location several times and for the most part we like it just because of location. WE can walk to the wharf or cannery row very easily. For this particular trip the room was not that comfortable. It would be of immense help if they had a chair to sit in other than a computer desk chair. Not great for enjoying the first cup of coffee for the day.

Cons:

This loction has a room which in the pics is dedicated to eating. It closed due to covid but it would be great if they opened it up again even just for small things. Unless you want to go to a restuarant on the wharf there is no close by facility. (other than the chevron gas station which is a big no). The best part of this location is the nearness to everything and a fuel up for the morning station would make it soooo much better.

4 night stay vacation
Pros:

The room was clean and roomy,, bed was comfortable. Microwave and frig a plus. Friendly staff and great location. Pool and hot tub clean and nice as well as outdoor seating with firepit really enjoyed.

Cons:

Loved having your own small private balcony with chairs by the pool but having a room on the first floor had its consequences you could hear the people walking in the upstairs room. I will definitely go again and try an upstairs room.

Overall a very nice place to stay.
Pros:

The room was very clean. The location was very convenient. Extremely easy walk to the beach.
The firepit was very nice. We sat in the courtyard and read in the evening. Very relaxing.
The fountain in the pool was nice, especially for smaller children.

Cons:

The soda machine wasn't in such great shape. I went to the gas station across the street to get soda/snacks.
The restaurant was being remodeled, so we couldn't eat there.
