Clean, adequate room to lay your head down at night.
Pros:

The lodge was basic but had everything we needed. Bathroom was small. But we had an extra sitting room that had a futon that would make into another bed. The lodge was out on a country road but not far off of our route that we were traveling. No breakfast meal but we were aware of that. The town area a few miles away was quaint with a great morning restaurant called Toast and Eggs.

Cons:

Small bathroom.

Not so nice
Pros:

The property was clean

Cons:

The doors were terrible. We got no rest what so ever and had to drive the whole next day. People were yelling in the hallway at 2 in the morning. Going in and out and the doors banging. The walls were thin we could hear all the conversations it kept us up all night we are exhausted from staying there

Cozy and quiet spot with a nice view.
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable and I liked the mobile access allowing a more flexible arrival time.

Cons:

The walk outside to get up to the lobby to use the microwave wasn’t far but it was raining which made it slightly unpleasant. Overall though a great place!
