Pros:

I don’t get all the rsvong reviews. Makes me wonder where else people have stayed. Very average hotel. Mattress was a bit long in the tooth. Water pressure was good. Had a noisy kid in the adjacent room that I heard into the night. Don’t know why they don’t group families together. Was very loud and annoying. Breakfast was good. But this place is overpriced for what you get.

Pros:

“They present this property as a “lodge and it’s nothing but a regular hotel. There’s absolutely nothing special about this property. Breakfast was typical chain bad breakfast.
They make you put in a paper tag in your car so it won’t get towed, which is stupid.
The TV didn’t work without me calling down and the phone charger did not work.
I will never ever ever stay here again
