Service was awesome. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy.
Able to have a couple of drinks at the bar before bed. Old time feel but very comfortable.

It was overall a good stay, the friendly staff made it tolerable.
Pros:

I thought the staff was extremely helpful and nice.

Cons:

We thought the smell of the room could improve. It was a very musty gross smell as soon as we walked in. Also there are 1,000,000 flys right outside of the room which we had several in our room at any given time. It could have been from my neighbor putting his trash right outside of our room. It seemed like there was always trash outside of our room from the neighbors. I think if you put in small shampoos and conditioner that would be a nice touch. We also only had 3 towels but a family of 5.

other than the television it was a comfortable room and the staff were very accommodating.
Pros:

the lodge was conveniently located, room was clean and comfortable, also the staff was very friendly.
I would choose this location again.

Cons:

the landing at the top of the stairs felt a bit weak, the tv came on but it would not connect any signal so we could not watch anything and we found it odd there was not a phone in the room

Don’t stay there it was awful and they charged a ton of money for an awful hotel room.
Pros:

It was very dated. There was some damage to the wall inside the hotel room. The stairs were very rickety and felt like they could fall in. We did not even stay because it was so terrible and went and got another place.

Cons:

Stairs, outdated, dirty. We didn’t stay bed was very soft.
