We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the front lobby with the fireplace.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good. But - there was only one pancake machine working so it caused a long line waiting to make a pancake.

Cons:

I was disappointed that on such a busy weekend that you did not find a way to have both pancake machines working.
The bathroom door wouldn't close in room 117.

Good except for awful neighbors
Pros:

Breakfast location coffee all day, room all good!

Cons:

Our neighbors were incredibly loud and inconsiderate-door slamming and something slamming against the wall all night I hardly slept at all last night, because of them and the big loud truck outside in front of our room woke us up at 5:00 am this morning

Lovely lodge, great location, good breakfast variety, friendly staff.
Pros:

Lovely lodge, decor, protected entrance to lodge. seating: by fire, to look at lake, by the Xmas tree… room: comfortable pillows, chair. Lotion and face wipes nice , bar soap
Present for hands
Breakfast: great variety, friendly staff, 7-11 available

Cons:

Entrance: Floors easily shown wet /mess of winter etc- maybe long rug runners would be good at the entrance.
Room: new laminate floors in rooms -nice looking but no place to dry outdoor winter boots well or any contained spot to leave wet boots- maybe an outdoor rug/runner in entrance of room to help-
Bed mattress a bit hard , but maybe personal preference.
Bigger hand soap for bathroom would be nice.

It was better than sleeping outside on a cold night, but don’t plan on coming back anytime soon.
Pros:

Breakfast wasn’t very good at all - just your standard hotel breakfast fare.

Cons:

Lobby was packed full of partying hockey parents and kids running up and down the halls late into the night.
