Good mountain location, comfortable beds & nice breakfast
Pros:

The beds were comfortable, the staff were friendly and the breakfast was really nice

Cons:

The location was too far out of the town to walk to which was our fault for not noticing that. The hotel was quite expensive compared to other places weve stayed on our trip. There is a bar about a 15 minute walk away but that’s all that is nearby walkable, however you are higher up the mountain to get in the car to see the views.

It was okay, but I wouldn't recommend because of the reasons stated.
Pros:

The location of the lodge is excellent.

Cons:

I did not like the fact that the walls are paper thin. We were in room 60 and we could clearly here our neighbors next door who were talking and laughing in a normal tone of voice. It may have been because there was an interior door that joined the two rooms (I also didn't like this.) or it could have been the thin walls. Either way, it disturbed our peace and rest and was extremely annoying.

Pros:

the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very good. Even though we did not use the pool, we were impressed with the bridge crossing over the indoor pool.

Pros:

Breakfast was great! Staff was great and amicable/helpful. The room and hotel overall was clean and the WiFi was VERy good for an older hotel. The bed was also very comfortable.

Cons:

Hallway outside our room was noisy (mostly due to other people stay in with kids running and shouting up and down the halls in the evening so not the fault of the proprietors).

The one major concern was the pool: there is s HUGE dip between the 3 foot and 4-5 foot mark vs a smaller incline like most other hotel pools. Couple that with the bottom of the pool being very slippery it can actually be very dangerous for someone who doesn’t swim well to lose their footing and balance in the middle of the pool.
