Affordable, convenient
Convenient for distance to event we were in town for, and only hotel with available king bed at time of booking. Had what we needed but that’s about it. Bed wasn’t comfortable, and was missing a top sheet, pillows were extremely flat. Did have a tv, and mini fridge. Again. Worked for what we used it for, and was extremely affordable. You get what you pay for. We did not use the breakfast, so no comment on that.

You do not want to stay here. “No Smoking” signs everywhere, but staff was smoking right in front of one. Entire building smelled of stale smoke. Smoke detector was missing with loose wires hanging from the mount. Trash can had previous occupants trash. I emptied it and asked for a fresh trash bag. Two people said they would bring one, but it never arrived in two days. Bathroom door was falling from the hinges due to wood drywall screws being used to hold the hinges in the metal frame. Fire exit signage I the room was covered with stickers, but the exit from the building was just to the right of our door. The card reader outside that exit door for re-entry was missing with loose wires hanging. Bedding and towels were a mix of rather old, worn out items. The bed was not made up when we arrived in the room, and when someone came to make it, it was the handy man for the property and it was so sloppy we re-made it so the sheets would stay on. There were only three electrical outlets, and one had the TV plugged in, one had the lamp by the bed plugged in, and one had the air conditioned plugged in. Couldn’t charge my phone or computer and sit to use it. The “breakfast was pre-bagged stuff to put in a toaster that was there. On a good note, the coffee was good and the AC unit worked okay but was pretty noisy. “Dump” is overstating this lodge.

So... this is really a glorified motel. The Expedia ad said that it would have room service, a spa, etc. Not a chance unless you consider Uber Eats room service. Our room had stained comforters and furniture that was well worn and broke down. We had one bed that was basically a box spring on the floor and was a full 9 inches lower than the other queen bed. My wife and I came out for our 21st anniversary. I am going to owe her a new aniversary trip. The staff were very helpful and polite- however the "hotel" is not run by professionals. If you have heard the term "lip stick on a pig"- that is what comes to mind. Had the price been in line with this, I could have worked with it- but in retrospect- should have stayed at a Holiday Inn or Home2 or any other chain. I like to support the independents- but this time was a bust. HOWEVER- I do credit the staff- they are trying to make the best out of what they have to work with- they are just not Hospitality Specialist. I travel too much to pay a premium for a well below average facility. My hope is that the owners will find a way to correctly represent what they have on Expedia and other travel sites- Buyer beware. Not like the picutres or as described.

The entire property smelt like stale cigarettes. I had to ask for clean bedding as ours appeared to have a large blood stain on it. Twice I almost left to go to another place. Had we not only been staying one night and passing through, we would have left.

Staff was nice. Good updates on pool area and lobby area. Rooms could use a bit of a remodel and the dilapidated structure from our window view was not appealing to say the least. Not their fault probably but the City should set in and advise.

Any issues I had were resolved on my stay. On day 10 of our 14 day road trip and the beds got me my best nights of sleep. The ac worked good. Nice little pool area. It’s an older place just like a lot of the other stuff on this side of town but it’s a mile from so many things. Definitely recommend

One of the front desk employees had smoked pot, the area smelled of it. Front desk said if I needed anything, he was right next door and I could just knock on his door! They put us in a basement level room that was dingy, needed updating, the beds were old and not the same size. The decor was shabby. Found a spider in the tub. The place felt uncomfortable, and the front desk guy creeped me out. Kids and i went to the car, and left…we got a room at a “chain” hotel.

Booked this room simply because they had a 3 bed option for my family. Room was not ready when we checked in at almost 6pm. Room was not locked upon arrival, was propped open. Gave 2 keycards, but only 1 ever worked, even after they rekeyed it. No staff available aftwr 8 pm, so of ypu need something or get locles out you have to call. Will not stay again. Also charged me more that what i booked it for.

Expedia rating and photos misrepresent the property. When we arrived we were told that Expedia overbooked the property. When we finally got into a room it had a noisy window air conditioner that struggled to keep up with the heat. No battery in the fire alarm. TV remote did not work and even controls on side of tv would not adjust volume. Towels and linens were old and worn. Staff tried to help but really not much they could do as everything was just too old and worn out.

Worst stay ever
Not very clean, AC didn’t work in 100 degree weather , comforters had stains, never anyone at the service desk, not very well maintained, tv didn’t work. Overall a terrible place to stay, I think they only get patronage because it’s a tourist destination. The pictures they have are deceptive
