First impressions of people make lasting impressions. When I went to check in I wasn’t greeted with a smile, hello…nothing. The male clerk at the counter wasn’t that pleasant either. His attitude made me feel I was an inconvenience. There was a woman in there who was nice and at checkout the other woman was nice as well. Due to this man’s demeanor I will never stay there again and will not recommend this place. The building is older, but it is a pet-friendly building so this is a plus. The room was clean and obvious care and thought was put into this. From what little I could see, the facility was clean and tidy. I am a non-smoker and the entire day/night/middle of the night there was cigarette/marijuana smell overwhelming our room even though people were outside. The room was very cheap compared to other hotels, but the name Beluga Lodge is very misleading. It nothing like a lodge, more of a motel, not a hotel. If you have pets, overnighting and on a tight budget this is the place for you, but again, due to the male clerks attitude I will not stay again.
