This isn't a bad place. But it's kind of noisy and always has construction going on. The room is good but the motel doesn't look that good because of that. I'll stay there again.

Noisy neighbor

Nicely kept old motel. Check in was fine. Room is dated and mattress was painful. Walls are really thin and I could hear the couple next door arguing and talking all night.

Good for a one night stay while traveling

The lodge was fine for a one night stay while traveling. The room was clean and adequate. The bed was comfortable. We did not use the pool. Parking was in front of the room which made unloading easy.
