Parking was a problem. Neither parking lots were convenient to rhe second or third floor. There are no elevators. So getting from the parking lot to the third floor is a problem.

Our room was clean, odor free and comfortable. It’s quick and easy to get to the main shopping center and eating spots. The hotel is a bit dated but we would happily stay there again. Spacious parking. The breakfast was very modest, bagels, toast and boxed oatmeal, but very good coffee. There are great breakfast spots nearby so why easy the calories at the hotel.

Large clean rooms, lovely view of the lake from the 3rd floor. Easy parking. If this lodge would go one step further for comfort, then it would be worth the $200+ per night—like Adding extra blankets and either small coffee machines and/or micro-wave ovens in the room with to-go coffee cups, etc. It was a basic room missing little touches to bring comfort to a traveler.

The whole place smelled, the bed was hard and the “breakfast” was your choice of cereal, toast or pancakes you can reheat in the toaster.

The side door was not locked. This could be dangerous….anyone could come in and harm your staff and your customers.
