Overall it’s a great place for the price. The location, room, food and bar were good. The front desk worker was a little rough and not very intelligent for sure. Tough to get luggage into the room long walk.

What an absolute treat!! I booked this hotel because it was close to my friend’s house who I was coming to visit and it’s also advertised as pet friendly. Looking through the photos, I thought it looked nice and I was surprised that each guest room had a patio or balcony. When we arrived, the place was beautifully lit up and we could hear live music playing. Check in was very easy. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed every minute that we spent there. The 50’s diner was perfect for breakfast and the bar was perfect for a night cap. All the people that work there are very nice. We will return!!

Power went out for an hour before we checked in, but we hung around and glad we did. Once power was restored we were pleased with our room. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and the cafe downstairs served a delicious meal. The lodge had great live music that night, but we didn’t stick around for the late night Techno party. If you’re a light sleeper bring ear plugs in case there’s an all night party in the lodge. It didn’t bother us at all. We plan on returning since we love the area and its an affordable stay when you’re just there to sleep after daytime adventures. Thanks Brookdale!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location was being improved and will be nice but we were there at a very odd time. Services were closed or not available. Room was freezing without heater on but warmed up after we left it on and left for a while. I’m glad WiFi was provided because we had no service. Rooms were spacious but not sure if they felt overall clean.

The room was really spacious and super clean, with heat that worked. Unfortunately, check-in didn't go so well. There was a sign on the door that the attendant would be back in 15 minutes. We had to sit in the car for half an hour waiting. The next morning, breakfast was not available. The cafe was not open, so we had to drive elsewhere to have breakfast.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was in fine condition, no exterior lighting on the second floor so walking to and from car was in the dark, there was an abandoned vehicle with broken out windows when we pulled in and driveway has loads of large potholes. I imagine this place had a lot of character at one point but, it appears severely neglected at this point. The diner was closed and the pool and area with creek running through it are closed.
