We found the Sidney James Mountain Lodge to be a comfortable stay for a reasonable price. We loved the quiet location and that our room faced the creek, giving us the soothing sound of running water. We appreciated the free on-site parking and the trolley service right to and from the hotel. We enjoyed an evening in the indoor pool. The poolside cafe provided us dinner one evening and breakfast one morning and was tasty and affordable. In all, we enjoyed our visit and look forward to staying there again!
