I was really disappointed with my stay at Elevation Lodge. The room was not clean — the floor was dirty, and the towel in the restroom still had someone else’s hair on it. There was also a bad smell in the room that didn’t go away. The toilet looked old and seemed to have plumbing issues. When I checked out, I mentioned all of this to the receptionist. He said he would let the manager team know, and while I believe he did his best, it felt like a useless response with no real resolution. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my experience.

We had a incredibly comfortable stay at Elevation Lodge. We loved our spotless room with amenities like tv. refrigerator and microwave which came handy for food. Lighting in room was adequate and desk came handy. Location of the hotel was great close to famous Heidi's restaurant and CVS store. Neighborhood was peaceful and hotel had an realxed atmophere specially at night.
