Liked the clean room and the balcony. Loved the 3 lock system on the doors. Dislikes: the bed linens were not clean and the comforter was filthy. No AC, the dispensers in the shower did not work. Run down for the price. The part that takes the cake (from a professional electrician), is the power sketchy. Every time you try and use the microwave, the power dips really bad- a potential fire hazard! It was a really quiet place over all, lots of shade and didn't have to deal with barking dogs and loud neighbors.

The bed and room were clean and comfortable. I enjoyed sitting on the front deck and by the river. I was alone and felt perfectly safe. Nice food and coffee options were 5 minutes down the road.

We got key to our room. When we entered, room had not been cleaned! It was filthy. They did give us another room. That room looked like they hadn’t kept up with condition of rooms. Grout missing from tiles in bathroom. No stopper for bath tub to take a bath, floors needed a good scrubbing! How can you give a room to someone not knowing that it hadn’t been cleaned if you were the person in charge. I will definitely not stay there again.

This lodge is "tired" and needs an update. Thermostat on wall had no cover. Room lighting terrible. Pole lamps at head of each bed and desk lamp bestween beds). The ONLY ice machine was at other end of a block-long row of cabins. You have to dip room's ice bucket into ice reservoir since no scoop is provided (apparently to discourage ice chest filling since bags of ice are sold in office.) Bed mattress was okay, but whole head of bed tilted up when you sat on foot edge. Sheets were thin with some old stains on them even though they were washed. Room's only "sitting" chair was very old and dirty looking. Room has no AC. Not a problem when nights are in 50's but not comfortable during Summer days...plus no method of reducing allergins since no filtered AC. TV options were strange with few popular channels. Sound on TV worse than audio on a cheap bedside radio. Only national news that worked on the "newsmix" channel was CNN. WiFi was totally inoperable. Excuse offered was the provider's link hit by lightning. After I asked, clerk gave us $15 off per day forthe outage. That was appreciated, but we were cut off from email, messaging, etc. nevertheless. We had never been to this area but this lodge appears to be one of the more "worn out" lodges on the strip. I cannot recommend to other travelers. If we return to this area we will NOT pick this lodge. There are other options. Cafe next to lodge is not run by lodge owners and is OK.
No cover on heat thermostat.

Our room was upstairs but there were no lights on the stairs, they were burnt out. We did address the issue with the front desk and she said they would put a bulb in but it never happened and it was pitch black even during the day. Room was "ok", very outdated and a little run down. The flooring was bubbled throughout the room. Also, the lights would flicker constantly.
