we were right under the fireworks which was amazing. The check in was easy and the staff was great. The room was basic and outdated, with little to no amenities for the price.

The lodge is an older property. Despite the age, it was clean and did not have a meldew smell. I took a gamble on this brand as I am a hotel snob, but this was the only option available. The iron and ironing board were clean and it had a large fridge. The bed was large and the TV was nice. It had no carpet and the AC unit kept the room cool in 98 degree weather. The bathroom has been upgraded. There is one sink with little counter space. Staff was friendly and only interacted with them at check in.

When i arrived, i seen the setup and felt like it was a homeless shelter..i felt like i was in a MOTEL. I walk out my front door and everybody's sitting right outside my door smoking.and you can smell the smoke because the area is so small..i checked out 30 mins later. It just felt unsafe.and they refused to give me a refund

Below average

The front desk worker was not very helpful or nice. We were confused about parking because there is limited space and also confused where our room was because she failed to tell us the building next to the main one was also theirs. Our room was in the parking garage…very weird, not even upstairs, no right in the parking garage on ground level. I guess you get what you pay for. Wouldn’t stay here again but was fine for one night before our other property was available.

I was woken up at 1 in the morning with a bug crawling on my leg. Not sure what type, but I had a hard time sleeping after that. The was also a huge spider and web in the bathtub. The room had not been cleaned well.
