Not fancy but pleasant stay

The check-in staff was friendly & helpful. Check-out was easy. We stayed 4 nights. They don’t enter your room during your stay, which we don’t mind. They are still willing to provide extra towels & garbage removal, if you let the office know. The room was clean, but the furniture is old & a bit worn out. The bed was comfortable. We would likely stay again.

Dont judge a book by its cover. This lodge was excellent. Can use a little update on the outside. But it was very clean on inside and rooms are spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. Check in desk was very friendly and helpful. Nice neighborhood and close to surrounding things to do. Would definitely stay again.
