The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Both the room and the bathroom are big. We had 2 queens and a single beds, it's perfect for our family. The complimentary breakfast is great, too. Highly recommended.

It a wonderful hotel. The staff is really friendly and the food is very good. We originally booked a standard room, but they upgraded us since it was available at no extra charge.

Loved the atmosphere, it was a little warm sleeping. Need more fans or larger windows that open. Would stay again in cooler temps.

SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!! Talk about a very pleasant surprise or something being grossly underrated.
This is an outstanding hotel. The pictures on Expedia and the word “Lodge” in the name don’t do just to the quality of accommodation and the service level. The decor and the ambience - in the common areas and in the room set this hotel apart. Looks like the property has been completely renovated recently - everything felt very new.
We had an issue during our stay but they took care of it very quickly.

Even though hotel itself is reasonably good, surrounding area is not that good. Breakfast does not have much choices. We were 3 families who traveled together. For one of the families, they charged for 3 nights even though we all stayed only for 2 nights. They refused to refund the extra night charge to that 1 family. So, people should be careful with their billing charges.

Better than expected. Great room good size and all facilities but mattress very old and creaky as breakfast service let it down. Remember all yours cash only and nearby cash points didn’t work for us and hotel unable to give cash back.

Emilio at the front desk was very helpful. I did not get the name of the morning waitress at the restaurant, but she is definitely bringing a good and cheerful vibe to your morning even if you are in a hurry. Very comfortable beds and settings. We would recommend this place.
