Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Far exceeded my expectations

Check-in was smooth and fast. The room was large and either very recently renovated or extremely well maintained. Cleanliness was flawless. One trivial, less than ideal comment. The rooms on the west side of the building do not have adjacent parking. In this case, the parking lot is behind the next door business. It is not a long walk but if you have limited mobility, you had best let the hotel know in advance not to assign you one of those rooms.

Exceeded Expectations

Did not expect much because I avoid motels. This was absolutely the cleanest and most comfortable stay on our 3300 mile trip. I am trying to find reasons to stay there again

Great little gem

Lodge is a near perfect stay! The beds are comfy, the rooms are nice. Not a deal breaker, but the internet/tv struggles. I would stay here again for sure. Eat at Prime Eats around the corner, delicious food.
