Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This lodge was perfect for our one night stay before an early morning hike. We had 3 beds, a clean bathroom, shampoo (etc), coffee, a nice TV. Only advice would be to bring a blanket as the bedding was a little light. We really appreciated being able to stay here given the prices at other similar places. The outside might seem a little old school, but in the best eat, So clean and comfortable inside.

I really liked that the hotel was next to a grocery store. It was so convenient and made my stay cheaper than it would have been because I was just able to pop in and buy something to eat from the store.

All in all it was fine. Clean, lots of towels and soap. I turned a/c on but it never kicked on, which is fine because it's cool in the mountains. The shower only stayed hot for 10 minutes, with a big family that was frustrating. One last suggestion would be to remove the large screws that are sticking out over an inch above each bed at head level, my kiddo hit her head, thankfully minor but those could be dangerous.
