When I got there I went in to my room both of the beds had a lot of stain and the pillows had hair on them but the staff were very nice and they helped us a lot and they helped us get a new room so when I was inside the room it was better than the last room also the elevation lodge was close to everywhere.

Pictures must have been older and were misleading as to the current property condition. Staff was friendly and accommodating, but cleanliness of the room and upkeep of the property left a lot to be desired, even at the price point. Cut our trip short and came home a night early to avoid another night in the room.

Misty

Think twice about staying here. The shower leaked from under the ground and flooded the bathroom and carpet anytime anyone took a shower. That left a terrible smell the entire time we were there. There was able a horrible beeping sound coming from inside the wall or ceiling that was awful, made it hard to sleep. I was never able to reach the front desk, at check in or check out to notify them. They have a phone number, I tried calling that, nobody answered. Best thing I can say, is it was a convenient location.

The room was ok. A bit expensive at $450 a night. The room had big chucks of paint peeling off the walls in the bathroom, the bathroom floor is extremely slick tile, and the shower sprays SCALDING hot water every minute or so while in use. It is as if the cold water just get routinely shut off once a minute. I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL BATHING YOUR CHILDREN IN THERE! The grounds are minimally kept. However, the staff was amazing and always kind and polite.
