Cute, cozy place. Not fancy but clean and comfortable. Only downside is there was no air conditioning. A box fan was there which helped. Put a stand alone air conditioner like a space heater and you rock!

We stayed in the Spruce Lodge May 21-24, 2026. It was a nice comfortable stay. They rooms are recently renovated and had soft mattresses, new linens and towels, new bathroom fixtures, extremely good hot water and heat, a mini fridge, coffee maker, good WiFi and an easy check in system.

Managers were very hospitable and friendly. The units are old, but nice and clean. The only issue was no outlets in the bathroom and very few elsewhere. Just old, but comfy.
