Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in one of the buildings near the lodge. They charged $259 for a Saturday night in mid May for a room that had cobwebs behind both beds. The door to the room was peeling from the bottom from obvious water damage. We had millipeds on the floors. The building is really old and musty and the weather stripping is not sufficient to keep the critters out. They shouldn't be charging that price for a room like this. I get paying more for the location, but this was not worth it.

Theresa

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The food was horrible, low quality. Tasted like reheated package food. The power went out at midnight, so of course my cpap stopped working. It didn't come back on so no warm shower in the morning. No coffee or breakfast. If that wasn't bad enough, these people had the audacity to refuse to reimburse for the night to anyone. Finally, days later, they told me because I had the cpap issue, they would be willing to call Expedia and ask for a 50% reimbursement. If you are a hotel and you can't keep the power on because you can't maintain a generator, then you owe every visitor a full reimbursement.
