Overall Score4.0/ 5
Me and my son enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The lobby is super warm and inviting. Staff was very courteous. Breakfast served hot and with plenty of items to choose from. 24 hr coffee bar. Gym, pool, laundry all the amenities. The only area for improvement is the pool it needs a thorough scrub (greenish walls) and new water, since the one we saw was very murky. Otherwise a really great place to stay for families!
