It was fine. It's a dated lodge but it was perfectly acceptable. The room was large, the bed was decently comfortable, although additional pillows would be nice (maybe in the closet).

This place is loud...and I mean LOUD! You can hear conversations through the walls, people stomping around above, milotary planes flying overhead at all hours of the night, air conditioner fan buzzes. I had to wear earplugs just to sleep through the night. If you're deaf, the noise won't bother you... ...if you're *not deaf, you soon will be.😏

Was looking forward to enjoying the hot tub. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not hot. Dpokecto the front desk who said they would take a look at it. Tried again to enjoy the hot tub the following evening, but it was still not hot. Very disappointing indeed. Beyond that, room was clean, and it was very quiet.
