Depressing little dump down the hill. Even the start was bad... the lobby closes at about 9 pm and you have to ring a bell and/or telephone for somebody to come. Finally I checked in, then went to my room and couldn't get the lights to come on. So I went back, rang again, and the surly man reluctantly came... More

On Friday night we checked into this place to begin our weekend at The Valhalla Renaissance Faire. Upon entering the room I immediately smelled something foul. The curtains were next to the extremely old heating unit and were beginning to discolor from being almost melted/caught ablaze. Upon opening three different drawers, there were old used tissues and crumbs everywhere. the... More

I stayed at this lodge just before Memorial Day. It's in the shadow of Harvey's Hotel and Casino and about four blocks from the beach so an almost perfect spot. The price was $38 a night for two weekend nights so a tremendous value. Front desk staff was friendly. Room was fairly spacious. Amenities were a little old but you'd... More

We thought the photos did not reflect what was there when we arrived. Although the room was large and clean the carpet was absolutely dirty in our room. Huge black marks all away around the door like someone has taken a bike apart in it. You couldn't walk around the room in bare feet or you would have dirty feet... More

I can only say some people must have the standards of HRH The Queen! This hotel was in the most beautiful location within walking distance of the ski lifts and some lovely eateries. The couple who run it were more than helpful with suggestions of where to visit, eat and things to do. The hotel was very clean and comfortable.... More

I don't know where the other reviewers stayed, but it was not this hotel! This place has never been anything but clean in all my visits over the years. Rooms are good sized, lots with beautiful wood beamed ceilings, huge closets and clean bathrooms. This will always be my choice of place to stay when at the Lake! It is... More

We got an excellent rate for this hotel. 1. The rooms are small, but you're only in the room to sleep, so we didn't really care. Breakfast is minimal but also didn't care as we aren't much breakfast people. Internet was spotty, had to use it right by the window. 2. Lots of parking and free! 3. Location a BLOCK... More
