“This lodge seems geared towards families on vacation, but reports of cleanliness issues give me pause. While the staff's friendliness and convenient location are definite pluses, potential guests should consider the mixed feedback carefully. I'd suggest weighing the price against the possibility of needing to adjust expectations for room condition.”
