The check-in experience unfortunately set a negative tone for the stay. The woman who greeted us came across as quite cold and unwelcoming, and her tone felt rough and off-putting right from the start. She also made it very clear that housekeeping would not enter the room unless specifically requested, which was communicated in a way that felt unnecessarily abrupt and uninviting.
The room itself was clean and generally fine, with no major issues in that regard. There was no outlet in the bathroom and the shower had a slight mildew smell, which was disappointing but not deal-breaking.
In terms of connectivity, cell service in the area was quite poor (which is out of the lodge’s control), but the WiFi in the room was also unreliable, which made it difficult to stay connected during the stay.
Overall, it’s a very no-frills option, but the initial interaction at check-in really affected the overall impression
