Clay was awesome. We had some minor issues and he took care of it as soon as he could.
There is no office at this location, but the management kept in contact with me and was very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. I would stay here again.
Quick trip to Red River for Spring Break and the lodge was ideal. Quiet, clean and very accessible to resort, dining and shopping. The room had everything we needed for our stay.
After reading the reviews and reviewing the photos prior to booking this lodge I am SHOCKED at how the ratings are so high. Check in was easy and convenient I’ll give them that but the images online did not compare to the room we were in. It smelt like old mildew carpet that was being masked by cheap air fresheners. We found random trash from previous guest that hadn’t been cleaned. The bathroom was so small, and I hope you’re not over 5ft tall or your knees will be in the wall while you use the toilet. I probably could’ve over looked all these inconveniences if it wasn’t for the bed…first off it was propped up on wooden blocks! But secondly I’m convinced they have more comfortable beds at the county jail. I have never slept on something so hard in my entire life. We ended up sleeping on the fold out futon. But between the noise of the neighbors and the uncomfortableness we slept maybe a total of 2 hours.The room we booked was non-refundable which sucks but we ended up leaving and finding a new lodge because we would’ve been miserable sleeping on that thing one second more.
We were very disappointed in the cleanliness and condition of the hotel, which started with the unlevel stairs, old furniture in the walkway and 1970’s dirty shag carpet. We left after the first night leaving the payment of $110.00 for the second night.
Checkin is contactless. No key or card just a 4 digit code they text to you just before checkin time. That was good for me because I had a late arrival. Ease to find the place. The town offers a free transit service that picks up and drops off at the lodge. Pets are welcome with a single fee for the stay. Overall it was a very nice place.
