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).

I wasn't looking for anything fancy; safety is my primary concern with hotels and i felt safe here. the property is tucked away in a residential neighborhood and it partly surrounded by a gold course. the room was a bit dated, with wear and tear showing on the carpet and walls as well as exterior. but it was clean and there was plenty of free parking. its a bit funny that you're charged an $11 "resort" fee per night here considering that's meant to cover your cable tv access and wifi...which are simply standard amenities rather than "resort" style amenities. But whatever. Overall I would rate my experience as throughly "fine"; no major issues but it certainly didn't wow me.

The room was spacious. I did pay for a golf view but didn't realize that it would be a view of the dirt driving range which was a little disappointing. But for the cost and the reasonable rate for guests who stay in the lodge this was a very satisfying room compared to the local hotels

The room smelled really bad and reeked of urin. There seemed to be a water stain next to the bed where the bathroom wall was. The view of the golf course was not worth the extra cost because it was just a dirt lot. The property was extremely dated including the room decor. Standard pillows on a King size bed and no extra blankets. No microwave and the refrigerator did not work well. The shower was nice with a high shower head for taller people.

You’d think staying on a golf course would be nice, but guests were treated like second class. The office had no staff until 11am. The rooms are so old and out dated with thin walls. The bathtub backed up and the water had so much chlorine you could smell it. My eyes were red after taking a shower. And since there’s no one around until check out time, there’s no one to complain to. Should cost $79 not $175 a night.

The location is a little out of the way. We did not try the bar or food onsite but heard it was very good. The facility is dated and in need of a big facelift. Staff was great but we did have housekeeping walk in the room at 8:30 without knocking. Front desk staff were awesome.
