Not great

No idea where the lodge was because no directions were given by the desk. No one mentioned shuttle bus options, no staff in lodge to answer questions. Will not stay again

Lodge was nice. Great shuttle service around the grounds. A few hiccups. There was no elevator in our building so we had to drag our luggage up the stairs. Given the hotel rate we expected daily room cleaning. Didn’t happen. Coffee service in room was 2 6 oz cups of regular and 2 of decaf. Not replenished the second day

We booked our stay directly and not through Holland America. Check in was easy, the lobby nice, but the restaurants did not seem very interested in serving us at 8:30 pm when dinner service ended at 10. Then when we got to our room in the Canyon lodge, we noticed the worn down state of the rooms. We had a thermostat that controlled nothing. We couldn’t even find a vent in the room. The bathroom could use some attention too. Hopefully Holland America can upgrade the rooms as they become more familiar with the property. The second day, we wanted to buy sandwiches from the cafe in the lobby at 12:30pm. There was a sign saying “will return”. We had to ask for the manager to look for someone after ten minutes went by and no employees appeared. It also seemed no one in the lobby knew what people across the hall were doing. Someone finally came and the sandwiches were expensive and not very good. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious. All in all, I think we would pay more to stay at one of the nicer properties next time.
