Very nice lodge! Water pressure and hot water not very good. Breakfast buffet very good, but $26 per person. Suggest eating light in the coffee shop inside the gift shop. Terrific coffees and breakfast sandwiches and pastries will save some money. Good shuttle to downtown, $10 per person day pass. Staff was very nice. Take a walk in the gardens along the river...beautiful.

Nice property. Very convenient location. Clean room/excellent housekeeping. Good restaurant choices & a beautiful outside patio. Friendly staff. Had a little glitch at check in but it all worked out. Not a fan of them delivering luggage because it took several hours for ours to arrive & also had to have it ready 3 hours before departure....both of which were inconvenient.

Arrived at 2am and were given keys to an occupied room. second attempt was also an occupied room. Finally got a workable room with the requested king bed. Next day we were notified we had to change rooms because we were outside of the block of rooms for our cruise. Got into the new room and it was a 2 double bed room. Front desk didn’t care and couldn’t figure out how to keep us in the same room.

I would not give a wooden nickel for the people/staff at the front desk. Apparently calling ahead to make specific arrangements falls upon deaf ears. The communication gap insufferably contentious. Problem solving issues is not the forte of the front desk. They were going to make us change rooms during the middle of our stay rather than change their computer record.
