This was my 4th time staying at the Lodge. It is clean, the staff is friendly, and in a good location. There is easy access to the highway with plenty of food, gas, and shopping nearby. You can't beat the price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
the room was clean and recently remodeled. The bed was comfy. The hot and cold water in the shower were switched so that when we arrived feeling coated with travel ick, we could not take a hot shower. Eventually, we figured it out, but it was very unpleasant in late December. While we tried to sleep, the heater cycled on and off noisily all night long. When the heater wasn't running, there ws no traffic noise and I think I would have given all the stars except for these two problems. It's a fine value and they should be able to fix the hot/cold switcheroo and if they replaced the heaters or fixed the air leak in the room, it would be nicer than what you would expect for the price.
