Sick after stay due to previous flooding

My husband and I both left SO sick from the previously flooded rooms on the lower level ridge view rooms. Beyond sinus pain. It’s been a horrible week for one night stay.

Overall it was a good trip. The restaurant and bar were stellar. The room was attractive and the heated floors in the bathroom were a nice touch. Now for the complaint part. The masonry wall in the room had moisture seeping in along with numerous mushrooms growing at the carpet edge that was up against the masonry. The carpet was wet along this border as well as the sheetrock wall where is butted up to the masonry. The same was the case just outside the room on the opposite side of the wall. There were also numerous spiders and webs in both places. Not what one migh expect in a $300.00 plus a night room.

Lodge was cozy and lodge staff was friendly. Oak Steakhouse (on property restaurant) was tasty, but one of the bartenders was kinda crappy. We were ignored for several minutes standing at the bar, and finally another bartender asked this one to help us. He didn’t seem to want to but did begrudgingly. Well, he completely screwed up our to go order so in hindsight he completely ignored everything I said. Sad, really, that this one moment left the impression it did. Cause everything and everyone else was delightful! Heated bathroom floors!?!

Very remote and quiet. Had nice area with fire pits. The Oak Steakhouse was good but very expensive. If you want a view stay on granite side. The ridge top side does not have a view. There were both a dehumidifier and another air purifier. Room was a bit damp.
