I Suggest no one to stay here. I have a service animal and the guy that checked me in made me pull my personal medical record from my Physician even tho me showing the Proper paperwork for her. Its illegal to ask what and why i have a service animal and hes been reported. Its the Nastius place ive ever stayed at. Wasnt there 10 minutes 5 car loads of cops showed up. People standing outside Screaming to the top of their voices. Kids screaming ALL night long. The pictures that are on here are NOTHING what the rooms look like. They are cold and empty. The walls are painted pink with not even one picture on them. I do not know how this place is passing inspections. If you are looking for a "dope" hotel this is the place to go.

Troubled neighbors
Check in was very smooth. The room was clean but sparse. This was a very last minute booking as I drove till I was tired and then looked to see what was available at my current location. Upon finding my room I was right next to what I thought was the teenagers room of a family and Dad was checking in on them as I arrived. All was well till about 11 pm then I heard fighting next door and the sound of someone being slammed against the wall. "The Dad" appeared at their door and one of them was escorted out to the car that was in front of my ground floor room's window. They stayed out there talking till 2 am then drove off. "The Mom" was heard saying that they have left and the rest of them should go to sleep. This left me with a very restless sleep worrying that, in anger, the other one might attempt a drive by shooting or something. I'll remind the reader that I'm only describing them as my 1st impression. I have no idea as to actual relationship of these people. I left at 6 am trying to get out, before that neighbor chaos started back up. None of this is the lodges fault, but the experience will stop me from returning.
