Bathroom could use a deep clean and scrub with the shower being discolored, but the rest of the hotel was perfectly clean. Staff was very friendly, and the ac worked well and was quiet!

Pros (+) Tastefully appointed hotel, clerk checking me in was welcoming and orofessional
Cons (-) The room was not cleaned to standards I’ve come to expect from a Hilton hotel. That alone wouldn’t have lost my business if the hotel staff had responded well, but when I talked to the clerk at the front desk, he was defensive. Made me feel like I was an inconvenience. My memory of this stay will include a toilet that didn’t flush right, not having a bar of soap for the shower, a big dark stain in...

Pros (+) The French toast and waffles were delicious
Cons (-) The view from our room looked out at a wall 3 feet away. When I tried to make coffee the coffee maker smelled like it had been cleaned with nail polish remover. When I opened a box of their soap and there was a pubic hair on the bar. This was obviously a used bar of soap.
Pros (+) I have stayed at The Lodge many times over the last 25 years. The hotel is still relevant and in good shape. The staff is excellent. The office facility is very good. The popcorn and bar in the evening, with a fireplace, is a great place to relax after a long day.
Cons (-) The office used to have two computers and now has one. I had to wait a few minutes to be able to get some work done. Not a big deal but maybe something that could be addressed.
Pros (+) Comfortable, nice bar area, cozy. Clean
Cons (-) Bar tender not quite with it. breakfast waffle maker a mess and needs instructions posted better.
Pros (+) The room we stayed in was adequate but not great by any means. This property is very old but has great potential. The room that we stayed in faced the court yard and had very tranquil qualities when we opened up the sliding glass door. Property needs an upgrade really bad. Location off I-75 is great and local dining places are very close.
Cons (-) This is a 2 to 3 star hotel at best with above average hotel rates. Owners and management need to upgrade the rooms and stop using caulk to cure 30 year old problems. Faucets and fixtures are from the 70's and should all be replaced. Has potential to be a great 4 star hotel. Would stop here again on business or leisure but not until the place has had a face lift.
Pros (+) Room we stayed in was huge! Our room had 2 double beds, and we had a pack & play for our baby. The room was so big that the pack & play didn't get in the way at all. Our 1-year-old & 3-year-old still had plenty of room to play on the floor with their new Christmas toys while we still had room to walk around. The lobby area is great with the lodge theme, sitting areas and fireplace in the middle. W...
Cons (-) Rooms are a little dated (but still very clean). No fridge or microwave in the room we stayed in (not a huge issue, but could've been helpful, and many other hotels include them nowadays).
