This lodge has been recently updated — and that mostly showed well, though the execution in some places (e.g., the bathroom) felt a bit spotty and I’m not sure the design was really thought out (very few hooks, no shelves, half shower door that sprays water across the floor). I liked the minimal design and space in the king deluxe room was good, though we didn’t really use the table and probably would have preferred a couch or chairs. AC is a window unit, which was fine for the space.
The views were incredible, the pool a nice respite from the heat and well kept. The bed was quite comfortable, food surprisingly good for a hotel restaurant (albeit not wildly creative), and the parking plentiful. The staff were also quite nice and very accommodating.
It would have been nice to have water in the room upon entry. There was a shack with “ice and vending” near us, but the ice machine was out of commission, there was no vending machine, and when I say shack, I’m being generous.
