Okay
Bathroom clean but small. Room was very warm, 76 degrees, could not cool the room without opening the balcony door. Rooms small.

Enjoyed Casino...not so much lodging
Very basic. Was disappointed we didn't get any free play credit or meal credit at the Casino. Should of drove on the Turtle Creek. Not a good value.

Needs TLC, deep cleaning, and pest control!
We stayed one night at this location for our five day trip. First concern was the hotel hallway; it is very beat up and needs deep cleaning. The carpet was coming and in terrible shape. Our room furniture was also needy some TLC, curtains had spots & around the shower needed deep cleaning. The worse part was when we woke up at 7am and my husband had red bumps all over him. They appeared to be bug bites. I was wearing long sleeve top and long bottoms and had nothing. We quickly packed and left. He told the front desk, the lady working seemed uninterested. He did suggest that someone look at the room prior to having anyone stay in the room.

The lodge is small, but there is shuttle available anytime down to the casino. We loved how quiet it was, and how low key it was.

Very nice staff and very clean . The whole Hotel needs a face lift and updating. I would select this hotel every time if the interior and exterior were updated and had mini-fridges available for guests.

The shower was amazing. Usually with hotel stays you get the water saver feature ( translate lousy water pressure!) Wow felt like a firm massage. Front desk clerk personable and friendly. The grounds are pretty and low key atmosphere. We would stay here again!

What I liked: The location is nice, you're on the peninsula, the room was clean, the bed was firm (I liked it my wife did not).
What I didn't like: OMG put some new carpet in the hallways already! Disgusting! $225.00 and no frig or microwave, no breakfast, no place nearby (that we could get into) that sells breakfast.

Probably wouldnt book again
The place was very dated. One trash can didnt even have a bag in it. We only booked because of the option of a casino on lodge property.. which we found out has no table games nor bingo Monday-Wednesday. Of course we booked for a Tuesday. So the inflated room rate due to the casino on property option was not worth it in my opinion. Staff were all VERY Friendly!

Disappointing stay
Check in staff was rude. Carpets worn and dirty. Outdoor rec area was in disarray. Bedding was old. Still using bedspreads that likely are not launched are each use. Don’t stay here.
