Excellent

All staff were so kind, always willing to help, and very professional. So thank you to each and everyone for everything!
However, the premises are in serious need of renovation and update, and the couches should be replaced by new ones, with no stains or holes.
Also, while the communal area was decently heated at night, it was quite cold in the morning.
Finally, breakfast was a little too basic for the price we paid (the average price of a 5-star hotel).
So altogether, overpriced accommodation with a large room for improvement.

For a lodge is good
This is a lodge, not a hotel so that people need to manage their expectations, main points:
- Staff is friendly
- Hotel is warm enough for cold weather, but no control for heating is in the room, it is centrally controlled
- Toilets, bathroom and hot water are all good
- Beds are not very comfy
- Have not tried the lodge restaurant food
- Complimentary hot drinks and drinking water tap are in lounge area only, so you have to leave your room for those and go back
- Kitchen area for cooking your own food is available
- Cleanness is average (unless you're not fussy)
- Free parking is available
- Continental breakfast is average
We enjoyed our stay here, its very family friendly and excellent place to stay for a trip to the mountains and areas nearby. With unlimited tea/coffee and a wonderful lobby area with games to play and a fireplace, made the stay really enjoyable !
