Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
It was great. We were only 16 to 25 minutes from most of the major attractions and many only 5 minutes away from the hotel. Shopping was only 15 minute drive and dining options. The electricity popped in the kitchen the second night we were there. I don’t know anything about maintenance because we were exhausted from everything from the day. I didn’t call them to fix it. But outside of that. We thought the room was spacious, clean, plenty of room to cook and bathroom was generous also. Very comfortable stay for 2 people visiting the area. I rarely turn the tv on but we did in late evenings. It was a nice surprise they had a large verity of channels available for viewers.
Rockerville Lodge & Cabins is very pleasant and relaxed. The staff are all great. The facilities are simple and cozy. The breakfast was very good with various cereals, fruit, and drinks.
I strongly recommend a stay with them.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Clean room, parked right in front of the relatively small room. Breakfast was average. Good deal for the money. My wife and I enjoyed the fact that no smoking was permitted and pets were not allowed.
The front office/recreation area was clean and had a decent amount of seating. The breakfast is simple such as cereal, oatmeal, English muffins. The front desk staff were nice. The property doesn’t explain that the part of the lodge is across the highway and not within walking distance of the office and breakfast. It is two levels and no elevator. The staff will come to your room and straighten up but they just deliver towels and cups/coffee during your stay. It’s not full room service. It was decent enough but I would have rather stayed on property in one of the one level rooms so my mother with bad knees and my father with a bad back wouldn’t have had to climb the stairs to get to our room.
