It’s worth staying just to see the history behind this, what could be incredible place. We hope they get to finish the restoration as it is amazing. It’s old a very dated, it’s clean inside the room. Off street parking, a great little bar to meet the locals and the bar staff are really nice.

Beautiful area and cool historic aspect to the lodge. It’s a work in progress with the remodel. The room was super comfortable and clean, it’s all brand new. Nice TV, good desk for working and onsite store with beer/wine. Great rate foe the value - cafe was closed on Monday / Tues during my stay: I’d stay here again!
