Room was significantly less quality than pictured. Bath tub was grossly stained, floor needed to be swept, sheet rock on the ceiling looked like it was recently patched but still looked questionable, window treatments were half hanging off. We went to check out the hot tub are and were disappointed to find that it’s in the parking lot, the mountain side view pictured is quoted deceiving. We also found lots of dog poop right by the gate to get into the hot tub area, looked like it has been there a while. At this point we decided we should check for bed bugs, went back to our room and started pulling sheets off the edge of the mattress. We did not find signs of bed bugs but our sheets had blood stains. Went to front desk and asked if we could change rooms and was told that the only other room available had an active leak in the ceiling so we could not have it. We were denied a refund. Ended up leaving and staying somewhere else. I understand it’s a cheap hotel but the place should be clean at a bare minimum.

Staff was friendly at check in. An hour before check out they knocked on our room door to remind us of 11am check out. Breakfast was questionable coffee was thick and very heavy. Air conditioner in room was plugged into a six way electrical strip. Severe electrical hazard. Room mirrors were very streaky, towels had stains on them. The bed was made nicely and fairly comfortable. We did, however, enjoy the outdoor hot tub at night! Probably will not stay there again unless it’s the last option, like this time was.

I'm not sure I can really review the property properly since I was never checked in. I got there around 5 or 6 pm on the day of check-in and the whole lobby was dark and deserted. There was a phone with a note that said to dial 0 for check-in but when I tried it, I only got a busy signal. I spent 15 minutes walking around and talking with my traveling partner and still no one came out to check us into our room. Eventually we left and booked a lovely room in Deadwood instead. I still have not received a refund from the lodge or Expedia who I used to book this travesty of a hotel. The outside is in quite a lot of disrepair including broken room windows, cracked parking lot, and the place looked abandoned.

We did not stay after checking in and being shown the room. The hotel lobby was dark and looks different from the online photos. I checked in and was walked to my room to make sure the key worked. Well, it took three men to be able to even get into the room. I was told the front desk could let us in when we needed to get into the room, which was ridiculous. It was obvious the door handle and locking mechanism was not working properly. Got into the room and it smelled awful, was dirty, the pillows smelled like dirty hair, the desk chair should be in the trash, the screen was off, and the paint was peeling. Laundry room out of order and so many comments about the lack of hot water (for weeks!). How are they washing linens?? Exterior doors unmonitored in back and unlocked until midnight - absolutely not. I went to the desk to say this was not as advertised and I expected a cancellation with full refund. We went down the road to another hotel because there was no way we could stay here. Was told no because I booked through here. Hotels.com was helpful and tried to contact them for a refund to no avail. I finally got success with my credit card company after over a month of this. I learned later they have black mold (maybe that’s why our room smelled). The major issue I have is this appears to be the hotel owners MO from all the comments - get the bookings, get the money, and refuse refunds. Do not book here!

The room was dirty and filthy. It looked like it hasn’t been stayed in in months hair in the bed hair in the bathtub, dust all over the room, food and paper and dirt on the floor. The hot tubs were so milky, white dirty that you couldn’t even see the bottoms they would not refund our money but we refuse to stay there. I 100% do not suggest staying here it was disgusting.

We has no hot water. Was not informed at check in. were told it would be resolved within an hour and still not hot water upon check out the next morning. Found out speaking with other guests several others also had no hot water, a few even had gone a couple days without. Should have been notified upon check in. NOTHING offered to compensate,discount. Breakfast was cold.

Gaming machines disabled. Safety non existent. Not clean. Didn't trust the food or the hot tubs based on the state of everything else. Save yourself the sleepless night and chose another property.
