"This is my third stay at the lodge. My boyfriend and I stay here to acclimate for a couple days prior to backpacking the Rae Lakes Loop out of Roads End. This is the best and closest option for us as it’s about an hours drive to the trailhead.
The rooms are always nice and clean, with fresh bedding. There are no air conditioning up in the rooms but the weather is always favorable when we come in mid-late August so we just open the window and place the fan as close to it as possible. The beds never seem to be very comfortable and the pillows are way too soft, which is my main complaint. The bathroom was not perfectly clean, as I found a few stray hairs from a previous user. For the price, it could definitely be better.
The staff was great though! The guy at the counter was extremely polite and helpful. On our second day the same guy came and checked in on us to see if we needed any fresh towels or supplies, as I had opted out of housekeeping during check in for our two day stay.
While there is no continental breakfast, the lobby area offers coffee and tea, and a microwave. Board games and sitting areas are also present.
The price reflects the convenience of being inside the national park so overall my experience is what I would expect. We will definitely be back!"
