The Lodge has had a major renovation so the material condition of the entire facility was like new. Off-season and mid-week, it was very quiet. Minimal staff was pleasant and efficient. Did not visit the casino. No dining facility in the Lodge. Convenient to restaurants.

Great place to stay, newly updated rooms. Close to everything in the peninsula. Downfall, the bed was awful. We would have been better off sleeping on the floor.

Very good value

We were very pleasantly surprised how nice our stay was. Just a quick overnight for me and my husband, booked on spur of the moment. Our king room was newly remodeled, very spacious and extremely clean. The bed was a bit too hard for our liking but we didn’t wake up feeling achy or stiff. Our only bit of disappointment came from the person who checked us in…she could’ve been a little friendlier. Would stay again and recommend to others.
