The appearance was nice and the staff was great. Room was spacious and layout was amazing. We stayed in the 2 level room. The electric fireplace did not work, the fridge cabinet was broken in the front and the bedding was very much lacking for the price. The biggest issue was the waterpark for me. It seems like the Lodge caters more to the surrounding public as a waterpark instead of hotel guests (could be just my opinion). Should not have a resort fee if public utilize the facilities as well. The water had far to many chemicals in it. The hot tub was so bad it burned your nose and eyes. The waterpark itself was very nice and a solid layout with plenty for kids to do. I most likely would not stay here again but I am geared more towards comforts such as good bedding. I would not say to not try the place out as it might be great for you. Definitely better for younger kids up to early teens and the chemical thing might have been a 1 off mistake but not certain. The breakfast buffet wasn't great for the price but definitely was good with many choices.
