The hotel rooms were spacious, clean, and well maintained, offering a comfortable stay. However, there were issues with the musty smell and lack of cleanliness under the bed frames. The location was convenient, close to nearby small towns and with plenty of entertainment options. The dining experience was delicious, but with some room for improvement. Overall, a mixed experience with room for enhancement.

Staying at this lodge was a real treat. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, with the added bonus of being able to see into the pool through a see-through glass. The lodge also offers live music bands, enhancing the overall experience. However, there were a few issues with the room regarding renovation, such as the balcony door and the toilet door not functioning properly.

The service was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to make the stay memorable. The dining options were varied but could be improved. Overall, a distinctive stay with some room for enhancement.
