Sportsman Lodge, Alpine

What a dump. You might as well put a sleeping bag out in the woods... at least then you will have a reason for all the bugs crawling all over you. I have stayed in quite a few low end hotels in my life... the difference is they charged low end prices and you get what you pay for. This place is about as far from a lodge as you can get. It is more like an old run-down motel from the movies where the crooks are being tracked down by the cops. The smell in the "office" should have been enough to make me reconsider spending any money, but exhaustion got the better of me. Too bad the exhaustion didn't make it easier to ignore all the creepy-crawlies in the room and let me sleep through the night. The rooms are tiny, and there isn't even a dresser. Although the closet did have an old hanger from a previous "tenants" stay. The bathroom was so small and cramped it was nearly impossible to shower or even use the toilet. Next time I am in Alpine, I'll be looking for someplace else to stay.
