I really wanted to like this hotel
While this hotel is not a true lodge, I was impressed with the non-traditional look of the hotel. I liked the little touches and surprises found all around the hotel. there was even a bearprint on the sand of the ashtrays outside, very cute touch.
The beds were very comfortable, but the pillows differed in comfort. Some were great, others felt like wood. Some of the office chairs leaned back while others were straight forward only. Only one part of the hotel is wireless, the rest is wired. Make sure you specify your preferences. The breakfast was the best I've seen in many hotels, very tasty.
With all these things going for it, I really wanted to give a good report, however...
I spent the first week struggling to get online in a wireless room. They suggested logging on in the lobby and then takign it to your room. I was only 3 rooms off the lobby. I had them calling their tech company almost everyday with very little results. I eventually changed rooms to a wired room after buying the needed adapter for my laptop. (yes it's that old) The connection there was great but in the second week they tested the fire alarms in the middle of the day twice. 1 1/2 hours the first day, about 20-30 minutes the next. I worked midnights while I was out there and this was impossible to sleep thru. I can understand any business having to stay within code by submitting to periodic tests. It was just unfortunate that i was there during their test.
I was told they are looking for a different company to handle their LAN. The owner was very nice and got to know me by name. He spent a half hour with me tryign to help me gte connected wirelessly. He was always very apologetic about the issues. He had offered a free meal to compensate, The office manager offered a few free nights to compensate for all the troubles. Neither one panned out. I even mentioned it when I checked out. The attendant promised to look into it. As of this writing, my card has still not been credited. These offers were unsolicited and had they followed thru, I would have a very different impression of this hotel. But I will not be going back.
