Not great

No idea where the lodge was because no directions were given by the desk. No one mentioned shuttle bus options, no staff in lodge to answer questions. Will not stay again

The location and property shuttle were great
Arpita, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lodge was nice. Great shuttle service around the grounds. A few hiccups. There was no elevator in our building so we had to drag our luggage up the stairs. Given the hotel rate we expected daily room cleaning. Didn’t happen. Coffee service in room was 2 6 oz cups of regular and 2 of decaf. Not replenished the second day
