This place was great! Everybody was friendly, the pools were fun and opened for a long time, food at the café was yummy (especially the french toast), walking distance to all the shopping, the trolly pickup was right in front of the lodge if you didn't want to walk, and it was fun seeing the bears. The only reason I gave 4 stars for a few things is because the rooms are outdated. Our bathroom door was cracking, the fan didn't work, the tile in the shower was cracked, and you could tell there was a leak under the sink at one point. The other reason was that the café closed early (2pm) the one full week we were there. Even though there are plenty of places to eat in town, it would have been nice to grab something at the café at night. Though I didn't give them 5 stars across the board, we WILL be staying here again!

Property was off the main strip which is away from heavy traffic, however my room located near the pool was very noisy at 1am. Pool supposed to be closed at 11pm. When i tried to call office 4 times, no one answered. I didnt have a great experience as far as rest goes. The property was decent. They have a restaurant and indoor pool which is nice and convenient though
