I love the lodge decor and comfy feel of this hotel

This hotel rates high for great decor and hospitality. The breakfast was fresh cooked eggs and plenty of fruit and pastries to fill you up. Our room was upgraded to a king -board room suite with separate bedroom,massage recliner chair, jacuzzi tub, large bathroom with walk in shower and a half bath and kitchenette in the living area with a board room table. We weren't having any meetings- ha ha, but we arrived so late they had given away our king room. I felt like we were in the lap of luxury with 2 TVs too. The indoor swimming pool was very inviting with (fake) rock outcroppings and a large hot tub. The decor is mountain lodge rustic with canoes, bears and moose heads around the walls and large, very comfy chairs and sofas filling the main room for relaxing with friends and families. There is also an outdoor fire pit with plenty of seating - very inviting. I will stay here again.…

Hi Michael, thank you so much for all of your amazing feedback and your 5-star review! We are so pleased to hear your room exceeded expectations. We look forward to you staying with us again soon!

Big room but interior is tired

We had a large room with a king bed that was very comfortable and generally quiet. The bathroom was also quite large with a large counter and a large "unusual" prefab shower. The water pressure and constant temperature were good, but the tattered towels need replacing. We also had a failing fluorescent light tube in the bathroom, but the maintenance man replaced it pronto. The bathroom fan was also quite noisy. Hall carpets also had issues and need to be repaired/replaced. The hotel is a bit tired throughout and thus was a bit more expensive than we believe it should have been. Breakfast was decent and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were given 2 drink vouchers at check-in which were interestingly redeemable only at the front desk. The outside fire pit in front of the hotel is a nice feature that was well utilized.…

Meant to be about hospitality

Have been on a 5k Roadtrip around NW USA from the UK staying in 14 different hotels. Most good and in most cases very friendly staff. Have only met one here, the receptionist, but first impressions count. Think I disturbed him from sitting in the office watching TV. Conversation and greeting was “name”, “name”, then again “name” which I told him for third time. He then shoved a key card across the desk towards me and muttered something about the elevator. When I came down to bring in luggage he was back in the office with back to reception. That has set a bad tone for my stay. Surely staff could at least greet customers. After all it is meant to be about hospitality?…

Hi Ian, thank you for taking the time to review your most recent experience at the Wildwood Lodge.

Please know that we take guest feedback very seriously and your comments have been shared with our management team and will be handled internally. I appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope your road trip continues to be a success!

Basic hotel

The hotel has a nice outdoor seating area and is in a good location. They provide an area in the lobby that is nice seating. Hotel decor just not my style but some would like-that is a preference thing. Rooms are of nice size and bed was comfy. The downside is that there was some kind of dirt(?) in my sink, a dirt smudge on my bed sheet and a funky mildew\locker room smell in the bathroom. Others I was with had some lack of cleanliness comments also; it is too bad because the hotel has some positives but can't give it a higher rating due to lack of cleanliness…

Overnight stay- family of 5

We stayed overnight as a family of 5. We arrived late and the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. We received two adult drink vouchers to use during our stay. We didn’t get to use pool due to our late arrival. There is a nice outside sitting area with a fire pit. It was being well utilized by a large group. The hotel and room were clean and accommodating. We stayed in the queen bed with sofa bed room. The sofa bed was twin size and the mattress was horrible. Our son ended up putting it on the floor and on top of the cushions. The queen beds were comfortable to sleep in. Our only real complaint is that the walls seemed paper thin. We could hear the conversations of the rooms next to us. I ended up using ear plugs but my husband and son reported that the room next to us was up into the wee hours “making babies”. Shower was nice and good pressure. Toiletries were in a container in shower. Breakfast was warm and well stocked. Staff again was friendly and helpful. Based on the sleep experience, it really is probably a 3, but the staff and cleanliness made up for it for me.…
