Location is conveniently close to attractions. Very limited food options, bed was uncomfortable. There were cobwebs in the inside upper corners of windows and behind bedside tables. Cushions on chairs had torn up seats.

Only shortcoming is lack of dining facilities. The park restaurant had decent food but is basic and a walk from the hotel.

We arrrived and checked to see when our room would be ready (we were early) we were able to get a short hike in, still many roads closed because of winter travel. Shopping, visitor center walkable from the lodge, dining room food was decent you order at the desk and it comes out kinda of carry out style to your table. Lodge is rustic and what I would expect at a national park. Most visitors hung in the lobby around the fireplace and played games in the evening because to get other places is probably a 45 minute drive. The road is windy and at times foggy so getting places quickly is not an option.

Property is good but you can hear noise or kids running around. The lodge shoud not accept reservations if in those months most of the activities or roads are closed.

Unfortunately we did not make it to the hotel due to a bad snow storm, we tried calling the hotel to cancel and no answer. Expedia also tried calling and no answer, then they refused to refund our money back. Definitely not an unsatisfactory idea. I would have at least appreciated a credit for future use. HORRIBLE SERVICE!
