Kendall Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good
"This property is somewhat out of the old west. The room was tiny but adequate. The bathroom was some 40 feet down the hall - which makes mid-night runs a drag. The shower was likewise down the hall. However both rooms were, while small, were very clean and serviceable. I thought sure I was the only person in the building it is so quiet. I was amazed when I realized in fact I had numerous other visitors. REgistration was done at another hotel a block away, but my thanks go out to the polite and understanding young man who assisted me - a very tired traveler. The bedroom is spare and would benefit from some decoration (a picture or two for color) and a small lamp of somekind. I detest overhead lighting, but that's it! The beds were a tad lumpy, but again serviceable and clean. Thank you to the cleaning staff. Overall, it was adequate and in keeping with the price."

"I absolutely loved this place - and would book in the future. I was given the "Loft Room," which is a kitchenette-style unit. It was really a great room!! The bed/mattress was beyond top-notch comfortable and the room well-equipped with anything one could want. The staff was helpful and accommodating. The grounds were very well maintained and had a beautiful fire pit area with lots of comfortable seating and individual s'mores packets ready made for guests to grab and "melt" over the nightly fire. There is also a shuttle bus that can take you into downtown (.8 miles away) just one business down that leaves every hour - which is free and has multiple stops through town. I loved my stay here. Julie was a breath of fresh air to encounter after a long drive and I look forward to staying again, hopefully in my favorite room. AG"
