This hotel includes a lodge, formerly housing for railroad workers, and outlying cabins, some of them converted rail cars. It is a charming place along the tracks with a playground, green lawn with chairs, and an appealing lobby and porches. Our room in the lodge, although small had been nicely restored and modernized.
Unfortunately.,there were many problems. In September 2021, with Corona raging, no staff member wore a mask. Our room was uncomfortably warm the first night. The next night, we discovered that: the radiator, set for off, had nevertheless come on. The front desk was frequently unstaffed, leaving guests waiting. The restaurant has a virtual monopoly in the area. and it shows. Prices are very high and food quality uneven. The first night, we made a reservation for outdoor seating. When we arrived, we were told that, due tof a large party. we would have to sit inside. After complaining, we were finally seated outside, where the space turned out to be more than ample. At breakfast I was told that the oatmeal I ordered from the menu was unavailable. How do you run out of oatmeal?! When I ordered the eggs with two biscuits from the menu, the order arrived with only one biscuit cut in half, and the server became huffy when I called the discrepancy to his attention. That evening, a half hour before closing, we ordered decaf coffee. The waitress said she would some, but then another staff member appeared and said that only regular coffee was available--how cheap!!
