Lodge was pretty good. Good location, walking distance to a few restaurants. Breakfast was included. Limited selection but pretty good. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Carpet in room needed a good cleaning

We have stayed at this hotel before and loved it. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean. The pool area is kept spotless, no mess. The breakfast is delicious. They make sure that they don't run out of food. It is hot and they keep the area very clean.

Though my first night was adjacent to the elevator and ice machine, which was a bit noisy, the staff was quickly to address it. Within an hour or two of me leaving feed back on how my check in went, they made arrangements for my room to be moved. All the front desk staff I encountered were more than friendly and hospitable. I’ve stayed in a lot of place yet non as accommodating as Wildwood Lodge (Clive, Iowa)!
