No AC and on Expedia when I booked it didn't say that. When we got there and found out the front desk said it would cost another $150 to get ac cabin. Went to eat picnic dinner at lodge overlooking the view bc that was the only place with a view and were told the seats were only for the restaurant patrons so overall no views, no AC, pricey and not worth it.

It is a great place with lots of great trails and the lodge is pretty with a coffee shop that opens at 7am and closes at 3 but there’s plenty of other places to eat, drink, sit, relax and take in the sights. Highly recommend!

While the location is unbeatable, the best that can be said for the lodging is that it "gets the job done." The spring mattress bed was old and prevented us from getting good sleep. The bathrooms were only okay - the shower curtain is so close that it touches you while you shower, and the floor of the shower should be refurbished. The sink and shower are low pressure, and both would benefit from being updated. The food at the Lodge is okay. If you think of this as a glamping experience, it will be top notch, but don't expect a great hotel experience with all the amenities.

Simply not what we expected when booking. Although immensely grateful to have experienced one of the national parks, this just didn’t live up to the standards we have when it comes to cleanliness.

I loved how conveniently located it was to all the trails and the restaurant on site. The food and coffee shop was pretty good and the views were so amazing. The Expedia ad did not say anything about the room I booked being a “traditional” room meaning no A/C or refrigerator. The WiFi in the room was very bad and if I wanted to use my phone I had to go to the main lobby. But other than that my stay was great! I would book again!
