A-Lodge seems to have potential online, however the A-Lodge I pulled in to was very different than what was posted online. Online I saw a hotel approaching Boho Outdoorsy chic and what I found in person was a dusted off, old mountain motel. I arrived late at night and the lighting is quick difficult puling in late. I booked late so to be fair, check in details came late and were missed by me due to ZERO CELL PHONE service at the hotel. I actually don't mind this, however when you are trying to check in and did not receive the email in time, this was challenging.
Finally, the room, while clean and simple in its decor, was not great overall. The carpet is super cheap and thin and is clearly over concrete or smoother hard floor. The door was well worn, beat up and I could have kicked the lock open with minimal effort which did not inspire a confident night's sleep. And lastly, the shower is junk. Absolute complete rubbish. It was made up of the cheapest of cheap inserts which was also very, very small and felt even more small due to a curtain (as opposed to a door). The cold handle was falling off on my shower and more or less fell off while I was adjusting it. I had to push it on security to the valve to even change the temperature.
The in room heater was the icing on the cake. The heater is basic, loud and electric which made for a very dry room. I even got the morning bloody nose to prove it.
