The hotel lacked in room quality with old, dark, and slightly smelly accommodations, but the service was friendly and attentive. The location offered natural serenity but was missing nearby amenities. The dining options were subpar, although the price was reasonable.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were a delight after a long day, they were outdated and not as clean as expected. The service, on the other hand, was a shining light in an otherwise challenging trip. The location, though clean and in a nice area, was a bit isolated without easy access to shops. Unfortunately, the dining experience fell short of expectations, and the facilities could use some improvements.

My stay at the lodge suite was a mixed experience. The room was outdated and not very clean, but it was well-equipped with kitchenware. The staff was amazing, especially the front staff supervisor, and they were attentive in all aspects, even when running the amusement rides. The location was good, although not very near shops, and the dining at Smokehouse Grill was not very impressive. Overall, the facilities were average.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were well-stocked but could use some fixing up, and there was a slight smell of mildew and cigarettes. However, the service was a bright light with incredibly friendly staff, though they could improve their communication. The location was good, fitting the ranch theme nicely but facing noise from an industrial mower. The dining was just okay, with some room for improvement in the service. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory with opportunity for enhancement.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean and well cared for, had a slight smell of mildew and cigarettes which I found to be a downside, but overall, they were a nice retreat after a long day. The kitchen in the room was a convenient feature for those who prefer to cook during their stay.

The service at the hotel was excellent. The staff was attentive and catered to guests of all ages while ensuring a smooth experience, although the strict enforcement of tent checkout times was a bit rigid for my liking.
Location
6.0
The location of the hotel was charming with beautiful old oak trees, and being surrounded by nature made for a peaceful setting. However, the distance from certain amenities meant a lot of driving around, which was a bit inconvenient.
Dining

The dining experience was okay overall. The breakfast at the Smokehouse Grill was average, and the excessive talking by the rodeo announcer was slightly off-putting.
Facilities

The facilities at the hotel were decent, but they were a bit dated. However, having shops and laundry services on-site was convenient for guests.
