Hawk's Nest Lodge

Crap The door lock it took at least 5x to get the door open. It needs to be repaired. no blackout curtains. kids up at 8 AM screaming and running around, not a place for a peaceful stay. the mattress was so lumpy, I checked out a day earlier. Just so I could get home & sleep in my own bed. Even the pillows were horrible. I'll never stay here again.

The pictures of the hotel, lobby and rooms on the internet are a honeypot play. Those pics are from several years ago and do not accurately represent the current conditions. A husband & Wife team took over managing the property about 3 years ago. This team handles everything including cleaning the rooms themselves and maintenance etc etc. Upon entering the main lobby I thought I had walked into the living room of a hoarder, there was stuff pilled up everywhere and nobody to be seen. I actually thought maybe the booking website was in error and this hotel was actually closed. After a minute or so the wife of the team came out and greeted me. After a conversation I was given my room key but she did tell me I may have to jiggle the lock to get it to open? I entered the "Non" smoking hotel room only to be greeted by a strong Oder of cigarettes, it smelled like a giant ashtray. A small couch was inside the room covered in stains, cushions, arms, everything stained from what appeared to be a result of people using the pool outside and then sitting on the couch with their wet chlorine soaked clothes, it was really gross. There was a sink outside of the toilet area and when I went to turn on the water the enter faucet lifted up and moved around several inches in all directions. Upon opening the door to the toilet and shower area the flooring looked like someone laid down regular plywood and just painted over it, the wood wasn't even or cut to fit properly.

It was disgusting. We left as soon as we saw the room. We would not stay there.
