The Lodge at Blue Lakes

No food options at all. Beds were ok, mold in the shower. The horrible smell from disinfectant they used when they cleaned our room. We had to air the room out before we could sleep there.

Access to the lake.

Very small beach without sand. The room had a heavy cleaning product smell with a hint of dog urine. Dinner plate sized cobweb with many many little lake flies in it. The blankets were worn. The microwave was dirty and a waterheater was in the bathroom mounted on the wall. It covered 1 or 2 more rooms as it kicked on when the water was used next door. Oh an the little flies that were in the room some had been smashed on the walls from prior guests. House cleaning must have missed it. We left after the 1st night stay. We had booked 3 days. No refunds for anything, zero.

I booked this from hotels.com using the reserved now pay later option. I reserved using my personal card but plan on using my business card when I checked in. When I checked in, I tried to put my business card down to pay and cover any incidentals but was told I couldn’t do that and they took payment from the card on file already. This is inconvenient because I have to wait days to get reimbursed. The room was clean but the mattress was hard as rock and whatever scent they use is over powering and made my eyes water the air conditioning unit was at bed level so it was blowing in my face or my back. My business meeting ended early I decided return home and asked if I could get refunded for the night I wasn’t going to stay but they said no which is fine just thought I’d ask. When I received my itemized receipt i noticed that room rate was different than the one I booked in Hotels.com. I asked the manager via phone since they were not on site why couldn’t changed the card on file when I checked in and she stated it was because they processed the payment 7 days in advance. I checked my bank statement and they did not charge me until I checked in on 7/27 and even my itemized receipt says charged on 7/27 so that reason was not true. I also inquired about the room rate difference and she told me I needed to take it up with hotels.com. This has been escalated with hotels.com but just a heads up if you book through a 3rd party you might be surprised at the end.

Great location with access the beautiful lake. Plenty of boat ,raft and equipment rentals to stay entertained all week. Great fishing right off the dock at the lodge. My family loved this place and we plan to be back soon

Cleaner used on the rooms was a tad too strong.

Checked in saw the amount of mold in the shower and lack of pool and left to go to another hotel. Room itself was okay,

Great place for the kids little beach with sand good fishing rent boats one great place rooms are great love the place

We have been going to LBL for almost 20 years now. This is the first year I’ve been disappointed in almost everything. It used to be that LBL was a resort and now it’s almost a glorified motel 6 on the water. First the price is the same as before- pricy but doable. We even added a night because we love to fish and they were on fire this week. The process of adding a night was easy from Expedia was fast, but I went to the office and asked if we could get a deal on another night. I was given a huge “Sigh”, and it will be $full price+tax. Plus the kitchenette rooms are not really set up for complete usage. The beds are the worst! Even our bathroom needed plunging on the first night. The office was closed and we had to wait till the next morning to get handed a crappy plunger. Also come to find out when it’s check out time you have to leave. You’re not able to stay the day without paying $$ for day use. WTH we stayed all week over $fifteen hundred and we couldn’t swim on checkout day. Btw during check in I stated I was paying cash and they had cards on file from previous visits that they tried running EVERY card on file for full price. SHADY!!! I’m so disappointed and deflated over our yearly family vacation that I will spend my hard earned money with another lodging on Blue Lakes for next year.

I Got No Room Service as far as cleaning replenishing the the bathroom towels got no visit from the housekeeping crew soon as I checked in that was it

Nice location room was clean and comfortable. Staff was nice.

Everything was fine

The property is dated and in need of some maintenance, website shows a pool and it looks like it hasn’t been operational for some years. Staffing hours are incorrect and too many inconsistent answers, no one can give you a straight answer other than the person doing the housekeeping or the guy working the boat rental who is working very hard. We won’t be returning to this place.
