Many reviewers have found the beds to be comfortable, contributing to a restful night’s sleep. The air conditioning in some rooms is an unexpected bonus for those visiting, ensuring a pleasant atmosphere despite the heat outside.

However, guests have consistently remarked on the compact size of the rooms, which are often smaller than expected. The lack of adequate ventilation and limited seating options can make the space feel even more confined, especially for larger groups.

The decor in certain parts of the lodge is beautifully done, which enhances the ambiance for some, although others have noted that the rooms don't quite live up to the pictures online.

However, there is notable feedback suggesting inconsistency in comfort across different rooms.
