Guests also appreciate the easy access to rental shops and shuttle services, which adds to the lodge's overall convenience.
While the lodge does not provide a formal breakfast service, guests can enjoy complimentary items like milk, apple juice, bread and cereal, which add to the cozy atmosphere. The kitchen, though lacking a microwave, is well-equipped for preparing meals and breakfasts, making the stay more convenient.
The rooms at Howard's Mountain Lodge are generally well-received for their cleanliness, comfort and spaciousness. Guests often highlight the cozy beds, ample room size and effective heaters that ensure a warm stay regardless of the weather. The quiet ambiance contributes to an overall restful experience.

Cleanliness is one of the strong suits of the lodge. Many reviews spotlight the spotless bathrooms, fresh towels and well-maintained shared spaces. The friendly and accommodating staff further enhance the welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal place for socializing and relaxation.
However, staff interactions can be mixed. Many guests have highlighted the friendliness and helpfulness of certain staff members, including the owner and manager. Yet, there are significant mentions of negative experiences with some staff, particularly at reception, which have marred the overall guest experience for some.
Free Wi-Fi at the lodge is another area with room for improvement. Guests frequently report weak or non-existent signals in the rooms with better connectivity only available in common areas or at the reception.

The cramped and constricted nature of the parking lot makes maneuvering difficult, although some guests have found the parking convenient during less busy periods.
Lastly, the beds receive mixed feedback. While many find the single beds comfortable and linens clean, issues with old, saggy and squeaky mattresses, as well as wobbly beds with unlocked wheels, have been noted. Despite these drawbacks, the value for money remains a strong point for many guests, suggesting the bedding meets or exceeds expectations relative to the cost.
