The room was nice, the shower was hot, everything was clean, the bed was great! My only problem was it was Christmas and I couldn't get the room warm enough even with the heater on high. My feet were so cold the first night I couldn't sleep. Finally got warmed up in the shower and put all my snow clothes on including my snow boots. Second night was better. Room still a little chilly but my feet were okay with two pair of socks. No stores open on Christmas Eve in town to buy a heater. I did not comprehend at the time how to get a hold of any live person in case they could have gotten me a space heater. Later I realized there was a number in the unattended "lobby" that might have gotten me someone. I was pretty distraught at the time but looking back I think it's really a pretty nice place just come when it's a little warmer outside. I was literally the only one staying in this entire facility these two nights so I'm pretty sure it's set up for the summer.Rooms: My room was very clean and decorated nicely it felt like being home.Noteworthy details: Needs better heating.

To summarize my forthcoming lengthy review: This place is not worth half of what they charge. Do yourself a favor and drive a little further to go anywhere else. This place is way overcharging for what they offer.First the good:1. This was basically the only place open during the off season and able to accept a same-day reservation so I definitely give credit for being accommodating to travelers.2. Very clean room. Like, spotlessly clean. Plenty of clean towels and the room was nice and warm when we arrived.3. After about 10 minutes the shower got nice and hot.4. Had a small kitchenette with fridge and microwave.The bad:1. Let's start with the curtains. They were too small for the window.Which means, when I got out of the shower and walked in to the room area, anyone outside could easily see in to the room. Mind you, I showered at night, in a lit room, which means it is especially easy for any passerby to see directly in to the room. And the room we were given was along the main road, next to a restaurant, so opportunities for people to be passing by were aplenty.2. The faucet in the bathroom literally spit out water. Not flowed. Not restricted flowed, spit out.3. Yes the room was clean and they used plenty of cleaning solution. Like...lots of it! It smelled like a hospital.4. The bed felt like it was about 30 years old and was a cheap spring mattress.5. Weird seeping patches from a towel bar in the bathroom.6. Missing flooring in the closet.7. Fire alarm was removed and on the closet shelf.8. Coffee maker, unwrapped coffee pods...no creamer, no regular sugar.This was a $60-70/night room. $120/night in the off season for a room that doesn't even have adequate window covers is ridiculous. That was the tipping point for me. $120 was a rip off.

It is so great to have this place in the mountains, especially for a snowy night. Property management team is extremely helpful to remove snows and helped with everything you requested. Excellent team and professional. Highly recommended. Location is excellent too.Walkability: Right in town, restaurants, convenient stores and gas station are all in walking distance.Food & drinks: Good to have snacks and bottle water in the room.

I like retro places so we gave this place a try. It’s not retro - it’s old and not well maintained. The wall board is coming a part and we worried about mold in the walls. The sinks and tub are chipped and stained. I will say that it was clean despite the building being decrepit There’s a big sign saying they are going to tear the place down and build fancy condos.

This place is gross carpet is dirty and coming up the room smelled disgusting nothing was clean hair on the pillow and sheets and a hole in the blanket wallpaper falling off the wall bathroom smelled musty bath tub was not clean and had brown stuff leaking out of the jets and the walls in the bathroom has stuff on them and the Floors were dirty y nothing smelled clean or fresh had to go get cleaning supplies to clean it ourselves and even told management that it stunk and said they would spray and never did, the window have no screens so we couldn’t open the windows didn’t even sleep under the covers cause it’s was gross and did t use the pillow that had hair and some small stains on it and metal shelves and window were dusty and no a/c so very stuffy the only good part about this place is the outside area. Not worth your money too stay in filth:/ does not look like the picture

We were immediately disappointed when we walked into Room #5 after obtaining our key. It was not the same as the pictures online. The bedspread looked as though it had not been washed. The bed pillows did not smell fresh. There was no mattress cover. We felt as though we were in a very unclean room.We were grateful to receive a full refund. We will not be able to recommend this Lodge to anyone.

The prices aren’t cheap, but the rooms are. Feels like a motel you would find downtown in a large city from the 90’s. The room was clean, no a/c, small fridge, and had a fan. $200 for Friday night. We were desperate. Wouldn’t stay there again, but it gave us a place to sleep for the night. Not sure which rooms the pictures were taken, but ours had a lime green wall. Did not look like the pictures. Last update, the heater was on during the summer. No way to turn it off.

The location of this lodge is perfect. It's right downtown Garden City and close to all the fun shake shops and other restaurants. Another plus is the open grassy courtyard with the playground. A great place for gathering. The rooms leave a lot to be desired. They're very old. The carpet is worn and dirty. There's no AC, so they can get pretty hot and stuffy in the summer. There weren't enough outlets in our room. Very bare bones.

Was very easy to check in and out. Parking was convenient right in front of our room. The beds were nice and the room was clean. We could tell it was an old building. The shower didn't drain very well, but everything else worked and it was a good place to crash for a night.

My family has stayed here quite a few times. It's conveniently located. The beds are fairly comfortable. The room could use a little updating. I thought it had been updated based on photos uploaded, however, the room has not. Flooring is super old. No AC in the rooms. We used the fan provided in order to help cool the room down. It was a little restless of a night due to the heat. Price was a little high for the condition of the room but it was cheaper than other places around. We will stay here again just because of the location and availability of rooms they always have.

Great location in Garden City close to beach, restaurants and shops. Room smelled heavy with smoke. No air conditioning could easily be upgraded with window unit. Best part was the nice towels in the bathroom, actually luxury quality. Family friendly.Rooms: There is a difference between retro, vintage and “old”. We stayed in this motel 46 years ago and not much had changed. Very basic room.Nearby activities: Center of activity for the Bear Lake Area. Close to entertainment, good restaurants, water activities, church and marina.

There's quaint and retro and then there's run down and in need of maintenance. Not even sure why this place is on Airbnb since it's not a home, it's a motel. In room 7, paint was peeling off the walls. Looks like it hasn't been updated since the 80s. There was mold and water stains in the closet and the bathroom. The musty/mildew smell was almost unbearable. There is no lake access.But we appreciated the play area outside the room and the convenient parking right by the room. It's in a great location. Its just in need of some serious repair and updating.

The rooms were large and the kitchenette was stocked and quaint. I loved the green accent wall and old-fashioned kitchen appliances (the actual fridge was updated and the original equipment was used for a countertop). But the bathroom was not updated, and the closet behind the bathroom had had a leak some time ago. The mold was awful and everything smelled musty, despite the cleaning crew being thorough. We did see that there is a new resort being built right next to it, and once it is ready the Lodge will be torn down. The grassy area in the middle had a playground that the kids enjoyed, and there were chairs and firepits as well.

room 11 was incredibly outdated. In order to have hot water you need to "run the sink for 5 minutes"-management.Potholes galore. lake access is limited due to construction. Obvious wear and tear on the whole place.The room smelled decent, it was decently clean.Staff was great!Don't go here unless a future review says it's been renovated.Safety: Door knob is loose. don't see it stopping anyone with a decent kick from barging in.Walkability: abysmalFood & drinks: Real great, across the street you can get very good raspberry shakes, fries, and burgers.
