My stay at Sportsmens Lodge was enjoyable overall. The bar area had a great vibe, especially in the evenings, though it can get a bit slow during the day. The staff were super attentive and made the experience fun, but I wish the bar could stay open later than midnight.

I had a mixed experience at Sportsmens Lodge. The lively bar atmosphere can be fun, but it did get loud, especially with music playing until midnight. While I appreciated the friendly service and good location, the presence of some less desirable activities nearby made my wife uncomfortable. Overall, it’s a decent stay for those looking to socialize but may not suit everyone’s tastes.

I initially booked a Deluxe King Room, but due to a water leak, I was moved to a smaller room. While the staff were accommodating, I felt that a proper room replacement policy should be in place.

My stay at Sportsmens Lodge was entertaining, thanks to the vibrant atmosphere and wonderful bar staff. although the early morning breakfast crew could be a bit loud. The location was fantastic, close to local attractions, but the bar music was quite loud late into the night, which wasn’t ideal for everyone.

My room was directly adjacent to the bar, which made it quite noisy, especially at night. I had requested a quieter room but was told none were available during my stay. While the room was clean and spacious, I ended up wishing for a better location.

While the lodge had a range of facilities like room service and laundry, I was disappointed with the promised 'private parking', which turned out to be regular street parking. I did not feel comfortable leaving my car in a location I was told was 'less safe'.
