The park across Cedar Lodge was lovely with the stream flowing. We enjoyed our walk in the morning before we left for home.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

The room looked clean, but I think they have bed bugs. I could not sleep with itching all over my body. I am sorry, but it is about changing all the bed linens not just the fitted sheet and the top sheet.
