We were traveling through and just stopped for the night. We have stayed here before. Everything was good. We noticed the property is showing some wear. Still recommend it as a good place. Good area to walk and plenty of restaurant choices in the vicinity.

This is the second time that we have stayed at this location. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and well taken care of. This is near plenty of food options as well as shopping. We would definitely stay again.

This hotel was central to family we were visiting and the highway so ideal for us being from Minnesota. It was by far the least expensive of the well reviewed hotels in the area- that always makes me nervous. Why the lower price?
Answer- not sure. We asked for a room far away from the pool (which most are), the room was big, clean, and quiet. Perfect for us. My husband said the bed was a little head- I thought it was great. Breakfast was standard but well stocked and staff were attentive.
Last thing- we stayed a weekend when a youth soccer team was also staying there. At other hotels this has been a nightmare because of noise/yelling/running late into the night. We had NONE of that here. That alone is worth a rave review.
Thank you staff!! We will be back!

The only issue we had was the noise. We had a 2nd floor room on the poolside, and the noise from the pool was very loud. The rooms need more sound proof type windows, we couldn't hear our room tv over the pool noise. The service was great, room was clean and comfortable.

We really appreciated the staff serving breakfast EARLY so our athletes could eat before leaving for the day.

The place was very nice from the moment we walked in all the way up to the room. The people were very friendly the day/night we checked in and when we checked out. We definitely enjoyed our stay and will be back whenever we need a room again!

We found a bed bug shell in our bed the next morning and the staff refused to comp us what so ever.
10.0
Great decor and ambiance. The pool was warm. Hot tub was hot. Perfect for my kids. The pool is a little over 4 feet deep at the deepest part so no diving. The continental breakfast had lots of delicious pastry and other sugary carb options. Eggs were the only protein option and they were overcooked. Would be nice to see a wider variety of protein. I would definitely stay here again.
6.0
Honestly it was a decent looking place, but as far as cleanliness goes you should lose the glass on the tables and desk. Somehow it’s dirty underneath and you could tell they don’t remove the glass to wipe it down. Shower was dirty and scummy. Drawings on the mirrors from previous guests. And with the heat being turned off upon entrance the heater could never catch up with the weather. When trying to check in and out I had to search for an employee. Could see straight under the door so could hear every little noise in the hall from employees and other guests while sleeping. No one had taken care of any of the entrances upon arrival and leaving. Almost grabbed a shovel sitting there and took care of it myself. Breakfast messed my stomach up. Overall a mediocre experience. Flashy look with motel 6 experience.

It was the second time staying here during a couple long, two-day roadtrips. It's a comfortable hotel and they allow pets with a nominal fee. We'll definitely stay again on our way through town.

Always love our stays at Wildwood Lodge! Love the burning firepit outside, clean conditions and friendly staff. Beds are a little firm but rooms are clean and quiet. Full breakfast is delicious and filling.

Our room had no shower curtain but when we told them about it, they took care of it pronto!

We really like how homey this hotel feels and always stay when we are in the area.

When we checked in we were lectured that I wasn't allowed to have guests. Which was surprising and unusual, but I didn't think much else of it until Saturday night. The pool area was PACKED and we gave up after about 10 minutes. I am guessing they have a problem with people using the pool on the weekends who aren't hotel guests. The firepit Friday night was packed with people who had a few too many beers. So the two reasons I booked the hotel for three nights, two rooms, were both negated. We were policed about policies while they were ineffective in implementing those policies when it mattered. On the plus side, as usual the linens were clean, beds comfortable. We won't stay here again and sad to see how far downhill it's gone in the past year.

A comfortable experience with great rooms and service. Even for a one night stay, it was worth it.

We’ve stayed here a # of times traveling, very clean, staff always kind & friendly, we hv a small dog, they are very reasonable on pet charge & put you on the first floor so you aren’t taking your pet up & dwn on elevator, we appreciate that. Highly recommend.

The decor is fun and warm, the staff was lovely. Our room was clean and quiet despite being close to the I and a major thoroughfare. We're book again for tonight. We travel this route at least twice a year. This may be our go to on the future.

Thank you for being dog friendly. I love the green space outside to walk my dog and the fire pit is a nice lounging spot!

Extremely nice hotel. From 1st appearances it wowed me. The inside continued to impress me. I was greeted by receptionist when walking in. The place is very well maintained; comfortable, and welcoming. I highly recommend this and gladly give it the highest rating possible.

Check in was quick and friendly. The clerk was gracious enough to let us know that there was a bus tour group there and the would be leaving the next morning at 9am so we were able to wait until they were gone to go to breakfast. Everything was extremely clean, staff were all friendly. The fire pit was lovely! Would definitely stay here again!

The stay was amazing!! The staff were so friendly and so accommodating. We got in a couple hours early and they let us check in. They knew me and my husband were here for our anniversary and put us on the top floor so we didn’t have to listen to people “below” us. Love sitting outside by the fire. So relaxing!! Will definitely stay again!!

We had a wonderful stay. Everyone here is super nice and helpful. Anthoy checked us in and he was great to talk to and advised us for dinner. Love the outside fire pit...we will definitely come back.

Our family traveled to the area and searched for something unique with a pool. This place is a gem! Check in was smooth. Pizza recommendation was spot on! Breakfast was warm and inviting for our family. Comfortable beds. Bigger than average room. Nice bathroom! Overall we’d return!
