We were so excited to visit the lodge. Until we got there. Let’s start off with… The water park opens at 4pm!!! I booked it for my kids!!! Are you kidding me? Next, the restaurant was closed 2.5 of our 3.5 day stay. If you don’t know-it’s the ONLY restaurant on the property which is located in the middle of nowhere! We showed up to the bar to order from the limited menu but they were 5 minutes from shutting down , and the cook had left! It was 8:55pm on vacation. Then, the lady told us they open back up at 10p for a couple hours but guess what? That late night menu has like 6 gross things on it. The next day we booked a spa appointment online. Then, when we showed up, they told us that they didn’t know anybody scheduled anything and so they sent everyone home!! To top it off we drive to Cortland. They literally close all the restaurants at 9pm! We barely made it in into a pizza place that closed at 10p for them to tell us that most of the menu is not available because it’s in the freezer. They are stuck in 2020 and refuse to change. The only good thing about the trip was some hiking in Ithaca. The city of Skaneateles was so cute but FULL of pride flags. No thank you. It felt gross there. Especially to see a Pride flag in front of an Episcopal Church. I thank God we live in the beautiful state of Florida. This entire area does not suffer from working too hard or wanting to rank highly on customer service. They should put a sign out that says “tourists don’t come.”

I was under the impression that the Trax restaurant was also at the main lodge so we had a long walk. Also, it mentioned a pool for amenities which I never saw. Lastly, check out is way too late for that price. It doesn't give us much time at the hotel itself.
