Horrible place, dirty bed, we had to grab sheets and our own pillows from our camping gear, the front desk is absolutely no help. I have never been to a worst hotel. If you care for your safety and health, don’t stay at Elevation Lodge!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff was pleasant and helpful. An older tired facility.
It’s easier to name the things that are good about this property: comfy bed, soft towels, working fridge, space to park a trailer. Everything else is no bueno.
I haven’t enjoyed this property at all
Staff isn’t staying in an office for check in at 4:20 pm and some other time as well
You have to call to in front of office
Room is small and not clean feeling
Shower room is tiny and dirty
Some Towels look old like trash
I had never seen before this kind of motel
Review said 10/10 mostly which is faked
I give 2/10 that’s real honest review

I was really disappointed with my stay at Elevation Lodge. The room was not clean — the floor was dirty, and the towel in the restroom still had someone else’s hair on it. There was also a bad smell in the room that didn’t go away. The toilet looked old and seemed to have plumbing issues.
When I checked out, I mentioned all of this to the receptionist. He said he would let the manager team know, and while I believe he did his best, it felt like a useless response with no real resolution. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my experience.
We had a incredibly comfortable stay at Elevation Lodge.
We loved our spotless room with amenities like tv. refrigerator and microwave which came handy for food. Lighting in room was adequate and desk came handy. Location of the hotel was great close to famous Heidi's restaurant and CVS store. Neighborhood was peaceful and hotel had an realxed atmophere specially at night.
