Classic Room (Lodge)

The room is set up with 1 King Bed or 1 Queen Bed, dressed with bed sheets and fresh towels. It is designed for two guests, so it suits a couple or two friends travelling together.

Yes, the Lodge is the one part of the property where dogs are allowed. The hotel does not allow pets in the Main Building, the Aspire residences or the Condos. The limit is 2 dogs, and no other animals. The fee is $75 non-refundable per stay for the first dog, plus a $50 non-refundable deposit for a second dog. Some guests report that pet rooms are on the Lodge's first floor and recommend a Lodge King room if you are bringing a dog. Service animals that meet ADA requirements are welcome in any case.
