Best Western Ptarmigan Lodge

Hotel is spread out over several buildings. Grounds are well cared for. I had booked ahead and requested a balcony room with a view (see photo). This hotel does not have A/C but did have a ceiling fan in room. We always bring our own box fan, so with two fans, was very comfy for sleeping in July. Beds great as always at BW. Breakfast area was small, but we arrived a few minutes before it was to be served and had no problem getting a seat. There was seating outside as well. Would stay here again. less

After reading other reviews, we selected this hotel as the best option for our stay in the area. It was the right choice! While the hotel is older, the staff, cleanliness and location were great. Other reviews talked about the lack of air conditioning and noise however, we were there in August and never needed air conditioning. The only noise we noticed was a concert at the outdoor amphitheater on the lake and a little from the deliveries to the restaurant behind the building we were in. The sauna/hot-tub area was wonderful after a long busy day. The town is very nice and I would prefer to stay there over the much busier towns much of our event took place in. I am a very selective person when it comes to hotels and am always leery of older hotels but this was the perfect choice and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. less

Not exactly what I would expect for a best western hotel not being your standard best western , more like a quaint motel on the lake. The hotel was clean and we enjoyed our stay. Check prices on other lodging in the area and this is a good place. less

My sister and I stayed one night. It was most difficult for one on a Walker. Many steps, no ramps. Heavy doors. Bathroom unsafe. No grab bar in tub or toilet area. Tiny no-slip pieces in slippery tub. Breakfast room too small. Poor front desk agent Barbara give unclear instructions to room. Cannot recommend this. less

We stayed 2 nights. Summary: decent value option, nothing special. If you want AC or a “pretty” room look elsewhere. The positive: staff was pleasant, room was clean, grounds were clean, relatively quiet resort, close to the water, good price for the being on the lake, good location close to the paved trail around the lake and multiple good restaurants. The negative: the room had some updates but was well used and aged, no air conditioning, relatively narrow entry stairs with close sequential doors making bicycle storage on the second floor somewhat tedious. less
