    Nothing, it was great!

    They had free kayaks and bikes for the guests to use. They offered free laundry services, wonderful continental breakfast and free airport shuttle. They also had fire pits and smore kits.

    The location was perfect! It was next to the river and the river path that connects you to the rest of the town. We were able to walk to nearby places, and we also used the complimentary bikes to ride to the lake and downtown on the river path. We really enjoyed the location. The staff was really nice, welcoming, and helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious. We even sat on the pool patio and enjoyed the sunset. In the lobby, there was always tea, coffee, and hot chocolate available, as well as popcorn. We could refill our bottles at the bottle refill station, and there was a little food store in the lobby. We took the complementary shuttle to the airport.

    I found the pillows to be pretty hard. However, I never did remember to ask the front desk if they had any softer pillows. We hiked too much and did not get to enjoy the sweet kayaks and bicycles. They even had electric bikes to rent.

    Our room was spacious and comfortable! Loved the balcony! The pool was beautiful, well kept and fun. The beds were very comfortable. TV was really nice. Appreciated the HBO channels and got to enjoy a movie we never saw. Best of all, it was QUIET! Despite being on the lower floor, it was really quiet and the hotel was booked solid. The game room was nice too-but we were too tired after all the wonderful hikes to use it. Breakfast was very good. You can count on it to be the same, every day. We went to Lula's for breakfast one day-in town and it was spectacular!

    They have HIDDEN FEES. There is a "RESORT" fee not outlined on Booking. When I checked in I asked what it was for - they said use of kayaks (water sports stuff) - which I had zero intention (or need) to use. It was $15 per day. I showed my Booking.com paperwork showing my total cost (NO RESORT FEE). I asked to speak to the manager (it was a weekend, said they would be in on Monday), then went on to say it was waved. Got my bill, the RESORT FEEs were on there - not waved. AWFUL. Don't recommend this place for deceptive pricing.

    Room was fine, comfortable

    Have to say this hotel was not a good value, particularly the first night of our 3-night stay (Sunday evening through Wednesday AM), which the price was nearly double the rate of the other nights (made more painful that we didnt arrive at hotel until 2AM Monday morning due to our late train - and they didnt have pickup shuttle at that late hour). Apparently, there was a music festival that weekend that ended preceding our arrival for which they were still upcharging (gouging in my opinion). I knew of the total 3-day price as booked, so assumed it was just the normal rate one would pay for a Lodge-styled hotel (not really built like a lodge). I plan to call the hotel chain about this. Complimentary breakfast was typical of other mass-market hotel chains - nothing to write home about.

    We chose this hotel for its proximity to the train station and downtown Whitefish. Located along a small river with a walking path. Hotel staff were personable and helpful - 'rescued' some items we left behind in room upon checkout; fortunately we were able to retrieve them the same afternoon.
