8/10 Good
"I read a lot of reviews prior to booking ! I’ve visited the Stanley 10 years ago and then again this week. So here are my thoughts. We enjoyed it , the staff was excellent.. Stayed at the Lodge , small no frills room. But , so what .. It’s a historic hotel ,.. It’s charming.. Door stays unlocked , no security , people are free to come in and out .. It’s located next to the Main Hotel .. With that being said , Yes.. there’s a lot construction but it didn’t bother us .. The main hotel is different ( to me ) it’s kinda dirty .. stains on carpet etc the front of the hotel used to be all open .. Now , half of it is blocked with tables spilling over from the “ Wine Room “. The other side has futons. Most have stains etc .. The back of the Cascades use to have an open fire pit & a lot of area to walk around , plus a lot more buildings. This area is no longer .. it’s all closed .. There is limited space to sit or walk around There is a maze and a little patio area but no seats If you are going for the Vibe , Spooky Season etc you will enjoy. If your spending more time in your room then this may not be the place for you ."

"Our favorite place we stayed hotel wise in a two week trip. The staff were all great. The water feature next to the coffee maker was such a handy thing to have. The location was beautiful. Our first morning I was woke from a bull elk right outside our room. The lake sparkled and was a gorgeous thing to listen to the elk as we looked across the water. Location was great. Would definitely stay here again. Coffee pods were even decent and the lotion provided was great."
