"Everything was wonderful!"

Glenstone Lodge

8/10 Good

"Our stay was great. The one thing we noticed walking in was how good it smelled. The pool area was really nice as well. And it was a short walk to the strip. The only issue we had in the room was the sliding door to the balcony was defected which made it extremely difficult to open and close. Not a huge deal because everything else was great. I definitely recommend this lodge."
