Excellent service we got from the host. We arrived late at night which we were advised not to. We unfortunately got 2 flat tires because of the road which was misty. On our way the lady host kept on communicating with us to make sure that we are safe and not getting lost. We were assisted to do the self check in. In the morning we went to pay the balance and a very nice gentleman assisted us with that and also told us that he had noticed that we had flat tires. He was so concern and offered to assist us as we didn't know how are we going to change 2 wheels with only 1 spare wheel. The gentleman made us to feel at home. He made us to enjoy our stay and stop stressing about the wheels that needed to be replaced. He made sure to assist my man to put the spare wheel on and also to put pressure in the other wheel. I am so happy and recommend the lodge and the host. The place by itself is a place to rest. The gold court is clean and the room was spacious. That was a home away from home. I give the 10 out of 5 multiply by 2. Outstanding service. Let me take this time to say thank you for assisting us with all that you did for us.
