Jackson Lake Lodge Review – Pros and Cons

September 14, 2017 by pfeifer

 

We stayed at the Jackson Lake Lodge during the second and third nights of our Wyoming vacation. While there, I made a short list of the pros and cons of staying at their facility.

Jackson Lake Lodge – interior view

Pros:

  • Several dining choices in different price ranges
  • Availability of huckleberry milkshakes
  • A beautiful common area, both inside and outside, with lots of places for groups to talk, play games, enjoy snacks, and take in the great view.
  • Fans of the movie Shane may recognize the view from a particular area.
  • Conveniently located near lakes, hiking trails, horseback riding tours, etc.
  • You may see wild animals.
  • Nice older furnishings.
  • Keurig coffee maker in the room with two pods of caffeinated coffee, two pods of decaffeinated coffee, four liquid creamers, and four bags of standard coffee condiments (but see below)
  • The cleaning service did not make us feel rushed to get out the door


Cons:

  • No television.
  • No refrigerator.
  • No microwave.
  • The room safe did not work.
  • Cheap generic toilet paper.
  • The coffee supplies provided to us were apparently meant to last two days, as housekeeping did not restock our room after the first day. Potential problems like that are why I always bring coffee with me on vacation.
  • Housekeeping did not provide new ice bags for the ice container.
  • Housekeeping did not attend the room until late in the day, despite us having posted the sign requesting immediate service.
  • The internet signal kept dropping.
  • The shampoo dispenser built into the shower was a neat idea, except for the part where it fell off the wall.
  • Only one chair in a room with two adults and two children.
  • The tiny trash can was split down the middle into a recyclables side and a trash side. Separate cans would have worked much better.

While these issues would be more understandable at a cheap hotel, I kind of expected better for $300 a night. Especially at a place as beautiful as Jackson Lake Lodge.
