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.

Although the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel was quiet during the night, the hallways were rather noisy in the morning. This was not due to unruly guests, but due to the hotel’s design. The hallways are long and solidly built, but with high ceilings and widely spaced walls. The tunnel effect seemed to amplify sounds, making […]

Writing a script for a movie, play, or television show is very different than writing a novel, especially when it comes to the formatting of the pages.

Why your lawyer won’t take or return your phone calls – top 10 reasons

The most frequent complaint about lawyers is they won’t take or return phone calls. Articles on this subject usually sugarcoat the issue, give some blah blah blah about professional responsibility, or try to it wrap up in a touchy-feely feel-good win-win conclusion. No one really wants to tell you what is going on. You want the truth about why your lawyer doesn’t want to talk to you? Here are the top ten reasons your attorney won’t return your calls.

Harry Potter vs Jedi Knight

I don’t know who RackaRacks is on YouTube, but he made (or at least shared) a really well done video called Harry Potter vs Star Wars. There isn’t much setup or plot. The video contains an opening segment that lasts only a few seconds before a battle breaks out between two video game players who […]
