Chief Logan Lodge

this place is very dirty. i ate at the buffet and we saw our waitress once. food was dry and literally couldn’t eat our country fried steak. when we first walked in the whole staff crowded around us. they were very welcoming our waitress did seem to not want to be there. we are not eating here again it is not worth the money. the salad bar was the only edible thing. dessert was very dry and seemed like it was old. would not recommend to anyone.

Basic lodging. Excellent location. Wonderful pool. Super sweet and wonderful people. Best hamburger in the state. Huge park. Animal sanctuary. Isiah the naturalist State Park Ranger rocks!!!

Here is what I know from a 1 night stay:
For $103 per night, for 1 person (plus tax).

Room: The room is clean and all, bathroom is clean. No views for the location, but as I am on the first floor I expected that. Pillows are not standard size, they are like kid sized pillows. Beds could be upgraded, it's like a cot on a frame basically. TV is okay, no TV guide and half the remote doesn't work. A/C works well though. Has a mini fridge and microwave, and coffee maker. (The basics)
After the night: my back would feel better from sleeping on the floor. I've never felt worse after an 8 hour sleep.

Pool/hot tub: Hot tub is not hot in the slightest, it was lukewarm at best. Pool was warmer than the hot tub.

Food: I have to say the food I tried was almost inedible, basically McDonald's level. Almost everything was pre-bought still in packaging or was from the freezer. I had to get a guest to give me directions on where the food was. Had to go elsewhere.

Location: very nice and scenic overall, has various trails around as well as a rec center nearby. Has a small gift shop with some okay items, too pricey for what you get.

Great stay at a great price and I'm very picky. I almost didn't stay here because of the bad reviews!! They're false!! I was exhausted, everything else was way too expensive, so when I saw the exit for Chief Logan Lodge off 119 I drove right by even though the view was so gorgeous with the fall colors because of the reviews. I only reconsidered because there's a Mexican restaurant in the next town and I must have Mexican food. My bed is enormous and comfortable. The climate system works well with constant fan (for others like me who need white noise). I have a gas fireplace in my king suite!! So delightful on a fall day. I can't speak about breakfast because I haven't had it yet but I don't understand people who rate a hotel based on breakfast or a hot tub. Why would you want to sit in a tub with strangers anyway?? And while we're on the subject the hot tub is out of order. I'm not sure if the restaurant is operating. I suggest you call and find out. But if you want to sleep this is a great choice and again, the setting is stunning. One small criticism: poor sound insulation. You hear hallway noise way too clearly. I think that hotels in general need to start taking sound insulation more seriously. But the decor in my room is very nice and seems recently updated. I'm actually going to add pix which I'm usually too lazy to do. If you're a normal person, stay here. If you want to reenact Hot Tub Time Machine, go elsewhere.

Loved my stay at Chief Logan Lodge. It was surprisingly quiet at night even though the Lodge had a lot of guests. Carla, the sweet lady who made my reservation, was just so nice and so helpful. She allowed me to make a change to the room I booked after I realized that it was equipped for those guests needing handicap related facilities. She assisted me in every way possible and her patience and kindness was much appreciated. I would definitely stay there again based on my experience. 😊

The Lodge came highly recommended. We were excited to be able to get reservations there. I'm from Ligan but live in Ohio.
We were in town for the funeral of my cousin. He always spoke highly of the lodge and all the amenities. We had toured the cabins a couple of years back and were highly impressed.
The Lodge is beautiful sitting on top of a mountain.The rooms were your average hotel rooms.
The pool area was the norm.
The one wing was decorated for photo opts, but it was very cold. The venue had no heat in most of the areas.Heat in the rooms, pool area, and two upstairs private rooms, which we used for a family to get together after the funeral.
The dining room could not be used to sit and eat, so back to your rooms, you took your food, or you sat in a lobby down the hall.
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE LODGE STAFF!!!
THEY WERE GREAT. THEY ALL PRETTY MUCH HAD HEAVY WINTER APPAREL ON BECAUSE THE HEAT WAS NOT WORKING.
NO EMPLOYEE SHOULD HAVE TO WORK IN CONDITIONS LIKE THAT.
Being on top of a mountain was bitterly cold along with the weather being - degrees for days along with the windchill factor.
The state should have stepped up and sent in some heat torpedoes or something like that for the staff and guests.

The service and location is amazing! The beds are a little hard and pillow aren't that good. Nice dinning room area and good food. We came on new years weekend and unfortunately the pool was down due to pipes breaking so that was a bummer. We was going to take the kids to the recreation center but it was closed due to New Years, but other than that it was a good stay. I would definitely recommend staying here for a get away.

Good hotel to stay, rooms ok, Best part is the breakfast bar!!!! Needs a little bit of room upgrades, but convenient and great location.
