Svendsgaard's Lodge- Americas Best Value Inn & Suites

The room was great. The fireplace was wonderful to wake up to. The two recliners were great to relax in. The building itself had a dated look to it that made it look warm and fuzzy. However, the "breakfast" was something that was left to be desired. I love Danishes. However, I also do not like coming down to the office to see a box holding Danishes that have the "grease" soaked into it. They were hard and were the day old (or older) rejects from a local bakery. They were so hard (how hard were they?) that I took two each day and then painted them black and I am currently using them for Hockey pucks for my team. It may seem like a minor point but a nicer display (put them on a tray) along with a coffee pot and condiments for coffee would have gotten them a much higher rating. Overall, it was worth the money for the room and the staff. I would stay there again if the opportunity presented itself.

Danishes

I love how our room was spacious. The bed is super comfortable. Loved the fireplace. The couch was nice and comfy. We had the perfect location, we would start from our end of the Inn and walk down to the other end so you didn't miss any shops and our windows had the perfect view of the town. Place was very quiet, cozy, cute and enjoyable.

The cleaning solution they used could be tone done a bit. The chemical smell is very over powering. I think the cleaning ladies are over using the product. It smelled very strong and it lingered for days.

I was surprised by the huge size of the room for the cost. It was in walking distance of the town. The room was really quiet, even though it was full, I didn't even hear people in the rooms next to me. I read in the reviews about it being run down and needed updated, I liked the 'folksier" look. Very comfy. Was very hot there, wished I had brought my swimsuit.

When I checked in, the girl gave me a map for my room and directed me to either use the elevator, which would have me walk clear around the upstairs to my room or stairs in the back that had me walk all the way from the back to the front. I don't know why she didn't tell me about the stairs that were just a couple of doors down from my room. The AC unit was on the noisy side. The coffee maker, in the kitchen sat on top of the microwave on a cart that was against the wall. The coffee maker wasn't plugged in, so I had to move the cart to get to the plug. And yes, the carpet needed shampooing, but the room looked clean and was quite comfortable.

A perfect location to visit downtown Slovang with a family. Step away from the festivities.Huge room with two queen bed and a living room with two recliners and huge area for the kids to play. Outside had a balcony overlooking the downtown area. Super clean pool and hot tub

Dated hotel could use some upgrades.Beds a little hard but for my liking. It’s a step up from a value type hotel chains.However, the value for the location was well worth sacrifice of modern convenience. Steps away from food and coffee shops

Conveniently located, the lodge shows a bit of wear but overall was a very nice play to stay. The room was clean and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed, two sinks and a nice shower. The room seemed to have been updated within the past few years and a hard floor kept things a bit cleaner than with carpet. Fresh danish were in the lobby each morning.

Spa was not working. Web site is a bit misleading since there is no breakfast served.

we love the location and this is always a sparkling clean property.

The elevator was broken for the duration of our stay and we were not informed during check-in despite the fact that we had booked an upper level room. we saw no sign of any repair attempts during our three days day. Also, the hotel was not able to accept American Express on check in, and we were informed that other guest American Express cards had been rejected as well. It seemed strange and made us wonder if the hotel as a policy is not accepting American Express anymore, but did not want to tell us.

I liked the large room with fireplace and two sinks.

It rained when we were there and there were lots of leaks in the outdoor halls and worn outdoor carpet. I didn’t like that there wasn’t an elevator to get upstairs. Breakfast was only danish and was offered to everyone. It did not come special with the room. There was a small coffee maker in the room but the creamers were old and expired. It was not a problem since a coffee house was next door with a very long line as like all the restaurants. We were walking distance to restaurants but an hour wait everywhere.

The location is great right down the main strip on the corner and easy walk to shops and restaurants. The room was huge plenty of room, with a separate kitchenette, and a large bathroom with an easy entrance to the pool with sliding doors.

The rooms are a little dated they could use some upgraded decor and carpeting. Overall the room is great and the fireplace is definitely a nice touch. I think with some modern decor and carpeting with fresh paint it would be amazing.

The room was beautiful and very clean. There was a working fireplace in the corner of the room as well. Beautiful furniture. The hotel staff didn't have any toothpaste though and when their vending machine didn't work, they didn't do much about it...but that's a minor complaint. Overall very nice stay.

The vending machines don't work. One of them sucked my dollar. The hotel also doesn't stock toothpaste and toothbrushes or bottled water.

THE LOCATION WAS EXCELLENT! THE EVENING STAFF WAS COURTEOUS BUT NOT TOO FRIENDLY. THE MORNING PERSON WAS MUCH MORE PERSONABLE. THE FACILITIES ARE A LITTLE RUN DOWN. THE HALLWAY CARPET WAS WORN AND TORN. OUR SHOWER DID NOT DRAIN WELL. OTHERWISE, THE ROOM WAS ADEQUATE AND COMFORTABLE.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE FACILITIES NEED A LITTLE "TLC" AND OUR SHOWER DRAIN WAS CLOGGED.
