Place was great and breakfast was probably great during high season. However, as I came at the end of October the resort was getting ready to close down for the winter therefore, breakfast was only coffee/juice toast/cereal

The room is clean and all information is provided. But i jooe next time there should be provided microwave in the room. Its too much hussle going to frontdesk just to heat up food and beverage. But thankful the staff at frontdesk was so helpful and assist us with patience heating our food we were thankfull for that service. Breakfast is good( putting egg in the bf line up will be better. We are happy in our stay good staff/service

We were here toward the end of the season, so many amenities were not available. However, our room looking out to the lake was good with fluffy towels and a comfortable bed. Breakfast was continental, but could have used maybe some yogurt. There were a lot of sweet choices, but not really any savory. I was glad for the cereal. Location was good. Hotel staff was friendly and definitely on the ball. We were called early on that our reserved room type was no longer available at the end of the season and would it be ok to move us to a different room. Then, day of check in, Expedia sent notice that our reservation was cancelled, BUT after calling Silver Dart Lodge to confirm, turned out that was not true at all. I appreciated then staff the most.

Property was in good condition and room was clean. Water pressure was great. Would suggest that Expedia and property post also when amenities and services would be shutting down so travellers can make an informed choice. Was a bit disappointed restaurant was closed. Also wall was too thin . We were able to hear our neighbors having a good time. Front desk was able to accommodate and moved us to another room.

For the price, it was definitely in need of a facelift. Also, right from the get go we were told there would be no maid service. If we wanted clean towels, we got them at the reception desk. No big deal, but again, for what they charge per room…
