The website said "no pets allowed". We left our little puppy in the truck overnight. Then found a message saying you were a "pet friendly" lodge and pets were $15 each per night. Found it too late. Everything else was perfect.

Cozy, quiet out of the way place to stay with plenty of parking. Very roomy, comfortable bed and furniture, has small refrigerator/freezer and microwave. The only drawback for me was there was no blowdryer, so bring your own if you need one. Has a great restaurant across the street called Big Red Restaurant. It's only a short walk to get there. Great food, great service, and affordable.

The beds were uncomfortable. The head part was lower than the feet part ...talk about having your feet above your heart . If you want athletes feet use the shower mat. Called before arriving and the woman told me the rooms were redone and I told her that there was a hole in the door and she said they new about it and told her that the rooms weren't redone and she said the mattresses were which when we got the there they weren't and she said they just done the floors ...also said there weren't any pest in rooms but I killed a small spider and only 8 channels on small tv and if you like old movies then you would like a few channels ..at least we were able to watch the news . Won't come back and we stayed 3days 2 nights which I would of left if I could of got my money back . The swimming pool had leaves and bugs in it but could swim if you really want to swim . Grass needed to be mowed . Thanks but no thanks .

Great budget-friendly stay near Tahlequah and Lake Tenkiller. Easy room access and no stairs. Clerk was kind and checked us in quickly. Room was spacious and very clean. Had to keep turning the temp up in our room because the AC was so cold which is great for summer temps. Nice pool. Would stay again. Thanks!

Pellas were like sleeping on a rock. Roaches, even when the lights were on towels that were designated for boat use, but the same towels were in the bathroom dog barking all night long. Don’t recommend this place. If you really need to rest when you enter the driveway, it looks like you are in low income housing as the porches of the apartments upfront are cluttered With old furniture. Chickens and animals running loose. Not as advertised at all don’t know who rated this an 8.4 but they haven’t stayed at some nice hotels before I won’t be back.

We did not sleep well because of the people partying too late. They we so loud talking and laughing till 1 am and we had to wake up at 5 am for an event. The owner is nice but the room we stayed in smells like smoke and dogs. We will stay there again because it is affordable the other room we stayed at before was nice except for the last night.

This is an older property but clean and didn't smell musty. The microwave was dirty and you had to walk around to the back of the property for ice. No one was on duty to check us in, so we had to wait until they finished up elsewhere. The beds were sagging and one actually swayed when you sat on it but we slept comfortably. The staff were nice but due to circumstances beyond their control unavailable for the most part of our stay.

The room was very clean, and plenty of towels and washcloths were provided. It had a real key instead of a key card, and it took me a little bit to figure out how to open the door because it had a locking doorknob and a dead-bolt using the same key. I kept locking one while unlocking the other, and I couldn't tell which one I was locking. Make sure to go to Nancy's for some pie to stuff in your pie-hole. LOL I didn't have pie. I had strawberry sheet cake with ice cream on the side. The only thing I found a bit frustrating is the mattress kept shifting several inches off the box spring. It really needed something to hold it in place. Oh, and the TV wouldn't work right, kept saying "no signal" but it really wasn't an issue for me because I had my laptop with me and the wifi had a strong signal with plenty of speed. So I just watched movies on my laptap. The clerk said she'd come down and re-program the TV, but I told her no need, I was fine with my laptop. I stayed four nights while I was in Tahlequah for a conference. It was quiet for the most part, except plenty of police sirens at all hours. Which I thought was a lot for a small town, but I live in a town with a population of 500, so I don't get out much.

When I was checking in, I got to my room and there was at least one family, screaming/arguing, kids inside and outside screaming/yelling... I was on a business trip and needed rest which is why I chose this area/hotel because it was out of the way in a small community and I thought it would be quiet and I could rest. I advised the person at the desk of this and all they offered was to move me to a different room. I told them the reason I was there and asked for a refund. I was told that I would have had to cancel 2 days prior in order to get a refund. I have worked at hotels, and in this situation I would have refunded the person's money. Poor customer service.

Will stay again when visiting family. Convient and ground level, which is important to us. VERY clean and AC worked like an igloo, which we like. Staff super friendly and professional. Resturant on site closed for Mother's Day but Big Red's across street was good food and good service. Thank you Tenkiller Lodge for a great graduation weekend, Karen and Bruce

The room was very clean, and plenty of towels and washcloths were provided. It had a real key instead of a key card, and it took me a little bit to figure out how to open the door because it had a locking doorknob and a dead-bolt using the same key. I kept locking one while unlocking the other, and I couldn't tell which one I was locking. Make sure to go to Nancy's for some pie to stuff in your pie-hole. LOL I didn't have pie. I had strawberry sheet cake with ice cream on the side. The only thing I found a bit frustrating is the mattress kept shifting several inches off the box spring. It really needed something to hold it in place. Oh, and the TV wouldn't work right, kept saying "no signal" but it really wasn't an issue for me because I had my laptop with me and the wifi had a strong signal with plenty of speed. So I just watched movies on my laptap. The clerk said she'd come down and re-program the TV, but I told her no need, I was fine with my laptop. I stayed four nights while I was in Tahlequah for a conference. It was quiet for the most part, except plenty of police sirens at all hours. Which I thought was a lot for a small town, but I live in a town with a population of 500, so I don't get out much.

Always love this place! Clean, comfortable, quiet. Miss the continental breakfast though. But Big Red across the street has the best food!

Beds are horrible. Old, very used, soft, hurt my back. Even my 11 year old granddaughter didn't like them. My dad is 82 in another room. bed bad he could hardly get out of the bed. TV was disgusting, liquid dried all over it. No extra tp, half a roll. Went to office to get another roll and a light bulb for the lamp. No pool towels. Pool was clean. Room decor was nice. No breakfast , cafe nextdoor.

Great little lounge was worried at first when I got there because the mini blinds were broke and feared they would try to blame me and my kids however, not a word was said and parking stayed excellent for our boat to be charged every night and House Keeping was also super nice and helpful
