Opportunity Lost
Although the rooms remained basically intact (even with vintage furniture) their original pristineness had been much diminished by 2007. The Lodge's non-original owners, now "Patels," understandably felt the need to freshen up the forty-seven year old guest rooms, but the job was botched. Unfortunately the circa 1980s grass cloth wall paper was not removed but just sloppily painted over as was everything else. Moreover, the paint used was an inexpensive variety that filled the poorly ventilated room with noxious eye-watering paint fumes.

It is such a shame that the rooms were so poorly treated, for they easily could have been made pristine and marketed for their excellent design and classic appeal.
