Breakfast was basic but good. The service was extremely friendly and helpful. It was great having the pool table.
The public areas were great but nobody was about - the place was dead.a

PrashantUnited KingdomBroadly great but...
The wooden lodge is lovely with great views of the snow peaks, even in December. Room size quite good, we stayed in Coach house. Location slightly away from the town bit we had a car so was not a big issue.

MichaelUnited KingdomVery good
Actually better than expected - warm welcome and very convenient as a short stay.
It has a lovely lounge area but no bar or restaurant so its an empty space with no atmosphere. They could do so much more with this place.

Questions about Westwood Lodge
What time is check-in and check-out at Westwood Lodge?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Westwood Lodge allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Westwood Lodge?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Westwood Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Westwood Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Westwood Lodge?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
