disappointment-short stay
Rather dingy and seemed like this could easily be improved. Surprised how little effort the hotel has made to upgrade the facility. My family is still questioning my reasons for booking. The decision was based on lower price (140 vs. 209) and belief if would be an average stay. I would pay the higher fee next time.
I knew the hotel about 30 years ago, when it was a well respectable hotel with very popular fine restaurants. I incorrectly assumed they would have maintained the premises or would have shut down.I was not expecting anything great and I am OK with the basics, but definitely would not stay again. Overall disappointed and I would have to agree with most of the negative reviews. 
The location is very good, near restaurants, Ralph's, Freeways.. As noted in other posts the wireless was terrible, i just did not believe it would be so bad. 
Look forward to reading about future improvements and plans that could make the Sportsmen's lodge a reputable location once again.
