The Lodge is conveniently located near the airport with a great shuttle service. My room was clean and well-appointed, and I enjoyed a delicious dinner, even though the menu was somewhat limited. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. On the downside, there was some initial difficulty with Wi-Fi connectivity, and the road conditions to the Lodge could be improved.

This hotel turned out to be a wonderful surprise, even though it's situated in an industrial area. The rooms are spacious, clean, and very comfortable, making for a lovely stay. I was particularly impressed by the attentive and accommodating staff who really make you feel welcome. The dining experience is delightful, especially with the quality of the meals. However, the location may not be ideal for those seeking nightlife or nearby attractions, as there's not much around. Overall, I found great value in my stay here, and I look forward to returning.

My stay at Avant Garde Lodge was truly delightful. The property itself is peaceful and well-maintained, making it a perfect getaway. The staff, especially Armand, was incredibly accommodating and helped us feel safe throughout our stay. While the breakfast was basic, it was enough to fill us up, but the internet connection could use some improvement. All in all, it's a great spot to unwind and relax, especially if you appreciate a tranquil atmosphere.
