Lodge At Chalk Hill

Stayed off season in early March 2016 while visiting Falling Water. Great value for the price. each room has a little deck — not private but shaded and adds a pleasant outdoor space to relax in. tv, wifi, fridge worked great. room was clean and the bathroom had updated tile and nice solid surface or granite vanity. perfect for the price! owners/​staff really want to accommodate and are super nice — i was traveling solo and felt safe and comfortable. Hope they stay in business as they have a great location with a bit of atmosphere — lake feature and deck.

A little tired décor wise but well located with balcony overlooking the little lake. Price was reasonable for what you get– basic breakfast, worn linens, clean, no frills. Great Location!

Granted, I am usual a «Hampton Inn» kind of girl, but this was terrible. The sheets are from the dollar store it seems! Old and washed so many times they start bunching. Pillow tops were not white, had some brown tint. Gross. The shower had «Euro Bath» in it that was empty, umm then provide shampoo and conditioner? Just terrible. Don’t do it!!!

Cheap compared to anything else without driving 35 minutes. But you get what you pay for. Rooms are tiny, bugs crawling Everywhere, wifi works only if you’re standing outside, spent the week with outside temps (roughy 50 degrees) because while running the heater ran air that smelled like what I could only compare to a rotting corpse. Comfort inn, in union town will get my money from now on.

This is one of, if not the worst hotels/​motels/​hostels I have EVER stayed at. DO NOT STAY HERE! Very bad service, and rooms infested with Yellow Jacket wasps, and flys!
I arrived in the middle of the night during a snow storm. I had called ahead to make a reservation, but the woman at the front desk told me that there were rooms available tonight and I did not need to make a reservation. We arrived, she gave us a key to the room, and when we went into the room it was freezing. I mean literally. The temperature was around 32 degrees Fahrenheit; the heat was not turned on at all. NOT the worst of our troubles.
After we turned the heat on, and the room started warming up I noticed a yellow jacket on the wall. I killed it, no big deal. Then I found 2 more yellow jackets on the floor. All of a sudden, my dog whimpered in pain, then started acting very scared. Her tail was between her legs, she would not leave my side. I walked over to where she had been laying down and found 2 more yellow jackets. I realized she had been stung. I decided to put on my coat and take her out. As soon as I put my coat on, I was stung repeatedly in the arm by another yellow jacket that had crawled into my sleeve. My boyfriend then jumped out of the bed because there were yellow jackets crawling on his legs under the covers.
He called the front desk and the woman said that she had a can of raid that we could come get from the front desk if we wanted. Since we do not like spraying our room and bed down with toxic chemicals to sleep in, we asked if there was another solution. The woman told us that we could bring the keys up to the front desk, get a partial refund, and we could leave. Since we were basically in the middle of no where, in the middle of the night, during a snowstorm we were unable to leave to go sleep somewhere else. After much arguing, and being uncooperative, the woman finally agreed to give us a new room. My boyfriend went to the office to get a new key, and while he did, I counted 37 yellow jackets in the room that I could find.
The new room was also freezing, and the television did not work. But worst of all, this room was infested with flys. Since we figured that flys were a step up from wasps, we decided to stay in the room and deal with the issues in the morning. Morning came and we were eager to leave. We went to the front office. The man there said his boss was not working so there was nothing he could do. He gave us his boss’s number and told us her schedule.
When I got home the next day, I called the boss, again she was not in the office, but I left a message. She called me back 3 days later and said that she could not give me the refund I thought I deserved because some of the money must go to cleaning costs. I told her that was unacceptable, and she told me she would talk to her manager and get back to me the next day. After calling everyday for over 2 weeks, I have still not heard back from her.
I would highly recommend not staying here. It was so terrible.

Place is a 70’s style décor and kind of shabby. Although there appeared to be newer carpet it still smelled musty and there were water stains on the ceiling. There was a refrigerator, small stove, and microwave. Didn’t try the appliances except for the fridge — which had a cracked inner door and leaked water all over the floor. Don’t get me wrong — it wasn’t terrible — it just wasn’t worth the $ 100 bucks they charged us for the room. This place is more in line with the $ 29.95 rooms you see all along I-​70.
In fact, most of the others staying at this place were construction workers. I have trouble believing they were paying that much.
Although they had a AAA sticker on the door they would not give me a discount.
This place in short charges what they do because they only other places in the area are B&B’s and Nemacolin which is $ 350 and night and up.

After another place failed to hold our reservations, we found ourselves at this place, site unseen. The rate was just under $ 100 — ridiculously high given what follows.
As you drive up to it, it looks charming: enjoined cabins overlooking a lake with people sitting out on individual patios for each room.
As you get closer, you see the peeling paint, the minimal landscaping, and the «charming» feel becomes more of a «cheap» feel, as if the place were built for cub scout encampments.
Our room was scuzzy: one bed had a HUGE stain on the fitted sheet. (Wasn’t housekeeping embarrassed to put the sheet on?) The other bed had dozens of small hairs all over the fitted sheet and even under the pillows. One bed was quite saggy and hurt my back.
There was a cigarette burn clear through one comforter. The television (which got only 7 or 8 channels) had a large burn mark that melted away part of the top.
The back slider’s lock was broken — only a piece of wood stuck in the track prevented it from opening.
When I mentioned the problems to the clerk upon check-​out, he simply said, «OK».
Breakfast was very limited: a couple pitchers of juice, bagels, and cold cereal.

We were headed to Farmington to a celebratory dinner at L’autrec, and as though we were in the mood for a perfect 9 course dinner, we didn’t feel the need to pay $ 400 for a night (on our meal maybe :)). The Lodge at Chalk Hill seemed like a great option ($ 60 or so), just a couple miles down the road.
We visited in the middle of a mini snow-​storm. We were one of the three rooms occupied that night, and for some reason they put us right next to another duo. That wasn’t so great, as we could hear everything through the walls. Fortunately or us, the two were a dad and his son and were in bed pretty early.
The rooms look like they were furnished from a thrift store during the 70s (except for brand new 30ish inch LCD TVs). Everything is fake-​wood, and looks very dated (see the most vintage hair drier ever, in the pictures). That being said, it was perfectly comfortable and we slept well.
We went in the next morning and were offered a pleasant bagel/​bread/​PB breakfast and coffee. We only 6 people in the whole place, we were surprised at the effort they put.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay. It was great for what we wanted, but if I were in the busy season I’d be a little worried about the noise and wouldn’t feel super comfortable staying for an extended period.
