Terrible experience even worse customer service, be warned, stay elsewhere, would give 0 stars if I could.
Booked a cabin at Togwotee Mountain Lodge for the weekend for a family wedding at another lodge on the mountain. Upon check-in was informed the rooms were not ready due to low staff. Also informed that the 24-hour cancellation policy quoted when booked would not be honored when I asked to cancel the 3rd night of our stay. We were charged in full for all 3 nights even though we only stayed 2 nights. We were informed that what is quoted over the phone is not the same as what the lodge will honor in person. Others in the lobby overheard this and commented on it to us later. Our room had cobwebs and dust on the lighting fixtures, the pictures, and walls (everywhere). The room was filthy - bathroom was terrible, old dirty toilet and sink, grime in the tub, a dead roach in the bathroom, fuzz on the carpets. The first-floor room had a broken window latch that wouldn't allow the bedroom window to lock. There was no remote to the TV in the bedroom and it would not turn on at all. The phone in the room blinked message but we couldn't connect the phone to retrieve the message. The Wi-Fi in the room did not work - couldn't use the internet, text or Wi-Fi call and there was no cellular service there. Nobody staffing after 10PM so we had to live with the issues. We spoke to a manger in the morning named Bre who was very rude an escalated the conversation and was embarrassingly condescending - making a scene in the lobby in front of others when we politely and quietly listed out our concerns about the room. We asked for a refund for Sunday because we were within the 24-hour cancellation policy quoted by the reservation service Aramark that they use. Bre insisted she would have to pull and listen to the call first. She also said they would not be able to clean the room and that we should not be concerned about the window not locking because they never have issues. I was persistent and even offered to get something in town to secure the window to which she threatened that we would be charged for damage if we touched it ourselves. We asked again on Sunday when we checked out for the refund and Bre said we would not get a refund and that we are paying for all 3 nights even though we only stayed 2. When we called back to speak to Aramark about a refund they said it should be no issue, we should be refunded, but the lodge manager refused again so no refund. In summary, the rooms are dated, they are filthy, the lighting is so dim that my wife had to do her makeup in the car with sunlight. The Wi-Fi did not work, the TV did not work, the manager Bre is confrontational and condescending and will elevate her voice and escalate and argue no matter what your concern is. Bre even hung up on me when I called back later to discuss. The lodge is short staffed, the customer service is horrible, the restaurant was closed, miles to nearest food, there was no air conditioning and another family member had a poor experience in their lodge room as well. You will spend hours on the phone if trying to call customer service. Their roads are not well maintained, would be hard on a car and they are far out of the way if hoping to see national parks or Jackson. I do not recommend and would advise you to seriously consider Hatchett or Turpin Meadow for your stay on the mountain - even the Old Faithfull lodge inside the park is a better (and much more affordable) option with great customer service which is truly what usually matters most of all. The management refuses to credit or refund even when it is justified and warranted by their own policies. Absolutely worst lodging experience ever. read more
