"We stayed here one night because my wife is a big fan of the movie “the shining”. When we checked in they wanted to put us in the lodge. Which defeated the whole purpose of staying. Finally they were able to get us a room in the main building for an additional $65. We paid it because it was important to my wife. The hotel was OK. Nothing special. But it was OK. It was clean. Unless you are a fan of Stephen King and just have to stay here, there are cheaper options."
