Guide Review - The Lodge at Turning Stone Resort
The refined (but not stuffy) Dining Room at The Lodge at Turning Stone Resort opens at 6 am to accommodate golfers who stay here. Uncrowded at lunch but popular at dinner, the Dining Room serves a number of dishes tableside, from Caesar salad to prime rib. The lobster bisque is extraordinary.
Suites provide a welcome respite from the crowds and clamor of the large Turning Stone casino. One casino entrance is approximately a city block away. For those who want to go to the main entrance, The Lodge provides a free shuttle van.
The Lodge at Turning Stone has succeeded in creating suites that are at once soothing and elegant. Done in tasteful shades of beige and gray and accented with cherry wood and frosted glass, rooms are private, quiet, and romantic. Luxury linens sheath an ultra-comfortable mattress. In the living room, a remote controlled gas fireplace can set the mood in seconds. But if you want to toast yourselves or a special occasion, you'll need to supply your own spirits; the entire resort is alcohol-free.
