Homestead Resort — Hotel in Lynden

Husband and I stayed for four days for a quick get away. We had a room on the ground floor in a building adjacent to the check in facility. When we first walked into our building the smell was awful. Fortunately the room was did not smell or we would have immediately left. We figured our after holding our noses each time we went into the common area of this building was that it was cooking smells that obviously were not vented correctly. ||Our room was very clean and all appliances worked correctly. Fortunately we noticed prior to getting into the shower that this facility does not provide shampoo, conditioner or lotion like the rest of the RCI facilities we have stayed in. As it was late we had to buy shampoo from the receptionist. We bought our own lotion and conditioner the next day. Also if you want fresh towels you will need to pay for them. Never had that happen before. Laundry facilities are in the building but not in the unit and you have to buy your detergent. ||It was too rainy for any golfing, but that was expected. The town of Lynden itself is charming and we certainly enjoyed the Dutch Bakery, which had Gluten Free choices for my husband. Great coffee shops, too. ||Overall we did appreciate the cleanliness and had comfortable nights"s sleeps, but would probably not stay...

My husband and I made this reservation from Travelocity, we searched for a nice place to stay while coming from Nashville to see our grandchildren that we had not seen in 4 years. We paid a good amount for a week to stay here but when we got to the lodge our 7 year old granddaughter wanted to stay a few nights with us of course we could not tell her no as we had not seen her in 4 years. This place told us she could not stay with us unless we paid them $50 more a each night she wanted to stay. I was shocked! We had flown all the way from Nashville to be told in order for our granddaughter we had not seen in 4 year to stay a couple nights with us we’d have to pay this much more each night or she could not stay. Did I mention our 7 year old granddaughter was standing right next to us when they told us this and she was upset and said does this mean I can’t stay with you guys? I was appalled! I can understand maybe charging us an extra $10 but an extra $50 a night for each night (5) that she wants to stay with us! I will never stay here again nor will I recommend this place to other travelers. I have never had a place charge like this before whenever we have visited any of our grandchildren in any state. But here I was told This is Lynden! To me this was not very hospitable, friendly...
