Part of Jacobstown
The lodge is the largest building in Jacobstown, a pre-War resort hotel where Marcus's super mutants and nightkin now live. Super mutants relax on the patio out front, and the nightkin Keene stands just inside the door. The check-in desk holds a terminal and the Mt. Charleston snow globe, and a pool hall sits behind it.
Doctor Henry's laboratory takes up one side of the ground floor, where he and Calamity work on a cure for the nightkin's schizophrenia beside a dead night stalker on a gurney. Talking to him starts Guess Who I Saw Today, and he can also help Rex in Nothin' But a Hound Dog. The first time you leave the lodge, Marcus meets you near the gate and starts Unfriendly Persuasion.
Upstairs are fourteen rooms around a U-shaped hall, including Marcus's Average-locked room and a room with the only pinball machine in the game. Loot includes recon armor in an owned footlocker downstairs, Boxing Times, Programmer's Digest, Fixin' Things and Lad's Life, Hydra and a footlocker of energy ammunition.
How to get there
Follow Nevada State Route 157 up to the Jacobstown gate, then cross the dry lakebed west to the lodge.

Tips

- The upstairs urinals are set at super mutant height, a nice touch if you are exploring.
- The lodge uses the same floor plan as the House Resort at Camp Golf, so the layout will feel familiar.
