I think one of the last words in the world I'd use to describe the Wilderness Lodge is "crazy"!

You're right, Samantha Brown does get a bit enthusiastic, wherever she is staying, but I happen to enjoy that aspect of her hotel reviews
I don't think you have anything to worry about. Like others have already said, only Whispering Canyon Cafe can get loud, and not even all the time. I can honestly say that I've never been more relaxed at a hotel/resort than when we were sitting in the lobby of the Wilderness Lodge
