NCTC Lounge

This is the National Conservation Training Center. It is part of the Fish and Wildlife Service. This is the best government training center I've been to. Great location, grounds, food, service, everything. The hiking trails could be better blazed, but that is about it.

Really great place in the middle of nowhere. Good beer (solid selection of 5 local taps and 3 cans) for absolutely ridiculous price of $3.50. Free popcorn. Beautiful huge outdoor terrace. Free wifi.

Visited NCTC for a national meeting. The rooms are clean, the emphasis on conservation is wonderful and the food is amazing. If you get the opportunity...go.

A beautiful place to hang out at the end of the day to network with with friends & co-workers. Still enjoying this place on visit 3.

Great staff, location, and accommodations. The food is very good and there are lots of places to walk and hike. They even have laundry facilities!!

I'm not sure which is better... The beer or the company. It's not like you have many bar options when you're at NCTC, but this one is certainly pretty awesome. The beer list is short but spectacular. I've found the wines to be mediocre, but the free popcorn and other snacks more than make up for any shortcomings. And you couldn't ask for a better group of people to hang out with after a long day of training.

This is perhaps as good as you can do for a hotel bar for work based travel. It reminds one of hanging out in your outdoorsy brother in law's garage. Duck hunting signs, a moose head and a rowboat are the features of the decor. The draft beers top out at $6 for a liter and pretty much the whole selection is from local breweries. Food wise, either carry it in from the cafeteria on the other side of the building or get some popcorn from the self serve machine.

Amazing prices on beer!

This facility is absolutely incredible. It's like a medieval hunting lodge. The food and beverage selection was adequate at night.

NCTC is an amazing and gorgeous institution and their lounge for their guests is so cool.

Food was really good and all the employees are terrific
