The lodge is a very very nice facility. As with anything new, there are a few kinks to work out but overall it is a great set up (wifi is not the best, some goofy stuff with how they charge meals, no guests, to name a few).
I really like the fact that you just walk 25 steps from the lodge to the OSC so you don't have to mess around with van schedules... that is HUGE for me. The food is fantastic, there's a descent bar, everyone is helpful and friendly, lots of room, very nice gym, etc etc. In my opinion, the pros far outweigh the cons. I'd take the lodge over a Blah-Blah Inns and Suites hotel with coordinating for van rides any day.
This should not be a show stopper for anyone interested in jetBlue - it is in no way a deal breaker, IMO.
