The room was very large and the bed was good and confortable. The bathroom was well organized but the tub/shower need a major upgrade. The tub floor is very slick and a rubber non skid rubber mat should be provided ASAP.

The bathroom in my room was pretty gross, I looked like it had been cursorily cleaned but there was mold around the tub caulking and the toilet was dirty. The room I stayed in had nothing on the walls, except the hardware for hanging "art." Screws there, art no so much. The juice machine in the breakfast room did not work and breakfast was bare bones. In looking at the main profile photo, I realized that it was shot in 1969, from the moon. Wow, does this place need a refresh at a minimum. I asked to cancel my last night and the management flatly refused even a partial refund. No one working there seemed to care about the property or guests.

When we first went to check in we were told that the hotel had been mostly full the night before and cleaning crew needed that time. She told us this without offering any solution, to keep our luggage, even mentioning a lunch spot to wait at. She also did this while sitting and did not rise.

Please accept my apology for the lack of communication on the Hotel part. We do not allow guest to check in until the housekeeping ladies are completely done in the rooms. We do not have any where to store any luggage in our office. This is also standard procedure. We wish we had more room or some where convenient to store guest items. I do apologize for the front desk agent who did not stand up when speaking to you. We do appreciate your business and hope to see you again.

Dated, not kept up.
Kind staff, but the hotel is old, hasn't been updated, has an old smell to it. The elevator floor has a weird tile patch job that catches on luggage when you try to roll it in. My bathroom sink faucet wouldn't stay on. The bedroom door latch kept catching, locking me in (I was able to get it open, but it took a lot of tugging). Business center printer was broken. Gym was old and dirty. Overall an uncomfortable stay!

Being that we are on the lake in Georgia, there are times when extreme humidity can cause some mildew to appear. We are sorry that happened in this case. As always, if there is an issue with your room please contact the front desk immediately to have the situation remedied or be moved to a new room. Our internal logs indicate that you did not contact the front desk.Our breakfast includes Jimmy Dean microwaveable egg products, waffles, and the standard continental breakfast fare. As with most businesses, at times we find ourselves short staffed. When fully staffed we offer more of a full breakfast on weekends. We have since filled that position and will be back to more of a full breakfast on weekends.

The breakfast was advertised as full, it was not, due to covid still in 2023? did not like that wa misinformed. the bathroom had mold around the edge, the sink was very slow when emptying. the AC did not work correctly, the pool and hot tub. were closed. not ready to open. Very disappointed. As it was my 65th birthday, reserved a room with a water view, and was not given one, we were given a room on the first floor facing the parking lot

Thank you for your response. As with most businesses around the country we are having trouble filling positions including the breakfast attendant position. Once staffed, we will have a more complete breakfast on weekends.Our pool is open until October. The hot tub has been permanently shut down due to issues with guests continually using it after hours and disturbing other guests.The reservation you made through Expedia was a standard king bed with a street view, not a lake view. Due to the unbelievable summer heat and humidity we have had some issues with mildew in some bathrooms. I apologize that our team did not see that. Please note that if there is ever a quality issue with one of our guest rooms simply contact the front desk and we will make it right or move your room. If we do not know about it at teh time we cannot address it.

I am so sorry this was your experience at the Lodge. I saw the picture of the bug. Google says is is a Palmetto bug. They are outside dwellers that occasionally sneak in through an open door. The Pest Control Service we use is very aggressive and we have already had the room inspected an serviced. I will issue you a 10% discount for the inconvenience. Please accept my apology on behalf of The Lodge. We hope you choose us again if you are ever back into our small town.

We are so glad to see you enjoyed the kayaks on the lake. The Hotel is actually under renovation as we speak. The next few things in the near future include painting the building and redo the signage in the Hotel. During our off season we do not offer a hot breakfast. We tried, due to the nationwide staffing issues we have had a very hard time finding someone who will meet the standard we uphold at this property. I know we have interviewed and tried to hire several people for the position.

The lodge is obviously old and the rooms need updating, the tub especially needs attention. The caulking around the tub had a substantial amount of mold mildew. The carpets were stained and need replacing. The breakfast was almost nonexsistant.

I share your frustration when it comes to moisture in the bathrooms. As a lakefront property we are constantly battling moisture in the building and as part of our ongoing renovations we are planning on updating the bathrooms . I did see that you stayed in room 302 and my Assistant GM and I personally checked the room and we did not see any stains on the carpet.Carpet was replaced last year as well as much of the furnishings except the case goods. Those are on schedule to be replaced in the future. Upcoming renovations also include painting the building, parking lot resurfacing, new docks, hallway carpet and vinyl, and more.We do hope you come visit again and see the renovations progress.
