Overall a great experience

Stayed 2 nights with my fiancé. When we arrived, we were surprised to see there was no refrigerator or microwave in the room. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house keeping ladies were very nice. Only issue we had was on night two after being out and about all day we came back to the room to find that neither of our cards worked to enter the room. We had to walk all the way back to the front office and the issue was fixed promptly with no hassle. However, we were informed upon arrival that there was an option to use the elevator as there are MANY stairs inside the main building BUT on our way back from the office after getting our room keys replaced we were going to use the elevator because I have severe asthma and couldn’t handle all the steps again, we attempted to go to the elevator just to find there is no buttons and no public access. Yes there is an elevator. But not for the public. It has to be unlocked and turned on by a key. And there is no buttons outside of the doors whatsoever. Maybe they unlock it when a handicap resident checks in, but if that is the case they don’t need to advertise or state that there is an elevator for public use.

Actual room was not as pictured. Room was not recently cleaned. Has to sweep floor and felt dust on floor after. Dead spiders, dirty balcony. Had to ask for additional chair for balcony. Asked for pet friendly unit we were put downstairs not near and grassy areas. The lodge was not ready for spring/holiday guests. Property needs leaves/debris landscape cleanup. Will probably not return.

Lake Getaway

Our experience at Lake Barkley resort State Park was excellent. The food was amazing and the great prices were a nice surprise. The rooms were really nice, the bed was comfortable, The view of the lake was amazing. The only negative was that there was a lot of construction going on and there were not signs telling you where you were and how to get to where you needed to go. When we drove up, it was very difficult to find the door to go in because of all the construction and the lack of instruction with signs. I’m sure that will be better when it’s all finished, however, it could be better now and eliminate a lot of confusion to people who have never been there before. But overall, it was an excellent place to visit and stay and we will definitely come back.

Customer Service Was Great.

The customer service was excellent. The wi fi was slow and I was unable to work. I assumed it was standard. The next morning I overheard that it needed to be rebooted. So it may work better that what I encountered. Food was great. We were there on one of the coldest days of the year, the water in the shower would not get hot. Not even warm. But I believe this would be a wonderful place for a vacation trip, just not great for the type of work that I needed to accomplish.
