The lodge was clean and the staff was very accommodating. We were put in a room that the air conditioner was loud and they switch our room with no hesitation. The water was was very muddy so you couldn’t drink it and I didn’t feel very clean after showering.

However, we're concerned about your experience with the water quality. Rest assured that the well-being of our guests is of the utmost importance. We have immediately alerted our maintenance team to investigate and resolve this matter to ensure that it’s an isolated issue and to prevent any similar experiences for our guests in the future. If there's anything more we can do to assist you or improve your stay, please don't hesitate to let us know. We are committed to making sure that each of our guests leaves feeling refreshed and satisfied with their stay. Regards, Sonny Taylor

Outstanding! We definitely recommend The Lodge to any travelers in the Southeast Georgia Area. My only recommendation (not a complaint) is to add a Dog Park, there are plenty of area and trails to walk your dog, but it would really be nice to have an area to allow your dog to be unleashed.

Not great. No restaurant service at all. Have to go into town on sat roads to find dinner. No breakfast. Walls so thin you can hear every word in neighboring rooms… and their 4 am alarm clocks! But worst of all… bedspreads were dirty and smelled like Body odor.. must be changing sheets but not comforters. So gross. Location was okay but should have just stayed 20 miles away in a nicer hotel.

Compared to the rest of the motels in this area, yes, this was a motel, it was better. Simply because it priced out of range of the drug addicts that occupied the other motels. I wish they were honest on the website about what we were getting. The floors were dirty, the room was full of flies and the shower had the weakest water flow ever. We had to use the ice bucket to wet our hair properly. The place didn't even have a bath tub. I wish i stayed at the cottages on the golf course or slept in the car. The receptionist was polite though and the check in area did look like a lodge though.

Thank you for visiting our park and lodge. We value your feedback, and we are very sorry you did not have a good experience. Our lodge rooms were 100% renovated within the last year. They are brand new rooms. We will look into the water pressure feedback, but we have never heard this from any other guest before. Thank you for letting us know about it. We will definitely look into this.

Nice little state park. Staff was all very friendly and helpful. We stayed here so we could play the golf course the next day. Course was great.

At check in they had the amount I owed wrong and still charged me more than what I was supposed to be charged even after I showed them a receipt of paying half already online..their response was well this is our rates now..I had went through hotel.com and was charged half up front and was suppose to pay the other half at check in. I was hasseled about the receipt as well. They tried to collect the entire payment from me and then again at check out as well. Not to mention I had to come back after recovering my keys just to find out they didnt work and had to go back and get another set from them. Customer service and checkin check out was terrible but the room was nice, AC was real noisy but other than that it was nice. Not sure why I had to pay a parking fee onsite since I parked right in front of my room. They have a parking fee and a resort fee. I wont stay here again. The outdoors were the nicest thing about the stay.

Thank you for visiting our park and lodge. I want to apologize for the issues that you experienced during your stay. I hope that we have resolved the payment issues. If not, please reach out to me for assistance. Just to clarify, we do not charge for parking. We charge a lodge fee that includes admission into the park. I will follow up with our management team on all of the other items that you mentioned in your review. Thank you for letting us know about these items.

I chose this motel as a halfway point between my home in SC and my family in FL. As a young, solo female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable staying at Little Ocmulgee. The inside of the room was standard - clean and comfortable. I didn’t get to explore the state park but the area was beautiful and people around were very nice. Will stay again in the future.

The checkin did not go well because their computer system had been down since the day before. I was told to handle the issue thru Hotels.com rather than the lodging staff handling it. The clerk on premise was very polite but I shouldn’t have been the one to clear up the matter. Although I had prepaid the lidge insisted I pay again because they had no records to go by.

Middle of nowhere.
Who ever classified this as a "Resort" evidently has never been to a resort. It's a Motel 6 type facility in middle of nowhere, with poor phone signal and with a host of mosquitos and nats. 95 degrees and pool was closed. Employees were nice and friendly and the room was clean and reasonably comfortable. AC couldn't be regulated very well and you either roasted or froze. Never again. Appropriate restaurants were 30 miles away. Booked 2 nights but stayed only one.

Thank you for visiting our park and lodge. I'm not sure where you noticed the term "resort". Please let us know, and we will have the website change this for us. We don't refer to this property as a resort on our website or anywhere else that we control. We are a quiet and comfortable park and lodge in the beautiful South Georgia plains. I apologize if we did not deliver a great experience for you. While our lodge does have exterior corridors, all rooms were completely renovated within the last 2 years.
