I went March 15th for a long weekend, drove from Orlando Fl, a six hour drive that was not too bad…read moreas mostly highway or minimal traffic once out of Florida. Being from Orlando, the tourist capital of the USA, I am used to very nice hotels and service ( at a high cost), on the same hand while I can afford luxury I am ok with good:
Price: You can't beat the price of the room - very fair for what you get,
in Florida standards cheap.
Location: It is somewhat off the beaten path and in an industrial area, and nearest expressway is about an hour away, but the traffic in Augusta is not bad, so easy to get around and many restaurants not to
far from the hotel.
Ammenities: I stayed on the Parliament side in a newly remodeled room ( highly suggest staying on that side as more to do and nicer
rooms with a gated resort which felt safer. They have a small Cafe, 2 bars, a pool ( which was being painted on a weekend ?????) , a bathhouse ( need to clean the steam room), yet unlike Florida everyone walked around dressed, and another thing they called the pig pen, which was nice. Besides the Capri lounge my favorite part of the weekend was the fire pit on Friday and Saturday night, just a bunch of nice people having a great time and some free snacks and drinks.
People: When I went it was a slow weekend, so mostly locals that lived in the trailer park next door. The crowd was older, some hot younger guys, but everyone was so nice. If you are going for *** it is readily available, however have an open mind as not everyone looks like a model from Miami Beach, but they are super friendly.
Rooms : I stayed in room 1 on the parliament side, great room, lots of windows and remodeled, Small Fridge and Microwave ( no coffee pot , so bring one ) and the shower had water pressure that would blow the paint off of your car ( I loved it ) - The other hotel is just being remodelded. I would give the rooms a 10 ( just add one more chair in the front for the guest in the room ).
Staff: I did not run into anyone that I can complain about, everyone was super friendly.
Bars: I only made it to the Capri and looked in the other bar, both very nice and fair drink prices ( 4 dollars during happy hour and 6 after for White claws), the bartenders were very friendly, esspecially Cody and the female ( brain fart ) were exceptional.
Overall I had a great time, but then again I can fit in with the richest or poorest of people, so I will come back in the future. I hear the events are packed there.
Thank you for a good time.
