    View from the top down the side of the pyramid
    Tammi W.

    I'm just going to start by saying this place is quite overwhelming. The rooms are amazing, each room has a big jetted tub which unfortunately I was unable to use because the whole place had no hot water. View to the top was amazing, elevator was a little scary. Update; emailed as asked. No response.

    This is the exterior patio. For a hotel this expensive, everything should be super clean.

    Outside patio not clean. 2 star amenities. It is a very long walk from the entrance to most rooms. That said, the staff is super nice.

    We were disappointed with our stay at Bass Pro Shops Big Cypress Lodge, which failed to meet our expectations despite careful planning and significant savings. The trip was intended to reward Easton's academic achievements and celebrate his birthday during spring break. However, several key amenities, including The Lookout and the glass elevator, were unexpectedly closed without prior notice, making it impossible to adjust our plans. The front desk service provided by Shelly was subpar in terms of helpfulness and courtesy. Although issues with the resort fee refund and Wahlburgers Wild bracelets were eventually resolved, they contributed to our overall dissatisfaction. While the lodge is beautiful and some aspects were enjoyable, potential guests should consider the high cost and potential issues. The General Manager of Wahlburgers Wild was helpful and attempted to mitigate the issues, even paying for part of our room and providing breakfast, but it appears that Big Cypress Lodge retained funds paid by Wahlburgers for our room and blamed it on our booking through Expedia. Wahlburgers Wild Big Cypress Lodge Wahlburgers if negative starts were a thing this would earn them.

    Bass Pro Shop, yes. Big Cypress Lodge, emphatically no! I love coming to the pyramid and Bass Pro. My husband thought it would be a nice birthday present to spend the night in the lodge. He paid $450 for a one-night stay in the duck cabin. At check-in, we were warned about loud music and "no shenanigans," which felt ironic given what followed. On the way to our room, we passed what appeared to be a rental party space with loud music playing. That same music was clearly audible in our room and continued throughout the evening. Our room was located next to what seemed to be an employee storage or work area, and we could hear staff talking at various times during the night. The room itself was stuffy, and when we tried to adjust the thermostat, we discovered it was locked and controlled by the lodge. When my husband asked about this, we were simply told, "That's just the way it is." I wondered what they would do if someone had a medical condition and needed some airflow. Send them off to the Peabody? While the room was cute and rustic in concept, it felt worn in a negative way. Cleanliness was also an issue--the bathroom was not properly cleaned, and there was a used bandage stuck to the bathroom floor. I do want to point out that I enjoyed the trip to the top of the pyramid. We also enjoyed sitting outside our room looking over Bass Pro with our takeout from Wahlburgers. Those don't add up to $450.00 though. We were so uncomfortable that we woke up at 4:00 a.m. and decided to check out early just to end the experience. At checkout, the front desk agent only asked, "Checking out?" and never once asked how our stay was or if there were any issues. For the price, we expected far better soundproofing, cleanliness, comfort, and basic customer service. You are also charged a valet fee in advance whether you use it or not. We did not. The premium price did not meet the experience. We did complete the survey sent to us after our stay. Honestly, I thought we deserved a refund, or at least a partial refund. A staff member called and left voicemail at 9:45 PM Saturday night. We've called back several times with no further response. Update: Removed one star after receiving an automated response. Read the room (pun intended) management staff.

    We have just returned from our stay. We arrived at 3:15 pm the day of check in. Check in was not till 4:00 pm. We were given our plastic bracelets that we put on our wrist & would allow us to ride on the elevator unlimited times to the Lookout . We were told we could return at 4:00 pm to check into our room. We stood in line to ride the elevator to the lookout for approx. 30 minutes. Once at the lookout (since it was almost time to check in our room) we got back in the line to ride back down. It was another 30 minutes to load into the elevator to go back down. Once we arrived to check in (it was approx. 4:30 pm) we stood in line for over 40 minutes to check in. The check in process needs work. This is the longest time we have ever waited to check into a lodge/hotel/motel. We would have loved to ride to the lookout again but were unable to since the lines were so long. The rooms are pricy so it would have been nice to have access to the lookout (as a guest at the lodge) a few minutes earlier. We purchased breakfast . Breakfast was expensive but gave you a great selection. We did not like the valet parking. Valet parking limits you to the access of your vehicle. You are totally dependent on the valet staff to walk you out to your vehicle or to bring your car to you. **Just my opinion** Our room and facilities were very nice. Everyone who worked there was wonderful! It was a unique experience. Thank you.

    Blood on tile

    Disgusting!! Our first room had toe nails everywhere they did not vacuum. We asked if they could clean it, waited two hours and still had them everywhere. We got a new room around 8 pm. You need a FLASHLIGHT to use the toilet because the lights simply are not enough. Woke up in the morning and the bathroom was disgusting! There is blood on the floor and wall. It makes you wonder why you need a flash light to use the toilet area. Too expensive to be this gross.

    This is a fun place to stay and the hospitality is top notch. From the moment we rolled up to the entry, we were treated as special guests. The valet was quick and easy with a text to your phone providing access to your vehicle. The front desk staff couldn't be nicer, quickly pulling up our reservation and sending us to our suite. And the suite...well it was extraordinary. Leather couches and chairs, a fireplace, television and even a Christmas tree made the entry feel magical. The sliding barn door revealed a king bed and a spacious closet with elegant robes and a beautiful bathroom with a jetted tub, double sized shower and separate water closet. There was also a complimentary snack basket filled with complimentary goodies and an external porch with a magnificent view. You can catch a shuttle to and from downtown. The only thing that keeps this from 5 star status is the breakfast buffet and outlook restaurant. Food in both locations was less than it should be. I will just pursue other food options. Also unique opportunity to access Bass Pro Shop and what's not to like there?

    Double Room - there is a balcony overlooking the store behind those drapes
    Sarah H.

    WOW! A M A Z I N G! Had no idea what to expect- but it looked interesting as we were traveling through Memphis and needed a place to stay. The rooms are amazing- curated to perfection to go with the vibe of being in the Great Outdoors! Each room overlooks the store - which is crazy. I had never experienced the enormity of the Bass Pro Shops and the customer service and experience is a platinum level. Make certain to take advantage of the elevators to the top of the Pyramid.

    Does the Big Cypress Lodge have any type of security for their parking lots?

    If you use the valet, they park your car in a fenced in area and the entire parking lot has cameras and the have scheduled drive arounds.

Probably the biggest issue I had was the lack of hot water. When I contacted the front desk, the agent informed me that I would need to run the shower for an average of 15 to 20 minutes for the hot water to start, which is ridiculous that they do not have a larger enough boiler to accommodate the entire hotel property. I asked to speak to the manager on duty and she told me that they were not available and that if I have further concerns, I need to take it up with the hotel general manager in the morning. No compensation was offered, and she said there's no point in moving rooms because the hot water situation will be the same regardless of the room chosen. While this property was in policy within my corporate travel guidelines, I will not be staying here again.
