My husband and I are on a road trip through the south. I found a groupon to Creekside and was so pumped to stay at a place on the water off the beaten path in AL.
When we pulled up I was let down to discover that the lodge is right on the highway and away from the lake. You can see the lake past the cars, parking lot and other buildings. This was disappointment number one. We soon realized that the lake is dammed in the winter and so there is barely any water, so our plans to kayak the lake (one of our main reasons for going there) was not possible. This was disappointment number two.
After a trip to Oskars and a glass of wine - we returned in hopes of getting in the warm hot tub! Nope - the hot tub was shut down! WTF! This was disappointment number three.
To top it off, continental breakfast was comprised of Little Debbie like pastries, a few pieces of fresh fruit, juice and yogurt. It was something, I'll give them that. I know that my expectations might have been higher regarding the breakfast, so I will take the blame for this part of the review.
I felt led on by the website regarding the location, activities and amenities.
With that said, our bed was comfortable and and Landon, the gentlemen working, was amazing! He is a keeper! read more
