Lunch a limited menu which this week was self serve soup and salad at a small station. Soup of the week was tomato basil. Salad was a spring mix with assorted toppings : cheese, onions, chopped bacon, grated carrots, cooked eggs, dried fruit, cherry tomatoes, and assorted salad dressing. Also some assorted fruit at the salad station. Cost around $14 per person. A daily wrap or sandwich is offered and cost extra. Once the food is gone, that's it for the day, so hours usually 11am to 2pm. Cooking classes are also offered here by chef Vershawn. One can also rent the room for private parties and events. One can have their parties catered here or bring in their own food.

Don't look for accommodation here because there is no breakfast or any other thing to make you feel comfortable. I don't even know if they have any free Wi-Fi! The rooms are small and parking is good. The rooms are at best mediocre and somewhat clean. How they stay in business is really a good question to ask. It's on Main Street of town and is in walking distance of just about everything you would want. Drives are even shorter, don't come here with the idea that it's modern or large scale. Remember! It's a small town. I would definitely suggest an upgrade to the complex and make it a little larger in the rooms. Of course the place is perfect for a couple with no kids looking to explore our small town and surrounding areas. TV, small fridge and a microwave with a single double bed and a descant shower and sink area. And yes! They have a heater and air conditioner lol! We aren't that back woods anymore! So you will be comfortable in your rooms. I guess the point of traveling is not to stay in your room but to have a place to sleep at night. If that all your looking for than this is the place! Have fun!

Marilyn and Mitch of Camellia Gardens should absolutely be ashamed of themselves. 2 weeks prior to…read moreour wedding, they called us and made us drive over an hour to meet with them and told us we need to cut our list of 150 guests (which was just fine less than 12 hours ago at our final meeting) to 75 guests. Mitch looked at my wife and I and stated verbatim, "People don't really like weddings anyway. There's been plenty of times where I've been on my way to a wedding and decided I don't want to go, so I just turn around." How could the owner of a WEDDING venue say a thing like that? Especially to the party that has paid in full to have the wedding there? Marilyn and Mitch both stated the reason for them making changes (again 2 weeks prior to our wedding) is due to COVID. We completely understood their concerns and agreed to have our guests sign waivers and maintain a safe distance between each other due to it being an all outdoor wedding. Marilyn and Mitch both stated that wasn't good enough and wanted us to change our seating groups AGAIN in order to accommodate for 23 guests per group and they were not allowed to interact in between groups for the entirety of the wedding. As over 50% of our guests were coming out of state, we didn't know how we were going to split them up into groups of 23, let alone uninvite many key family members to our own wedding 2 weeks prior. Speaking to Marilyn on the phone, I had told her that it being 2 weeks away from the wedding, hotels and flights have already been booked for our family members and many of our family members cannot get refunds this close to the date. Fast forward to 9 days before the wedding, Marilyn and Mitch made another important change; no father/daughter dances, cocktail hour, lawn games, or dancing of any kind would be allowed at our wedding. Failure to follow any of their new guidelines would result in Mitch "calling his good friend and Republican Sheriff to come arrest anyone not abiding by their rules." I again called Marilyn and stated that if any of these concerns had been brought up at our final walkthrough in May (My wedding was originally in June but had been moved to August), we would have made the appropriate changes to allow us to have our wedding at Camellia Gardens. During our final walkthrough in May, NC was in the Phase 1 stage of COVID and we had agreed on having the wedding as planned. 9 days before the wedding, we had to call Marilyn and beg her to try to meet halfway with some of our wedding planning as only having half our guests in attendance, no father/daughter dances, cocktail hour, lawn games for reception, and no dancing. Marilyn talked to me as if I was a child and refused to try to come up with any further solutions. I informed her that it being a little over a week away, I would have to think of a possible change of venue and asked if there would be any refund. I understand not refunding the $500.00 deposit, but to refuse ANY refund at all despite their breach of contract in all of the amenities they offer, is absolutely disgraceful. With 9 days before our wedding, all of our invites, save the dates, alcohol ordered, customized with our date on it items such as ring bearer box, vow books, and other misc. items, the flowers ordered, hotels booked, flights booked, honeymoon flights and hotel booked, linens rented, and caterer food ordered, we had no choice but to find another venue and pay for it IN FULL just 8 days from our wedding date. During the first meeting 2 weeks out from our wedding, our wedding coordinator called Marilyn and Mitch on our behalf as we were distraught to try to discuss changes and Marilyn and Mitch were extremely rude and stated, "If they have a problem with it, they can call us to talk about it." After the last phone call with them 8 days prior to the wedding, Marilyn and Mitch then tried calling our wedding coordinator to discuss their CLIENT'S changes and never once tried to reach out to us. During this experience, it is abundantly clear that Marilyn and Mitch of Camellia Gardens are strictly in this business for the money and not actually in their client's best interests in having the best day imaginable. After switching to a new venue, I even had a vast majority of my vendors explain to me how happy they were not to have to work with Camellia Gardens and if they had been booked prior to us finding the venue, they would have told us to stray away from Camellia Gardens. To sum things up, Marilyn and Mitch Eudy of Camellia Gardens are a disgrace to the wedding industry. I highly suggest to anyone reading this that they find a more suitable venue who actually cares about their client's best day imaginable. (Tipsy Goat Estate in Rock Hill, SC is a phenomenal venue who went above and beyond to make our day perfect with just a week away from our wedding. I couldn't recommend them more.)

Nothing scary here in the daylight hours, there's a shelter from the sun and the exterior seems maintained. There's plenty of parking whether you're in a big rig or a four wheeler with an easy entrance and exit from the I-95 speedway, this is definitely not a welcoming center but it appears to have what important to most travelers and there were no lines trying to gain access...
