Decent rest area with a pet area and large, clean bathrooms with custodial staff onsite. Plenty of parking and trash cans. They have a nice handicap ramp since it's located on a hill.

I wish I could do zero stars. I booked this hotel and cancelled it within the allowed time frame. I…read morespoke with Eva Hardy at the front desk. She assured me it was cancelled. I then was charged 4 times on my card. I called hotel and again and spoke with Eva. She stated that she remembered me cancelling and would fix it. She was very kind and I felt better. Once the GE got involved she completely changed her story and flat out lied. She stated I did not cancel. I have the record of my phone call and luckily recorded Eva apologizing to me and stating she would fix her mistake. I am disputing this with my bank and then Will see them in court. Phil Patel the manager/owner was no help at all. They lost a lot of business with us. As we travel there regularly for softball tournaments.

Not a safe place to stay and NOTHING works. My digital key didn't work so I had to get a key card…read moreat the desk and have my room number said out loud... okay fine. The peloton in the gym doesn't connect to anything. Okay annoying but maybe there's a connection issue. Then the water fountain in the gym doesn't work.... Okay again not a big deal the front desk gave me a water bottle. This is where things get UNSAFE though. The iron cord doesn't fit in the outlets in the room, causing sparks and a very lose connection. And the deadbolt in my room didn't actually work. Based on other reviews on here I'm afraid to lodge a formal complaint, since I travel to the area for work and there are only a limited number of hotels. I don't plan to stay here again but if the others are fully booked I'll need a back up option.

The Lodge at Little Ocmulgee State Park - Fairway Grill Dining Room

The Lodge at Little Ocmulgee State Park

They have upgraded this lodge greatly since the last time I stayed. The staff has always been very…read morepleasant and accommodating. But the room was definitely upgraded. It has a bit of a modern clean feel. The bathroom is large with a glass step in shower. They have a coffee maker as well as a step up from a mini fridge/ freezer. They have a large TV. The beds are very comfortable. Only draw backs ...The door sticks when you try to open it. You have to hit it with your hip hard to make it open after you unlock it with your card. Also the phone in the room didn't work at all... I couldn't even call the desk. I was trying to call to get the wifi access code... but couldn't call. The beads amazing and rooms are greP! So all in all a very good trip!

Great News: Fantastic lodge prices: a one night stay cost me…read moreonly $58!! (for 1 adult and 2 seniors!!) Scenic state park featuring an 18 hole golf course (I refrain from golf for embarrassment reasons) Friendly small-town staff. Small airport directly across the highway. VERY effective room air-conditioning. Single story buildings. Small "Restaurant" inside the lodge (did not dine there). Color Television with Cable. Iron & Ironing Board. Coffeemaker. Hair dryer. Space-age built-in soap/shampoo/conditioner dispensers. Glamorous News: This same lodge was recently used by the crew of one of those family-fixing "Nanny" reality shows while they were filming an episode in the McRae area. The lingering cloud of "Hollywood Glamour" at the lodge is palpable, though you should be careful not to confuse it with the teeming hordes of angry gnats (see below). Non-Glamorous News: Location may be perceived as "isolated" by resort-conscious (there is no "ocean view"). Woods be full of Captain Drew's lubber kinfolk and ticks (in equal measure). Teeming hordes of angry gnats. Angry, angry gnats that should not be confused with Hollywood Glamour (see above). Bad News: Firm mattresses. Relentlessly firm mattresses. Unforgivingly firm mattresses. The Deal: If you've a bad back, drive south Jim m'lad and don't stop 'till you've arrived at the wooden sign for the Little Ocmulgee State Park (and Lodge). Located about 35 minutes south of Dublin in the heart of Gnats-Up-Your-Nose County, this state park be the same locale where Captain Drew goes for his annual family reunion of inlaws and outlaws.... partly because we be such a wild bunch that we can't be contained by anything smaller, but mostly because it only costs us a couple hundred groats to rent an air-conditioned pavilion with its own surface parking lot. Perhaps one day I'll take one of you sweet-bottomed lasses down there on me arm to show off to me cousin/wives.... In all these years of herding my parents down to the reunion we've never stayed overnight in this state park's lodge UNTIL last week, when we found ourselves compelled southward by familial love and memorial duty. En route we agreed to give this state-run lodge a tryout since our former favorite, the Magnolia Inn, is now operated by a friendly family with a penchant for curries so indescribably pungent that the scent has permanently permeated the molecular essence of every structural component of their flophouse. While I enjoy a good curry as well as the next fellow, I also enjoy the delicious aroma of 78% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor. We were certain to find fresh air at the Little Ocmulgee State Park Lodge, and we did!! Signing In A breeze.... super fast. Our Stay Our lodgings were VERYsatisfactory. With the exception of a missing ice bucket (we had the lid), the room was as fully stocked as any other contemporary hotel room you'd find anywhere else in the nation. Why spend more somewhere else? Checking Out My only recommendation is to make every effort to prevent men in golfing togs and pronounced drawls getting in line ahead of you (especially if they're in the sawmill business) because they will delay your departure by 20 minutes as they kibitz with the friendly staff, loudly declaring how much money they make, detailing how much their monthly income surpasses the annual income of their fellow townfolk and generally strutting about acting "all rich and stuff". One solution to this dilemma is of course to nip out onto the nearby "wetlands" boardwalk (ie, swampy-path-to-nowhere), secure some sort of non-venomous-but-nontheless-agitated indigenous wildlife and insert it into the open golfbags in the back of the rich guys' pick-up trucks. Alternately, you can simply stand in line behind them with a fake smile plastered across your face, pondering at how marvelously ridiculous your little planet can be~

I ended up here because I'm working about 35 miles away in Vidalia. I stayed at Hilton's Home2…read moreSuites in Vidalia (reviewed and updated separately). It was a pretty nice place, but had a weird smell. At first I thought it was tolerable. Once I returned home, my luggage and clothing reeked so terribly that I had to wash them in Tide hygienic ultra pods twice. So as a Marriott girl, I came here. Not sure all the hate. When I checked in, they automatically addressed my ambassador status (which I don't care about, but just putting it out there). I got upgraded from a regular king room to a king suite, which has a lot more room and is really nice for a longer stay like mine (seven days). I got a free water as an ambassador. The room is clean, the bed is firm, but decent. The room doesn't smell terrible. Could use a little more storage space (only two full sized drawers). Located near several chain restaurants and about four miles from Main Street for some smaller local places. I think this is probably gonna be worth the drive.

I stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks during brutal cold weather from 1/18/26 to 2/1/26 with NO…read moreWORKING HEATING. They would not move me to another room and kept telling me every day the parts were ordered to fix it. The manager, Cynthia was a total rude ass. Never recommend this hotel to anyone. They never once replenished my coffee supplies the entire stay and I was told it is against Marriott policy to actually line the trash cans with new bags. They were simply left hanging over the edge of the trash can for me to do it myself. Completely unacceptable!

When I got to my room, the bed was unmade and the room had clearly not even been cleaned. It reeked of cigarette smoke and my friend's room smelled even worse. When we went back to the front to tell the guy, we once again had to wait for him to finish his personal call to tell him the conditions of our rooms. His response was "I don't have anything else so you can take it or leave it. I'd be happy to cancel your reservation." Didn't even offer to have someone come and clean the room. Would rather drive 50 miles out of the way than stay here. You probably should to.

Our second stop was at the Quality Inn in Madison GA, also a good motel, but on our return north, we decided to alter our daily travel this time and stopped for the night at the Quality Inn in Dublin GA. This was our first time there, and we were satisfied with it. It appeared clean and was comfortable, which is all we want from an overnight motel stay. And breakfast the following morning was very good with waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, juice, coffee, sweet rolls, cereal and yogurt. Desk clerk was very friendly and suggested dinner at a nearby restaurant called the Pickle Barrel. I've reviewed it in a separate post.

The hour drive to Fairfield inn became too much and holiday inn was out of company policy, so I…read morelanded back here. Again, everything else is great. Easy mobile check in. Rooms fairly clean, though the industrial cleaner they use is kinda slimy and sticky. Daily housekeeping if you request it. Rooms fairly comfortable, though many of the electrical outlets are suspect and one actually blew up and sparked on me. Price a little steep, but I guess they can charge what they want due to limited options. Staff is pretty nice. But it still smells funky. I think it's the fabuloso cleaner, which is NOT fabulous.

While this location was not as close as I wanted to be...it was by all means a great pick so, I…read morevarious things about H2S. 1. The staff that checked me in...I fell in love with as they were guy w/the ponytail and small young lady offered their recommendation to the tavern across the street which I did walk over to that night after my nap. There was individual wrapped apples, guest if you were in dire need for a quick bite. This was a cordial inviting welcome when checking in. Of course, I took an Apple! 2. When I say I loved loved the room...I LOVED THE ROOM! I like a room you can walk into & you are not at the bed as soon as you walk in. And this is what I got here...room, room & more room. A clean fridge, microwave, bathroom was refreshing. Wasn't via found of the TV mode it took a minute for me to figure out. It took too many buttons pushes to select a station. Besides that & a dark large stain on the carpet, all else was fabulous! 3. I felt safe & got a great nights sleep! However now...I know what to ask for when I make my next reservation...downside was the next morning...I learned after being wakened out my sleep pretty early in the morning that...my room was across from the staff's laundry room or room that the cleaning staff went in to load up the carts. I'm not a morning person & was waken by constant banging every few minutes. Also, the pool was unfortunately not available for use. I mean come on Hilton it's summertime, we need pool access!!! If you knew that day I had & the transition s my hair went through so, trust me when I say...I deserved to swim a few laps! I paid and expected that I could take a swim & lounge into cone off my day trip into town. I finally got up to open the door & looked around...then a young lady came out to load up the towel cart and I gathered now where the banging noise was coming from...she was going in & out of the room across from my room and the door was closing on the door stopper she had put in the floor of the door to kept the door cracked. She looked, we caught eye & I mentioned to her I was wondering where the banging was coming from. Her response was, "Oh, my bad." I closed the door and that was that., Ohhh & I liked that the breakfast was included and when I say the breakfast was better than expected...it was great! Thought the individually wrapped avocado half's were a unique idea! I love avocado but, think when I travel...I'm going to pack me some scissors cause I could NOT for the life of me...get this plastic open so I could eat the avocado. Yes, next time I'm bring scissors & oh...Tanjin for their darn avocado. Overall, I do like this hotel and I strongly recommend this suite to stay if you're in town or looking for a 4 Star hotel.

We needed a much needed rest so I was able to find the Best Western Bradford Inn in Swainsboro, GA It's a larger town than it seems. The hotel sits back from the road. Very friendly staff. The front desk clerk amazing. We were given room 101 she called it a King Suite. The room is adequately large with King size bed, nice large flat screen TV. Very pleased, room could use some lightening brightening up but hey I'm not here to decorate. Definitely would stay again. They have outside pool with hours 9am to 9pm, but too pooped from traveling to enjoy. Hope if you stay you have a great experience too. Our bed was very comfortable. No bugs or other creepy crawlies!!! Clean clean clean, including bathroom. Plus the next morning they offer a full Hot Meal Breakfast with Eggs, Toast, Waffles, Breakfast Meats..all part of the price of your stay! I'm a rewards member so I also enjoy the perks of points to save for a free nights stay!!

This is a decent hotel, not the best I've stayed in but the facility is clean and well tended to…read more My room is somewhat spacious and the furniture is in an almost new state. My bed is comfortable enough but not great. The pillows are typical lower cost hotel type pillows but they give you three per bed. Each room comes with a refrigerator and microwave. They have a morning breakfast that is eggs and sausage with toast. It also includes waffles, cereal, coffee and juices. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is right down the street from multiple restaurants, the mojo liquor store and Wal Mart. I would definitely stay here again.
