I am not an aficionado of state park lodges. We had our family reunion here. So here is the rundown. The staff is very nice. A plus there. The food was decent. I am guessing that is par for a place like this. The lodging was about on par for a 2.5 star hotel. 1. For a place for all this water, it would be helpful if they offered a direct way to get a fishing licence for those traveling in from out of town 2. Wanted to go horseback riding, but spaces went very fast. It didn't seem like the place was that busy (our reunion + maybe eight other families there)... so not even 50% utilized. Should be a more organized way to sign-up in advance. 3. This was right after some local flooding, so TV was down as well as some walking trails. They may have had some other things to do that were shutdown, but the lodge was not open about that before we got there. 4. Need more things to do unless the staff just couldn't tell us.

The kids enjoyed the playground near the lodge, I enjoyed the history in the hallways of the lodge and some country jam session in the lobby that lasted all day. We saw a bald eagle flying over one of the campgrounds. The scenery was great. The nature center had a lot to see. Foggy Bottom Restaurant was a little pricey but the food was good and convenient and there isn't much to choose from in town anyway. The manager was kind enough to let us look through the gift shop after closing and the cook was a pleasure to talk to the next night. We did the Trail Run and I think the Fitness Trail is really nice. I wouldn't pay for their golf carts again though-super slow. $40 and we hardly used it because it took too long to get around. I will definitely return! read more

Sequoyah-State Park - Trail Run - Hotels Near Me - Hulbert, Oklahoma

My family and I rented rooms and cabins here over the weekend from Thursday 7/28/16 - 8/1/16. We spent a LOT of money. There are 10 siblings, nine showed up, with all of their children as well. So this is a BIG number! The front desk staff is NOT friendly and don't seem to know anything. They could not answer even the most simple of questions, such as, how much does the breakfast buffet cost at the ONLY restaurant at the location. The rooms cost a little over $100 a night so at the very least a continental breakfast should have been served! There is only ONE restaurant on the entire huge property. Only soda vending machines available, no snacks. ONE ice machine for the entire resort located inconveniently on the far side of the lobby area. There are NO other restaurants, bars etc at the resort. So if you want to grab food or liquor etc you have to drive to wagoner or Hulbert. NOT having food and drink sources is unbelievable with nothing else anywhere close. Not even a convenience store is close!!! No room service and the rooms are only moderately clean. The staff is young and were clearly irritated by having a full hotel. We were not the only family reunion there, and yes, it was busy but isn't what the resort would want?? My sisters and I heard two female employees loudly complaining about how busy it was and how much it "sucked" and they wished it was Sunday and we would all clear out. How un-professional! None of our bathrooms were clean, the toilet paper holders were a joke and we made fun of how they came off the wall when we tried to get toilet paper. We all had to take the toilet paper and place it on the tub or sink for use. Each time we opened our doors to the outside facing the pool we had to deal with hornets flying at us and into our rooms as there were hornets nests in the doorways. There was trash on the outdoor patios that we all had to clean up ourselves, that's ridiculous! Some patios were missing chairs. There were suppose to be two chairs and a small table at each room, some only had one chair, or none!! My father, grandfather and Aunt all have lake homes directly across the lake from the resort, we have been coming to Ft Gibson our whole lives so we were excited to have our reunion there. We have pontoon boats and we boated back and forth from Dads dock to the resort to pick up and drop off, however, there are no boat docks to tie to so we had to dock at the fishing dock and irritate that people fishing! How could a resort ON THE LAKE not accommodate boats!!!!! The only restaurant had terrible food. The service was extremely slow and the staff not friendly or knowledgeable at all and no room service. We will not be staying there again and will plan our next reunion at a more accommodating location that will actually welcome us. We are a big family and we tip big, but not this time. Clean up the resort, its too beautiful to let it fall apart the way it is and its sad. I remember how beautiful it was when we were kids. Truly too bad and a really bad experience, as far as the resort is concerned. Bethanie Canterbury 8/1/2016 read more

That Sequoyah Lodge Resort is a rip off, I suggest you all double check your cards, that you were not over charged. First they charged and deducted from my bank account over $1000 for a room that was only $395 for the weekend while I was there, before I even checked out. I spent countless hours at that front desk trying to get their screw up straighten out. Then at check out they charged me yet another $285 the balance I owned. Stating the $1000 would be reversed. NO they didn't, in fact they charged me an extra $400 on top of the $395 (110.25 deposit in advance + 285 I already paid for the room. They refuse to fix this or even call me back!!! Management apparently nobody manages that place. Their Accounts manager Cheyenne assured me she would figure it out and call me back in a few minutes. That was days ago and she is not returning any of my messages. Oh and the room door was infested with wasp and I got stung, I am allergic and had to seek medical attention. Their staff can't answer basic questions about the rooms they are booking. The TV had terrible reception. I gave one star because the room was clean, nice, and roomy. Yeah what a lovely weekend read more

We had a large group go to the restaurant in the Lodge this past week. The breakfast buffet was good, but over-priced. If you ordered off the menu as I did and a few members of our group. It took forever. It took 20 mins for the waitress to get all our orders, that's reasonable, but it took 45 mins to get our french toast or pancakes. That's not reasonable, and it wasn't even the weekend. The french toast was fantastic and so were the pancakes. read more

This State Park is one of the nicest RV parks we have stayed in! It is well maintained and very clean. It is always mowed and well manicured. There are plenty of activities within the park; they offer a full golf course, miles of walking trails with work out stations along the trail, horse back riding, a tennis court and basketball court, and an animal rehabilitation center for the kiddos to see some of the local critters here in Oklahoma. They also offer cabins and lodging rooms for those who are not as inclined to tent camp or RV camp. For those who stay in their lodge or cabins, they offer a swimming pool and kiddy splash pad along with a full service restaurant. And then, as if all this wasn't enough, there is a big, beautiful lake to waste away the day on you boat or on one of their rental boats! All in all, it's a great place to stay! read more

It is a very nice looking lodge with great amenities. There is alovely pool and a resonably priced restaurant. The staff, however is aloof and dumb. They couldn't answer basic questions about the park and the facilities. I came away unimpressed and decided to head back home read more
