The week of my daughter's Sweet 16, I was told things like the food were never included, despite discussing them prior. The staff member who was supposed to assist on-site during the event never even showed up. I ended up doing far more work than expected for the price I paid. The space is nice, but the poor communication and lack of follow-through made for a very disappointing experience.

I went here for a wedding this past weekend and from the perspective of someone attending an event,…read moreI have this to say. 1) The place was immaculate. Bathrooms were clean, lobby was clean. Everything was clean. 2) The reception was catered and the staff was really good. They came around all the time to give refills and to take plates away. 3) The temperature was good. Not too warm, not too cold like some places. My mother of the bride is one of my partner's BFFs and it seems like (from what she said), the price to rent the space and catering was reasonable. They had several rooms of varying sizes which could come in handy for any kind of event. The one thing I thought was weird was that the bridal suite was on the completely opposite side of the building from where the wedding took place and if you wanted to walk inside, rather than outside, you had to go through 2 of the big rooms. I don't know what they do when there are multiple events taking place. Maybe they never schedule multiple events? Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

Be prepared for spotty cell service as you travel miles off the main road into a tranquil escape. There is free parking directly in front of the clubhouse, where you will check in to enjoy your day. Venue and Atmosphere The clubhouse is recently renovated, bright, well appointed, and clean. We visited the pool and restaurant via a day pass. The pool area features lockers and showers, and they even have pool floaties that you can borrow, free of charge. The pool is large, with plenty of room for multiple groups to be inside and not bumping into anyone. There is a hot tub and adults only pool as well, however when we visited the adult pool was closed. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Our waitress and bartender were great. They were professional and the drinks were amazing! Food and Beverages We ordered a buffalo chicken wrap, hamburger, and many more margaritas than I'd like to admit (it's 5 o'clock somewhere right?). Everything was delicious, served hot, and the drinks were flavorful yet strong enough. Nothing on the lunch menu was too heavy, which was perfect because I like to digest my meal while relaxing in the pool. Verdict I'll definitely visit again. A pool day is always a nice treat, especially during the dog days of ATL summer!

The…read moreroom was right by the water, it was clean, the scenery was amazing, it was not crowded, it was quiet, we saw plenty of deer on the daily and the customer service was great. We wanted to book an ATV ride but they were having maintenance being done, but so that we weren't bummed too much the receptionist let us choose a different activity and gave us late checkout.There are so many ponds to fish in, as well as places for great pics. Definitely will come back! Only things i'd add would be a microwave in the room, clearer signage for where your room is along the walkway, and also more lights along the sidewalk to your room at night. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience at our first resort!

I had my wedding reception in this venue at the end of May 2011, but signed the contract somewhere…read morearound last July. My ceremony was at the nearby O'Neal Plaza, I will do a seperate review for that experience. When I looked at this venue, one of the first things that I did was to pay attention to capacity. I knew that we were going to end up with a LOT of folks considering that we both have huge families and lots of friends, and we tend to be more inclusive than that turn folks away who wanted to have a great time. Great, the brochure says that this venue can accomodate 250 folks in a sit down style reception, 300+ if it is a theatre style, we should be fine... right? Hmm... after several months and visits to look at the site... wrong! Well, there is another side room to move the food, maybe we can put teenagers over in that room to make a little more space and we'll be good. Crisis averted, but I strongly caution that if you need this large space for full functionaltiy, that you make sure that you don't just read the literature that they provide. I went to visit this facility several times over the course of the months leading up to the wedding. I would see some people prepping days prior to their event if they needed to. But, I was repeatedly told (even in seeing others setting up for their events early) that I could not enter the facilty until the day of the event since someone else was having an event the day before. I asked if it were possible that I come in after they finished, no. I asked if we could pay to come earlier that morning, no. Emphatically no, it was impossible, could not do it. We happened to be at the facility the day before the wedding for rehearsal on the outdoors. The couple who had the facility had their wedding ceremony at the venue the day before us and had no intention of staying in the venue that entire night. So... we COULD HAVE set up early instead of getting it all in that morning? Thanks for your help... All in all, I enjoyed this venue for my reception. I suppose that there are going to be problems wherever you go. If I had it to do all over again, after reading my review on the outdoor O'Neal Plaza... my answer is yes, I'd pick another place.

I had my wedding at the new douglasville conference center this past July and I loved it. The…read morebuilding is beautiful. The ballroom was Amazing! and Jennifer is just great to work with. We had our wedding ceremony in a section of the ballroom and our reception right next door with the half of the ballroom. We had about 100 guest who fit comfortably on both sides. Jennifer and her crew were very accommodating and welcoming and I have nothing but great things to say about them. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because we weren't able to pick our own caterer or even from a list of caterers. The center works exclusively with Proof of the Pudding(who are also good and food was very tasty) but I would have liked to be able to be given more than one option in caterers. Speaking from someone who was on a super tight budget, the caterer can make a huge difference.

My mother has terminal cancer and we ended up having to get married a year earlier than we planned so we were stressing about finding a venue that could put together our dream wedding in 5 months. We almost settled and gave up on that dream wedding until we found The Cotton Gin. I still have no idea how they pulled it off so seamlessly. The Cotton Gin went above and beyond to make the whole day smooth for both my mom and us. When they say "all inclusive" they mean it. I did not lift a single finger for coordinating vendors, stressing about timing, or anything that usually causes stress for brides. I was calm the whole day and if any anxiety arose at any point in the process, the staff reassured me and was proactive in accommodating anything I needed. The owner Amanda is a creative genius and you can tell she loves what she does. Her goal is to give all brides a dream wedding that fits their budget. You can tell that she put careful thought into choosing staff that has the same passion and vision. Truly I feel like I made bonds with the staff that will last a life time. All of my guests gave extremely positive feedback about their experience! Also, the food was literally a 5 star dining experience. I am going to be craving their salmon and stuffed mushrooms for the rest of my life. I wish I could get married to my husband again and again so I can give The Cotton Gin more of my business!!

Wow! Everything was so wonderful from start to finish. We were guests for a wedding reception and…read moreeverything went so smoothly. Staff was very calm and professional and kept the appetizers coming. Bar offered a lot of interesting drinks. The venue itself is gorgeous with very little of your own decorating needed. They literally took care of everything it seemed. Lots of places to take pictures. We had beef mashed potatoes and asparagus, which came out temperature hot and well seasoned. The shrimp and grits for the appetizer was delicious and the presentation of the cheeses was wonderful. A beautiful, intimate and cozy place with a couple levels, including a dance floor. I would highly recommend this place if you're interested in having a wedding reception.

I've stayed at this location numerous times, but it was not for leisure and instead business so…read moreluckily I wasn't the one forking the money; however, I also had no choice but to stay here because there aren't many decent hotels in this area and close to our office. The couple of times I've stayed here, I've experienced the following: 1) Guests: Strange guests that smoke marijuana in their rooms. They have a no smoking policy so I'm not sure why they can't kick them out. Smells like Motel 6 at times 2) HVAC: A few months ago, I was in a room where the AC was not blowing any cold air. Settings were correct. I reached out to the front desk and they sent their maintenance person who opened the front panel and plugged something in. Well that didn't work either and finally they decided to give me another room. 3) Roaches: Yes.....do I need say more. 4) Cleanliness: Sheets are not that clean and neither are towels. You can tell when one towel is more yellow then the other. If you really look at the bathroom floors, you will find hair everywhere. The pull out bed from the couch is this old filthy mattress. The bag with the sheets and pillow were probably up there for a long time as they did not smell right. Had to get that swapped out. And don't bother looking under the sofas....you'll know how well housekeeping cleans. 5) Elevators: Stay away from them. Back in July 2024 we were in the left elevator and when it reached the lobby we heard and felt this loud thump. Then it took the door 20 seconds to open. We started to use the one on the right. Well, fast forward to last week's stay, we were on the same dang elevator and as soon as it reached the lobby the door would not open at all. It kept trying to open but it was stuck in a loop where it would close before it could crack open. We tried pressing the button, but no luck. Then I hit the 2nd floor and it still would not do anything. I ended up calling using their emergency line and they stated they'll get someone from maintenance to assist. Well 10 min go by and I was about to lose it. All of a sudden the elevator began to go up to the 2nd floor and opened. We pretty much ran out and took the stairs. Then when they saw us they canceled the fire fighters to assist. An Out of Order sign was never placed and another guest got stuck as well. Then they finally put up a sign. They were willing to give us some money back for the stay but it would not benefit me b/c my employer paid for the room so they gave me extra points....only 2,000 points...not enough for anything.
