A very nice place to stay near Pine Mountain. I have…read morevisited Callaway Gardens many times over the years. My last visit was a long time ago and a lot has changed. On a previous visit we stayed at one of the cabins that was on property and had so much fun we researched what was available now. To our surprise, there is now a lodge and spa on property near the cabins that we previously visited. It is a beautiful large 4-story structure with a large foyer, wood beams, large windows and a lake view out the back of the hotel. There is a two-sided fireplace as you enter with a cafe on one side and check-in on the other. Check-in was easy and pleasant. The staff was friendly. Most rooms are to the right as you enter. One of the 2 elevators was broken on our visit. Our room was very nice with a balcony overlooking the lake, a small kitchenette area with a small refrigerator and a microwave. The Lodge is convenient for getting to the park due to its location. The price was definitely more than other hotels in the local area but I think it is worth it for location in/near the gardens.

It looks old, smells old…read more(actually a little moldy or like mothballs), and pieces of appliances are falling apart (see photos). I was afraid to leave my very tiny dog (3 lbs) in the bathroom for us to go grab food because the electrical box (not sure of the exact name but it's where the electrical sockets are) was falling off the wall. If I'm afraid to leave my dog alone around it, it would be a huge problem if an infant happened to crawl up to it... Also, the appliance that you flip to drain water from the bathtub didn't fit properly and there was a 1 inch hole- perfect for tiny fingers to get stuck in. I was shocked by the lack of upkeep at a beautiful place like Callaway Gardens. It is a shame because it is otherwise such a lovely place to be.

This place is closer to a motel 6 - I will never stay here again. Early check in is not at 3 Pm…read more This place smells like old socks and I'm pretty certain there is mold in the ceilings. I would definitely NOT recommend this motel nasty. We were moved twice to rooms that the toilets were not working and the customer service representative that evening Shea was less than hospitable asking (after being moved two times at 8 pm) "What do you want?!" Service is less than helpful. Never returning here again. Many changes are needed. Maybe a bulldozer.

This was a very disappointing overnight stay…read more When we checked in, the room did not appear to have been properly cleaned or inspected. The refrigerator and microwave were not plugged in, and there was standing water on the bathroom floor and in the bathtub, making it feel like the room had already been used. One of the most concerning issues was that the peephole was covered with cardboard, which immediately raised safety concerns. On top of that, we found a roach inside the refrigerator, which is completely unacceptable and made the room feel unsanitary. We were only stopping for one night while traveling, so we didn't explore amenities or nearby attractions, but the condition of the room alone was enough to make this an uncomfortable stay. Overall, this property did not meet basic standards for cleanliness, safety, or readiness. I would not recommend staying here and would suggest travelers look elsewhere.

Upon entering the very small room, it was obvious that it had not been cleaned after the last guest (bedding stripped, pillows piled up on bed, etc.). On returning to the front desk, the clerk offered to go clean it up herself - stating that it would not take her more than twenty minutes. We were told that no other rooms were available. Not wanting a room that would be hurriedly cleaned, we opted for a refund and left to find a much larger, nicer and CLEANED room at another property nearby. The clerk was very apologetic but offered nothing for our convenience. No management was anywhere to be seen.

There wasn't anyone behind us so she really took her time explaining stuff there. We have come for the Christmas and Halloween lights before but never for gardens. We went to gardens the chapel and the butterfly center. We don't have much time but there really is a lot to do here. It is like 25 per person so I definitely recommend getting there early and making a day of it. Bring lunch and have a picnic. Visit gardens butterflies and chapel as well as the raptor center. Take a hike and relax at the beach. You really can make a whole day there and with all you can do 25 isn't bad.

Gorgeous Venue, But Major Disorganization and Stress The…read morevenue itself is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations given the high cost. The flowers were completely wrong, and the coordinator--who was new--caused several issues, including handing out corsages and boutonnieres to the wrong guests. The timeline wasn't followed, and the flow of the event felt disjointed. My photographer even had to step in to help coordinate, which is definitely not part of her job. While I understand that the coordinator was new, it was still very frustrating, especially for the amount we were paying. My advice: choose the cheapest package and pick your own vendors for a smoother experience. The venue is beautiful, but the lack of professionalism and organization made for a stressful day.

We started a list of problems but eventually stopped because it was just exhausting. I could make this review ten pages long with specific problems but it would lead to the same conclusion. This place is an expensive dump. The owners clearly don't care and are milking this chalet for every penny they can get. They are slum lords, full stop, and I wish we had carefully read the reviews of this disgusting place before we paid $6900 for a weeks stay. To be fair (and this explains the uneven reviews) there are a lot of chalets on site and some are in way better shape then others. Sadly the largest chalet (#62), and likely most expensive, is in derelict disrepair. Under no circumstances should you stay here, unless you wish a bag full of fleas, filth and black mold to take home as souvenirs of your "visit" to the Pine Mountain Resort Chalets.

I wish I could give this zero stars. I have stayed here 3 times and my first two stays were what I…read moreexpected for $55 a night. However my most recent stay was a disaster. Phone in the room didn't work. Lights didn't come on. Found a bagel with a bite out of it in the microwave. Worst of all was the WiFi and the service. My first two times staying here my room was in the building connected to the lobby. This time however I was in the second building which is not attached to the first. The Wi-Fi in this building does not work at all. I went down to complain and asked to be moved but was told the first building was completely full. The employee tried to tell me that it must be my devices that aren't connecting. Yet I can get Wi-Fi perfectly fine in the lobby and around the first building but when I went to my room. His response was that no other guest have complained. I asked other guests around my room if they could get Wi-Fi and the answers were a resounding no. They say they have free Wi-Fi but it only works for one of the two buildings so you just have to get lucky I guess. The staff was so rude that I canceled my reservation and will never come back. I'm not the type of person that usually writes reviews so this place was pretty horrible for me to take the time to do this. Don't stay here!

The person who "greeted" me upon check in asked me repeatedly if I had a dog with me in an accusatory fashion, like I was trying to sneak a dog in. She really got kind of weird about it, LOL, people must sneak dogs in a lot - but it only costs $10 to bring a dog, so this should have alerted me to the quality of both the hotel and clients. Alas, what do you do at 9:00 PM in rural GA after a 9 hour drive? Suck it up, right?! So, the dog inquisition was kind of strange but mildly amusing. I mean, really, what do you expect, it is $77 hotel in Pine Mountain, GA. But, it gets worse. Dried food (I hope it was food - this is my best guess) on the carpet, hair and filth in the corners of the bathrooms, filthy tub/drain. Drunk people pounding and screaming on my door at 3:30 AM to come out so they could kick my a**...not sure what this was all about, but when we called down to the office for assistance, they told us to call the police if we needed help. It's all pretty funny in a gross and redneck way in retrospect. However, I will never stay there again and I would be hard pressed to stay at any Days Inn in the future. For $80.00, I stayed at a La Quinta in Ocala, Florida (another small town) that was quiet, neat and clean with a friendly staff.
