Disliked: Amenities
It was very quiet, & the room was spacious, the beds comfortable. This is more like a conference center than a resort. No pool, no activities, other than a zip line, which is a separate cost. Next time we go will certainly stay in another hotel in down town.

Received room service only two of our four day stay. Housekeeping did not service our room for the last two days. Bed was not made, fresh towels were not provided, trash was not removed and no sign of any cleaning in the room for those days. Roaches and other bugs were present in the room in the evening. Maintenance provided no repellent or assistance in eliminating the bug problem. We were given an option to move to another room, but that was not convenient for us. Our room was in a building with no elevator making it difficult for us to carry our luggage to our room. As seniors, we should have been given the opportunity to be assigned to a building with an elevator. The best part of our stay was the breakfast. Wonderful food. Location of the lodge was convenient to Helen, Georgia, where we initially wanted to stay, but rooms were not available during our stay.
