Tonight, my husband and I attended the first, hopefully an annual, State Park Christmas lantern…read moreholiday hike. It was the story of Ebeneezer Scrooge and the Christmas Carol. The trail hike, a family friendly, short and sweet, hike, with the lead of an incredible State Park Ranger. The park Ranger graciously led the way and read the story aloud. It was a family fun event. Afterwards, we were able to drive through the Christmas lights through the park. It reminded us as a similar show, from the Memphis Shelby Farms starry nights, so nice to have this here at the Pickwick State Park. Thank you so much for all who arranged these events, we enjoyed it very much!

They answered all my questions and they were pleasant and very helpful. I was so thrilled to learn that this hotel is dog friendly. During the overnight shift change, Melissa was such a delight to converse with. The breakfast area was top notch. I would gladly return to this hotel in a heartbeat!

So let me start by saying the hotel charm is beautiful. Unfortunately the hotel was just sold so we…read moreheard. Lots of issues with not having water while we were there but the worst thing is this lady Bonnie at breakfast she is awful. Not friendly not inviting. She does the least she can do you can tell she hates her job. We staying 10 days and unfortunately she was there most of them. We did however have a sweet lady named Angel a few of the days. She was a breath of fresh air. When I say this Bonnie lady was bad I mean poison to the business. We saw her be rude to so many people. To the hotel management put Angel in charge she knows how to treat people.

We made it 1 hour before leaving. When we arrived at 3 PM (check-in time), there was no one at the…read morefront desk and we had to call to get someone to come and check us in. During the check-in process, the Big Bad Breakfast trash had to be taken out through the hotel lobby. When we got to our room, the AC unit was making a noise every 20 seconds or so. When we went downstairs to ask about getting it fixed, they immediately knew which room we were in (so clearly a known issue that no one has bothered to correct). The only solution they offered was a refund so we found a different hotel thankfully! I have no idea how this is a 4-star hotel - we will not be back.

Our stay last night was very unpleasant. We were super excited about our stay at The Stricklin, as…read morethe hotel is very quaint and has so much character and charm. The hotel was also extremely convenient for a wedding we attended just a few blocks away, and the room was very clean and comfortable. However, when it came time to go to sleep, our room was extremely loud, as the wall of our headboard backed up to the club, FloBama, directly next door. The music went on until after 2:00 AM, and the traffic noise (e.g., honking horns, motorcycle traffic, screaming and yelling) continued for hours later. I regret staying here and advise others against it as well. There should be a warning so guests can expect to be unable to sleep until after 3 AM. The money we paid for the room was extremely overpriced, and I sure wish we could receive a refund or discounted rate, as we were unable to sleep at all and left before 7 AM, so we could come home to TN and sleep in our own quiet bed.

Recently experienced for the third time that the golf course screwed up a golf tournament. Twice…read moreit was allowing groups to go ahead of a shotgun start causing multiple groups on each hole. Then yesterday, they forgot we scheduled a 40 person tournament months ago and booked others. We had 20 tournament carts waiting on the 1st tee while they gave priority to those they booked in error causing us to have a 6 hour round. I like the challenging course, but the golf course management needs to make serious changes.

Spring time in Alabama when up north it is snowing is just a true delight. My darling really struggled on the GENERAL, after her tee shots she had side hill lies, they were so difficult for her.
