They have upgraded this lodge greatly since the last time I stayed. The staff has always been very…read morepleasant and accommodating. But the room was definitely upgraded. It has a bit of a modern clean feel. The bathroom is large with a glass step in shower. They have a coffee maker as well as a step up from a mini fridge/ freezer. They have a large TV. The beds are very comfortable. Only draw backs ...The door sticks when you try to open it. You have to hit it with your hip hard to make it open after you unlock it with your card. Also the phone in the room didn't work at all... I couldn't even call the desk. I was trying to call to get the wifi access code... but couldn't call. The beads amazing and rooms are greP! So all in all a very good trip!

Great News: Fantastic lodge prices: a one night stay cost me…read moreonly $58!! (for 1 adult and 2 seniors!!) Scenic state park featuring an 18 hole golf course (I refrain from golf for embarrassment reasons) Friendly small-town staff. Small airport directly across the highway. VERY effective room air-conditioning. Single story buildings. Small "Restaurant" inside the lodge (did not dine there). Color Television with Cable. Iron & Ironing Board. Coffeemaker. Hair dryer. Space-age built-in soap/shampoo/conditioner dispensers. Glamorous News: This same lodge was recently used by the crew of one of those family-fixing "Nanny" reality shows while they were filming an episode in the McRae area. The lingering cloud of "Hollywood Glamour" at the lodge is palpable, though you should be careful not to confuse it with the teeming hordes of angry gnats (see below). Non-Glamorous News: Location may be perceived as "isolated" by resort-conscious (there is no "ocean view"). Woods be full of Captain Drew's lubber kinfolk and ticks (in equal measure). Teeming hordes of angry gnats. Angry, angry gnats that should not be confused with Hollywood Glamour (see above). Bad News: Firm mattresses. Relentlessly firm mattresses. Unforgivingly firm mattresses. The Deal: If you've a bad back, drive south Jim m'lad and don't stop 'till you've arrived at the wooden sign for the Little Ocmulgee State Park (and Lodge). Located about 35 minutes south of Dublin in the heart of Gnats-Up-Your-Nose County, this state park be the same locale where Captain Drew goes for his annual family reunion of inlaws and outlaws.... partly because we be such a wild bunch that we can't be contained by anything smaller, but mostly because it only costs us a couple hundred groats to rent an air-conditioned pavilion with its own surface parking lot. Perhaps one day I'll take one of you sweet-bottomed lasses down there on me arm to show off to me cousin/wives.... In all these years of herding my parents down to the reunion we've never stayed overnight in this state park's lodge UNTIL last week, when we found ourselves compelled southward by familial love and memorial duty. En route we agreed to give this state-run lodge a tryout since our former favorite, the Magnolia Inn, is now operated by a friendly family with a penchant for curries so indescribably pungent that the scent has permanently permeated the molecular essence of every structural component of their flophouse. While I enjoy a good curry as well as the next fellow, I also enjoy the delicious aroma of 78% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor. We were certain to find fresh air at the Little Ocmulgee State Park Lodge, and we did!! Signing In A breeze.... super fast. Our Stay Our lodgings were VERYsatisfactory. With the exception of a missing ice bucket (we had the lid), the room was as fully stocked as any other contemporary hotel room you'd find anywhere else in the nation. Why spend more somewhere else? Checking Out My only recommendation is to make every effort to prevent men in golfing togs and pronounced drawls getting in line ahead of you (especially if they're in the sawmill business) because they will delay your departure by 20 minutes as they kibitz with the friendly staff, loudly declaring how much money they make, detailing how much their monthly income surpasses the annual income of their fellow townfolk and generally strutting about acting "all rich and stuff". One solution to this dilemma is of course to nip out onto the nearby "wetlands" boardwalk (ie, swampy-path-to-nowhere), secure some sort of non-venomous-but-nontheless-agitated indigenous wildlife and insert it into the open golfbags in the back of the rich guys' pick-up trucks. Alternately, you can simply stand in line behind them with a fake smile plastered across your face, pondering at how marvelously ridiculous your little planet can be~

The owners are very friendly, attentive and went above and beyond with anything that I needed. The price is very reasonable per night.

By the time we got there, they ran out of biscuits and gravy. I asked if they could bring more out, as our group had 13 people and we all wanted biscuits, they said no they were done. That is why I'm knocking for two stars. I feel that we got shorted food but still paid full price. They should've provided all the food or gave us a discount or alternative. They still had the omelette station thank goodness. The place is beautiful inside and out and is great to walk around.

Both were less than satisfactory, which is a shame because the park itself is beautiful. The furniture in both was dirty and shabby, like discards from a cheap motel. Neither kitchen had enough dishes and silverware for four people and only one had a skillet, and it was filthy. Both houses had bugs. Each porch had only two rocking chairs and in both the screens were sagging and torn. All of the windows were filthy.

Tried to call down to get someone on the phone no answer. And then upon checkout there was a mystery $125 charge, no one knows where it came from and no one knows how to remove it. She said it will fall off in. 3-5 days. "What" a bizz wrongfully and fraudulently charges your card and will not fix it and then when the GM is asked for, she said she would handle it.

Tyler Motos, a Beach Club employee, overheard me explaining the situation and immediately stepped in to help. He took it upon himself to search through an entire cart of dirty towels, as well as every towel bin around the adult pool, because I believed I had accidentally left my phone wrapped inside a towel. Despite simultaneously coordinating with other staff members over his walkie-talkie and helping prepare for an approaching storm, Tyler remained focused, calm, and determined. After 20-30 minutes of searching, he successfully found my phone buried in a pile of towels. Tyler's hard work, kindness, professionalism, ability to multitask, and dedication to helping a guest were truly remarkable. Employees like him make a lasting impression and are a tremendous asset to your team. Thank you, Tyler, for going above and beyond!
