    Walnut Creek Resort & Marina

    I am just tickled to death with this place and am definitely a fan. My only wish is that they would…read moresell beer in the store (okay, beer coolers). If they sold Smirnoff coolers, I'd give it the 5th star and I might never come home. We weren't familiar with this side of the lake when we bought a boat from the owner of Walnut Creek. We'd only really been to Highport and Soldier's Creek and usually frequented Highport. We arranged a month to stay at Walnut Creek to get to know the area and see how we like it. We really, really like it and have decided to stay. This is not a big marina and it doesn't have a lot of amenities but the things you need they do really well. In order of importance to us: 1. The owner and the owner's family are great, straight forward folks. There is just something about Dale (the owner) and his son-in-law that inspires trust and Dale is a pleasant, hands on owner that comes by and says hello and checks on his slip renters to make sure everything is okay and that they are happy. He is not out just to make a buck, which is really refreshing. He has stuff he can sell you if you are in the market for it but he is not going to sell you something you didn't need or want. 2. There is a mechanic close by, Murry? Murray? who was also part owner of our boat when we bought it. He's been great. We developed a problem when we got down to old gas still in the boat and we thought that we would have to have the whole system drained and he said, no, we just needed a fuel separater. He came down and installed it for us at no cost. He doesn't work on jet skis, which is a bummer, but he's great to have around for the boat. People tell me that he regularly helps out folks with things like the separator because he wants people to remember him when it comes time to get a bottom job on their boat. Works for me. 3. The crowd is mostly grown ups. There are some kids that play loud music but you get that everywhere, and a lot more in some places. Dale is good about shutting it down if it goes on to too late into the night. We love the people in our boathouse. They are around our age (40 's) and have grown or almost grown families. Several live close by and most of us are down at the boathouse pretty much every weekend. 4. Location on the lake - This marina is not too far from the islands and doesn't have that chop that you get in the channel in front of Highport. There is one other marina that we looked at very seriously that is closer to the islands and has very deep water. Walnut Creek is not far though and its practically in its own little bay so the water is much calmer than the rest of the lake. From the open water, you can't really see Walnut Creek ... the shoreline has an illusory effect of being continuous when, in reality, there is a bay there ... so, even with the gas docks, there is not a lot of raucous lake traffic coming in. 5. Bathrooms - the bathroom located at the marina store is the cleanest public bathroom I've ever seen. You have to get a key from the store to use it so it is only available from around 6 AM to about 5 PM. The bathroom is a big deal to me when staying on the boat over the weekend. That may be a girl thing, but it is really, really big in my book. 6. Showers - I think the showers are an on-demand system. They are always warm immediately (that's a good thing). It costs 4 quarters for 4 minutes and that is plenty for a man. It would be perfect for me to if I didn't shave my legs. Still, I am happy with the showers. I don't like the toilets in the camp restrooms though - no lids and the sink is difficult to use and runs non-potable water. I avoid the sink in there for brushing my teeth. The light is on a timer so it can seem dark in there in the daytime because the light isn't on. 7. Wi-fi - They have good wi-fi. It's $6 something for 24 hours but the speed puts our home connection to shame. Lightning fast. 8. Distance from metroplex - It takes us an hour and twenty minutes to get the Walnut Creek from McKinney (75 to 82 to 901). This is pretty much the same time it took us to get Pottsboro and the drive is very pretty. This is a good, basic marina. They have cute cabins and a nice campground area where campers can pull their boat up to the shore (and because of the calm water, no waves to rock the boat up against it). They have a decent boat ramp that can handle two launches at a time but there's rarely any kind of a back up ($4 to launch). There is no restaurant but then we have a grill and a boat. Plenty of other marinas have restaurants and courtesy docks so we can either grill out or boat out to one of the restaurants on the lake. I wish that they had a courtesy dock for visiting boat friends but then we'll probably be meeting out on the islands anyway.

    First off you can't believe everything you read. Secondly I am a very picky person when it comes to…read morewhere I lay my head, and to my surprise this hotel passed my expectations. The front desk staff has been very nice, not rude like some of the previous reviews.The room were very clean. The only one complaint I have is the tub wasn't clean to my liking, but I can take care of that . However, because everything was else clean, and because of the courteous staff I overlooked it. No hotel has been A1 , not even some of the best hotels by ratings I stayed in. See for yourself, and you be the judge. So far no complaints, keeping my fingers crossed

    Every where we checked the better hotels and motels were booked! We saw this place and decided to…read morestop and just see if they had a room. I walked into the reception area and it was noticably hot! But a lady came out and I asked her if she had a room for the night with a king bed. She did!!! We weren't sure what to expect, but we were beat being on the road all day. We got a room with two king beds. It was very plain, but it was a place to sleep. My wife checked under the mattress for bed bugs and there were none! Another plus!!! There were cups and an ice bucket in the room so I took the ice bucket down to the ice machine I saw to get ice and low and behold the ice machine did not work. The TV had a remote, but the remote didn't work and you had to change volume and channels with the buttons located under the TV screen!!! But we didn't leave it on long as we were beat. There was no soap bars or shampoo in the bath area or sink area, just dispensers like you would find at a service station to dispense liquid soap and conditioner. I turned on the A/C and it came on and started cooling, but when the compressor kicked in it made a horrible grinding noise!! The wife fell asleep quick like she normally does and I was tired but everytime that compressor kicked in it would rattle me awake until exhaustion took over and I finally just passed out!! Woke up the next morning and it had gotten a lot quieter. It was almost like someone had got something Ina fan that finally just wore out. I usually don't give anything less than four stars, but in this case two was all I could muster. If your just dead and need a place to lay your head this will get you by, bit just don't expect quality!!

The bed was comfy and there's a single barn door that tolls to cover both the closet and bathroom. There's no fan noise in bathroom so you will hear everything that's happening in there, which might be uncomfortable. We had a mostly positive experience, however, a few negatives. If you have chemical sensitivities, steer clear of this spot. Air quality in the room was fine, but the common areas were INTENSE. We were in the midst of a 2 day trip with refrigerated items, we made sure when reserving that there was a fridge in the room. The mini fridge in our room was not even slightly cold. I asked the staff member at the desk about this and he said it may be frozen up, unplug it for a few hours and then turn it back on. I said, but i have things that need to be cold. He did not have a solution for that, which I think was not the best customer service. My solution was to fill bags with ice from machine to put on food. They do allow pets which was a bonus for us.

In this case we were the only customers in the restaurant. My husband said she probably doesn't have proper training and or that's how this younger generation are, always on their phone. I had to ask her for silver wear for my husband. I had to ask her to remove the dirty plates for the other meal that was coming. I had to get up to go get some ketchup. She never bothered to ask is there anything else you need or how is everything. sadly, I e been a waitress and I e always tipped well. But I allowed my husband to tip which he didn't want to leave her anything. Had she showed any attentiveness and waited on us properly. She would have received 15-20% tip. We decided never to eat there again due to her lack of service.

It was my second time but my husbands first time. We checked in at the spa tower. Valet was included in our resort fee of 19.99 per day. Check in was easy and we went to get our casino cards. We walked around about 4 hours, even tho our room was ready when we arrived. Dropped our bags and left. We were on the 9th floor. Nice room and decent view. The casino is gigantic! So many games, slots and table games. There is a movie theater , concert venue, bowling alley, arcade, several restaurants and bars and a food court. We didn't make it to the pool but got wristbands in case we had time. Only there for 1 night. Casino: slots were tight but I played for most of the night on various blackjack and roulette games. My winnings were steady. There are plenty of machines. The only negative is while you are playing, bar service is pretty much nonexistent. I saw waitresses walking around the tables but not once at the machines and we were all over. Get your own drinks at a bar or cart before sitting or prepare to get up to get them. Food: we ate at Smashburger for lunch. I really enjoyed my burger and fries. They were smash fries with a nice sauce on them and truffle oil. The burger was flavorful. I got a caramel Cinnabon. Another great treat. For dinner we went to the seafood buffet. It was 55.00 each and we were excited. Every.single.thing was overcooked. Fried fish, shrimp, chicken and snow crabs, all overcooked so hard I couldn't finish one bite of any of them. That bad. The etouffee was good but the rice was crispy. I immediately called for the manager. She apologized profusely and offered a full refund. Yeah we couldn't eat there. Great service and I hope they took the feedback and made changes. Finally, I ate velvet taco and hubby had chicken strips from the hot chicken place , good late night eats on both fronts. Checkout time on Sunday arrived too fast but we got packed up to hit the road and got our free soft drinks to go. Got the valet validated and on our way. Excellent stay and we will go back. You do not have to leave once you get there.
