The kids loved the pool You can also walk to the splash nearby. Now the reason I didn't give it 5stars #1 One of the workers weren't friendly or welcoming, my grandson mentioned it to me several times. #2 Our room floor wasn't vacuumed well before we arrived. #3. We couldn't enjoy sitting outside on balcony There were Spiders webs and SPIDERS everywhere #4 The buffet food wasn't hot! Other than that it was a good stay

11 Stars to all the staff. I can't say enough about everyone who I interacted with at this place!…read moreFrom the front desk, to people helping with an event, to the team at the front door of the hotel, to the restaurant staff, and finally Kailan in the coffee shop who made my delicious hot mocha every morning... everyone was a pure delight! So why 4 stars? It all comes down to the pillows... I wish hotels would get this. But if I'm not getting a good night's sleep in a hotel, I really can't give it 4 stars. Everything else in the room was great, especially the bar soap here! I'd buy it for home if I could. The decor was awesome. The theme of music resonates through the halls and rooms and even the cool guitar shaped sinks in the public rest rooms. I read a bit about the history of the area and things about Elvis, The Rolling Stones, and a few other bands... Juggalos may be disappointed as I didn't see any of their fans or Faygo Pop anywhere. I must have been on the VIP list as my room was upgraded and I had a bonus room where I could have had some parties or meetings or party meetings (I like combining them). Sadly, I wasn't prepared and just sat in there by myself for a while feeling good about myself. If you're here for a conference, please understand there will be quite the walk to the conference center. I was there in the heat so I opted to drive to the conference area so I wouldn't get all sweaty... I saved that for after! There are some cool views of the dam and the surrounding areas, so make sure you head to the tower and check it out. But if you've heard about southern hospitality, this resort hit all the marks for sure! Thanks to whoever is responsible for the mentality of the staff here. Excellent Excellent Excellent!

Firstly, this place is laidback and the hosts are great. We rented a king bed cabin which is…read moresmall, but quaint. Very clean which is exactly what you want. Repairs to the front steps (boards need replaced for safety) and better blinds covering front windows are necessary. The bathroom is super tiny and the vanity should be replaced. It's beat up and doors are just for ascetic purposes. Not any storage space for your personal stuff. Lastly, the noise. The cabin we rented is very close to the highway. This isn't mentioned in the description. If you do decide to rent, call them directly and ask for a cabin in the back of the property. It's pricey in my opinion considering the issues I listed here. We stayed in late February.

Southall has built a luxury destination, but it hasn't yet created a consistently luxury…read moreexperience. Today's traveler doesn't define luxury by exclusivity alone. Beautiful architecture, thoughtful landscaping, and premium amenities may attract people initially, but they aren't what create lasting loyalty. Modern luxury is about how a place makes you feel through thoughtful hospitality, meaningful experiences, and the sense that what you just experienced couldn't have been replicated elsewhere. That was the disconnect I felt. I booked a private sound bath for a group because Southall seemed like the perfect setting for my birthday. Visually, the property exceeds expectations. Every building, pathway, and landscape feels intentional, and it's clear an incredible amount of care and investment went into creating such a beautiful environment. Many members of the team reflected a high level of hospitality. The valet staff and front desk team were consistently warm and professional, and the gentleman overseeing the mineral pool left a lasting impression simply by remembering my name after a brief interaction. Those moments felt personal and thoughtful, and they are exactly what luxury hospitality should feel like. The setting itself is also undeniably exceptional. Southall has created an environment that feels immersive, intentional, and visually refined at every turn. Unfortunately, the central experience we came for did not reflect the same standard. Before the session even began, a staff member assumed I was pregnant and told me I couldn't use the sauna or steam room. While I'm sure no harm was intended, comments like that can be deeply personal, and luxury hospitality should never make assumptions about a guest's body or medical history. The sound bath itself also fell short of expectations. The soundbath practitioner was warm and welcoming, and I genuinely enjoyed the portion she led. My concern wasn't with her, but with how the experience was structured. A significant portion of our scheduled hour was reserved for tea and group reflection rather than the sound bath itself. The environment also worked against the experience. Conversations from the hallway were frequently audible throughout the session, making it difficult to stay fully immersed in what should have been one of the most restorative parts of the day. Even smaller operational details reflected a lack of polish. At the bar, our group ordered several cocktails together under one ticket. By the time the last drinks were served, the ice in the first cocktails had already melted noticeably. In a truly luxury environment, there is an expectation of pride in craft at every level, often including remaking a drink rather than allowing it to degrade before it reaches the guest. It's a small detail, but luxury hospitality is built on getting the small things right. What disappointed me most is that I left feeling I could have booked a sound bath with a local wellness studio, had a deeper and more meaningful experience, and spent a fraction of the cost. Southall offered the more beautiful setting, but not the more memorable experience. I share this because I genuinely believe Southall has the foundation to become exceptional. The property is extraordinary, and many members of the team clearly care deeply about their guests. My hope is that the same level of intention evident in the architecture and landscape will eventually extend into every layer of the guest experience. When that alignment happens, Southall will be a destination.

What a nice surprise for an older Hampton was completely recently remodeled and finished so…read moredefinitely a perfect start to yet another Hampton Inn. I predominately stay at Hampton and they vary quite a lot around the country. And yes, there are such a range, but most all fit a Hilton standard that I found comfortable with traveling as much as I do. The staff was very sharp, Carol is the one who checked me in, was very detailed on locations of breakfast coffee bar, etc. as their layout was limited yet the new design made this older building stand out very well. Elevator is right there next to the entry and new carpet everywhere paint and bright art on the walls made this a 2023 hotel that is certainly probably seen many years of use in a unique location very much in need of a hotel like this. The bedroom was clean and fresh, bathroom was impeccable, the beds are my reason for staying at the Hampton Inn, and were extremely comfortable, air conditioning, worked well, and Internet was standard. Everything I'm looking for. This is a very off the road location for me on business but glad I found it and highly recommend it not only to business travelers that service, local industries, but visitors to the lake looking for a nice hotel. Highly recommend.!!!

They had a king size bed on the first floor so it sounded good. Beautiful area with a nearby lake staying on land that was part of history. Once we made it to the room, the key card didn't work. So I went back and the friendly clerk made another. This one worked. We rolled the luggage cart into the room and oops, I see luggage on the 2 double beds and someone was in the bathroom! I backed us quickly out of the room and back to the desk we went. (Glad it wasn't someone brandishing a firearm and declaring us as violating his space!) The correct room was 106 and not 108. Easy mistake, but might not have ended well. This hotel, 27 years old, is exceptionally well maintained. No fridge or microwave in rooms and not much of a TV, but we were just there for the night. The bed was amazing. The A/C was a little anemic, but it did get the room cool. The breakfast was absolutely amazing! Great cheese omelets! It is somewhat off the path, but close to a few restaurants/grills.

Catfish exists in a flavorless world where even a dash of salt or scintilla of cayenne is too much to ask. Simply toss un-molested, unsalted, unloved catfish fillets in virgin cornmeal and fry in the blandest oil discovered by man (probably canola), and serve with the saddest excuse for tarter sauce ever attempted (probably miracle whip passed by a teaspoonful of sweet relish and two cups of white sugar). Steamed broccoli was inoffensive, chicken fingers were slightly more successful than catfish, sweet potato fries were duller than a Presbyterian picnic.
