We have stayed at Amicalola Lodge 10 times now. The room is nice, and the staff is sweet. We stayed over Thanksgiving this year and they were extremely unprepared. The lounge downstairs used to have a bar open, with cheese and fruit and chairs. Not this year. This year we had to ask them to open a conference room because there was nowhere to sit. I dragged out chairs for elderly people and children to sit by the fire and TV. The outside fireplace wasn't working. The restaurant was running 1.5 hours behind on reservations. I understood that 2 big families came in and disrupted the flow. I didn't mind waiting, but some organization and forethought would of made it SO much better. The poor hostesses were just scribbling names on a paper?!? I made my reservation in August for 4 people. For the people actually staying there you could have coffee downstairs and muffins in the morning. Open the bar back up. Open the conference rooms with card games, dominoes, child craft area. The printed coloring pages was the only effort made. If you want to turn over the tables in the dining room faster perhaps have the dessert and coffee downstairs in the conference room-so people don't linger at the tables after dinner eating dessert and drinking coffee We live an hour away, and I have recommended staying there and enjoying Thanksgiving in the past, but after this year we will stick to coming up a different time of year.

The room was dusty and the shower curtain has a lot of mold. I think they could do better for what they charge.

Upon arrival the bed did not have a fitted sheet. The staff was helpful and gave us a fitted sheet. When we went to put the sheet on the bed we noticed the mattress cover had a terrible coffee stain on it at the side of the head of bed. The staff was notified and she quickly transferred us to another room. In the new room the cover over the bedframe was not right. The shower wall was cracked and the sink drain was broken in half. In the hallway we noticed silverware and napkins lying on the floor for a couple days before the silverware was gone and napkin left. It’s a beautiful lodge but it’s getting older and is needing renovated. This is our third visit to this lodge and it has gone done so much since 2022.

This lodge is beautiful. The view from our room was amazing. We were very comfortable in our spacious room and everything expected was there. The staff was helpful and courteous. Sunset views are amazing. We ate at the lodge and were disappointed in that offering.
