Top Lake Decatur Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Decatur Mt. Zion

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and the bed was comfy. However, the stopper on the bathroom sink did not keep the water from draining out. The toilet paper holder was just hanging to the wall by one screw and there was black mold in the shower. I mentioned this to the front desk clerk when we checked out. She said she would tell maintenance, however she didn't write down our room number."

Homewood Suites by Hilton DecaturForsyth

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great! Breakfast was delicious! Room was spotless! The only negative thing was website said there was a hot tub, but there wasn't one. Would definitely stay here again!!!"

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a wonderful vacation here. Ken and Wendy were attentive communicators from day 1. Anytime time we had a question they had very timely responses both before and during our stay. The house was perfect for our needs. Our group of 13 was very comfortable there. The kitchen was fully stocked with pts and pans, plenty of dishes as well as a large assortment of kids plastic ware. The house was furnished for family fun with TVs pool table and arcade style games. The option to rent the boat allowed us to fully enjoy the lake. The outdoor space was large and accommodating with lovely lake views. Cornhole and the basketball hoop provided lots of fun. The hosts provided many more extras than other places we’ve been. From toiletries, to chargers and an assortment of sunscreens. A margarita mixer, beverage fridge and counter ice maker were great. We can highly recommend this vacation lake house."

Sleep Inn Decatur I-72
