Property was great. No coffee cups, so unable to enjoy or make coffee. Wish that we would be able to use the kitchen that was attached to our room. No restaurant around the area.

The beds were clean or I would have left. They only had one curtain panel on each window so you could see in our room from outside. There was no drain cover...just a hole that exposed the drain pipe which had green corrosion. There was pieces of the old non skid stickers stuck to bottom of tub. The towels were colored towels but were stained. And the coffee pot still had the old coffee ground bad in the pot Nd it had mold growing on it...the unit itseld was not wiped down outside either. My daughter stayed next door to me and her coffee pot was the same...yuck. I have pictures of everything.

The property displayed broken windows in multiple buildings. My building. Cottage 2A. A window was broken. The electrical outlet for the night stand did not work. The plug cover for the air conditioner was broken and most was missing. The room itself smelled strongly of mildew or mold. Shower and faucet was loose in the wall. Would not give the accommodations a 1 star rating.

Okay for a night
The name, “Columbia Lake Resort Cottages” makes it sound like your staying at a very fancy place, kind of deceiving. The cottages are a quadruplex from A-D, rooms A & B in the front and C & D in the back. No great shakes. The “cottage” we stayed in had 2 queen beds, TV, microwave, and a small fridge with freezer. The shower curtain had some mold spots. The finial on the bed came off. Overall, it’s okay for a night. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

Not a place to stay
Didn't check in. Parents checked in but b/c of the conditions of the property, very poor lighting in their room and the fact the pool had not opened for the year, they booked other rooms at other hotel. Also, when checking in to their the A/C was broken in the lobby area. The gentleman that checked them in was very nice and helpful.

Website says pool & restaurant, the entire reason we choose this location. The restaurant is abandoned, the pool is green and told its not open til after Memorial Day, would have stayed close to our destination if we had known. Add in NO HOT Water, cigarette burns in bedding, not a chair to sit and put shoes on and water dripping all night from shower, not a good experience at all… we stayed the previous night at a budget motel that was much better

The few times I have stayed the experience was wonderful until this last time. I went online and made the reservation, once I got there I was shocked that there were additional fees I had to pay one being because I was checking in after 7 pm I mean really I have to pay 20 because of the time wow.. so in the end I paid double what I thought I was going to pay then the curtains didn’t fit the window so there was no way to keep someone from looking in because clearly they were to small .

The pictures for this location look NOTHING like the resort I stayed in. The lighting was so bad I really couldn't see anything. Light outside the cottage didn't work, I had to use light on my phone to see to get from my car to the door. Towel bar was falling out of the wall. Floor was dirty. Only good thing was the bed and pillows...amazing considering the condition of everything else. Water dripped all night in lavatory. I had to request a heater for my room. I guess for the price, I shouldn't have expected more.

Facility is very dated. Beds were squeaky/noisy. When choos No a cottage, I expected a cottage, not just a bedroom. The adjoining cottage had the living room. Insulation between that wall was insufficient to muffle the sounds of the guests argument.

Great! Can’t wait to go back
Great two night stay. Will definitely make this my go to when I come to visit family. It’s older, and has a musty smell when you first walk in but once you turn the AC on it’s fine. My boys ages 4 and 11 loved it because they were able to fish. It was quiet all during the day and night. Parking is right next to your room. Cleaning services made the beds, provided extra towels, sweep the floors, took out the trash while we were gone. My recent stays at a more expensive hotel didn’t even provide cleaning services and it was a longer stay. The check in lady was awesome and very friendly!

Dirty, musty, roaches, and mouse droppings
The cottage we stayed in for one night(10A) had poor lighting and needed a thorough deep cleaning. There was a musty odor and the carpet, bathroom, and fixtures appeared old and very worn. We saw a few roaches running around during the night. The scenery is nice and we decided on our next trip to book rooms at the two story hotel pictured in online ads. That hotel was totally vacant and the rooms we were given were actually two of the cottages (31? A and B). These rooms were even worse. They were dirty, the water from the faucets had rust visible, the towels were old and stained, old food was in the microwave, roaches were in both rooms and one room had mice droppings all around the sink area. We left and found another hotel. The manager was nice and was apologetic but the place itself dirty and I would not recommend this place.

The front desk staff was helpful for check in. When we for to the room, the television wasnt even connected. No Wifi. Cell service was sketchy. Calling this place a "resort hotel" was misleading at best. Its a shame too, because Columbia Lakes was a phenomenal property 25 years ago.

I grew up in the area not far from Columbia Lakes, and I love how quiet and beautiful it is. However, our room didn't seem to have been thoroughly cleaned? At least it didn't seem that the bed sheets had been changed? I found several hairs in the bed sheets. It is possible those did stick during the cleaning process. Other than that, it would have been nice to have a coffee pot with coffee and condiments in the room? Otherwise, all in all a great stay!

Beautiful grounds, terrible cottage
I came for a funeral. Attended the prefuneral viewing, went to Columbia Lakes to check in. Doors were locked at reception, finally someone came, said no one else was checking in that night. I said I WAS, had Expedia Reservation. Argued with me, then could not find me in the system. Fifteen minutes later, FOUND my reservation. Another fifteen minutes of blaming computer, system, other staff, "gave" me a cottage just refurbished and in wonderful condition. Went in and looked great: huge living room/kitchen separate bedroom with two big beds. No a/c turned on prior to arrival in this huge place (this is TEXAS), dead giant roaches in several places, paint scraped on baseboards that were broken, just painted over instead of replaced; bathtub missing drain pieces! putty blobs on soap dish, tub stained, awful; lid on back of commode did not fit or match. Dead bug behind commode. One curtain on curtain by one bed hanging from curtain rod that was hanging by one side, other side broken. I have more complaints backed up by photographs. I was very very very upset.
