Top Northeast Georgia Hotel Reviews

Lake Chatuge Lodge

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but the bathroom is in need of a rehab. Looks to be all original fixtures and tile. Really showing its age. On our last night there, I ask at the front desk how much they would charge me for their cheap little plastic ice bucket. I needed to transport a few things ho.e that needed to be kept cold and did not have a cooler with me. I didn't want to just take it so I asked. The evening desk worker had no idea and called assistant manager who also couldn't answer and said they would need to check with the manager. We left at 7 AM the next morning without ever receiving an answer so I had to make due with some small bags with ice in them. I'm sure that if I would have stolen the bucket they would have come up with a cost quickly to charge my account! Over all the lodge was very quiet but the whole building is in need of updates."
