Union City Vacation Packages

I had a very nice room up on the 11th floor where I was able to get a panoramic view of the city. The desk person who managed to place me there was a desk clerk named Joy, a charming person with an appropriate name. The room was beautiful with de rigueur fittings. The coffee pot was confusing to use, and I needed help getting it going. The TV too. I had thought of using room service, but with all the incomprehensible fees and add-ons I found I would be paying $50-plus dollars for two eggs, toast, and orange juice. An excessive amount I thought...Better to go to Flying Biscuit. I went to the dining room instead the next day. Breakfast there remained cheaper, but still expensive. I ate there 3 times during my stay, but frankly, I found the food preparations not up to snuff. Just not very good given the price -- and I think the George kitchen staff needs to up their game. I also had an unpleasant encounter with one of your staff upon returning to the hotel one night in the Foyer at a moment characterized by utter pandemonium. I found him to be hyper-sensitive and disrespectful. I will not mention the name of the person, but I'll bet he remembers me. He needs a bit of P.R. training.

The property is beautiful and has a lot of untapped potential. However, the website is very deceiving. There are 3 lakes with fishing, paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking available. There is archery and shooting for an extra cost. However, horseback riding and ATV's are no longer available (apparently for years), although the website still mentions both. The restaurant was closed as there is no chef at this time and staff had no idea when it would reopen. The only place to eat was the little store with coffee, snacks, and a few refrigerated sandwiches, but no breakfast or dinners as per the website. There is also a limited pool-side menu. We had to drive to Serenby to eat, which was quite an inconvenience. Staff were super friendly and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. As a make up for not having a restaurant, we were given a complementary golf cart for a day. The room and bathroom were very spacious and clean, but we did not get any room service during our stay. The buildings could really use some paint as the lakeside side of the cottages/hotel has peeling paint and the screened-in porches have lots of broken parts. Overall, we enjoyed the outdoors with hiking and lake activities. However, you can't call something a RESORT without having full service, all the resort amenities, and a restaurant. Also, the website needs to be updated to reflect the current state of the property. Not exactly the pampered weekend we were expecting.

Great location, 20 minutes away from the city. The description of the property actually is an undersell. Great value.

Nice property the only downside was the parking

Beautiful gem in the gates of Big Canoe. Feels like a summer camp for adults!
