Rooms were ok, but I am handicapped and they put me on the second floor....and there are no elevators. When I asked about a ground room floor, I was told they were booked. Seriously??? There were like five cars in the parking lot. If we checked in late, I could understand, but it was 4:00. Couldn't a room be switched?... More

We just spent a night at the Rend Lake Resort. We stayed in the Boatel, the hotel that is just near the water. We had two upper floor rooms which are comprised of a first floor with pull out couch, TV, bathroom and balcony and then a second floor loft with a queen sized bed, TV and one side table... More

We were booked into a handicap room in their Flagship Building. The room was clean and provided an excellent view of the lake as well as a spectacular view of a lightning storm. Parking was very close by and the room had a good accessible shower and a separate toilet area with a sliding door. Our booking was through a... More

The front desk person was more than helpful. However the bed was lumpy and swaybacked. I love my wife but don't want her sleeping on top of me. Time to buy new mattresses! Slight cigarette smoke smell. Room lacked a comfortable chair.

The room was really bad. there were hundreds of dead bugs on the window sills. Moldy coffee maker, no shampoo/conditioner, smelly, etc. Not anywhere near the price they charge. I would not recommend this for any traveler. Very disappointed!

Stayed over Labor Day Weekend in a Flagship room. Room was clean. Had a little rain this weekend, but Melissa, who was working at the front desk, went out of her way to give us a list of things to keep us busy, she was very helpful. Maybe the word Resort should be taken out of the name, because a... More

The person who called this place a dump was being kind. I really dislike awarding this place one out of five circles, because it deserves a ZERO or a negative 5 circles. This is the worst stinking place I've stayed at 30 years past college when I stayed at Motel Six, which would be an improvement over this disaster! They... More

We stayed only 1 night, but we were charged twice. We paid cash. The next day and several hours later, we found out that they also charged my credit card for the same amount -the same day. We called and complained, but they said they did not charge my card. I emailed them the proof from the credit card and... More

The rooms in the Flagship were updated but still filthy. Our coffee maker had mold growing in it. The balcony had 2 plastic chairs that didn't even match and a beer car filled with someone else's used chewing tobacco. The grounds of the boatel were also poor. All of the railing were all chipped of paint and there were birds... More

I was afraid when I saw some of the reviews, but it was a close weekend trip. I was impressed, we had a great time. The rooms were updated, clean, and roomy with refrigerator and flat sreen tv. We stayed in the Schooner and the Flagship. The pool, general store and restaurant were convenient to our boatels. The grounds were... More
