I've really had much better stays there in the past, but never with a group reservation. Then again I normally straight fish and wouldn't really complain unless I had to share a bed with rats and there was a hole in the roof. It takes a lot to tee me off when it comes to lodging. I stayed at a hotel last year, on a fishing trip to pickwick, and inside my room someone had spray painted on the walls "hey f---- you" over an over. I thought it was kinda funny and quaint for 35 bucks.

I don't think we need to pile on and get her fired or anything. It was bad, the reservations were messed up, the CC situation was messed up, Johns cabin was not clean...but we shouldnt take out our frustrations from the weak fishing all on the front desk girl. I've been in that position before, where you have to put a smiley face on a turd sandwich, its not fun for the person at the desk. Sometimes you are stuck. Either she didn't know how to credit my card or she didn't care or for some reason wasn't authorized by a boss to do so...I reckon its a cross between all 3, maybe the first and the last one mostly. She also might not have been properly trained in such things, could be somebody's grandmother who just needed a job and thats where she is.

not gonna raze the desk clerk buddy.planning on razing the STATE in the way they treat their parks. i may be wrong in saying this, but in my opion the best way to generate money for your state is through TOURISM. visitors spend millions of dollars each year visiting other places, ALABAMA has some of the best fishing waters in the country. if the STATE would put a little money into the park system and upgrade them there is no telling how much moeny they would make.

here is another thing that has me wondering WTF? now i know that birmingham is the largest city in the state, but why in the world is there not a BPS, CABALAS or some other retailer geared towards the outdoors on LAKE GUNTERSVILLE? why drive 2-2 12 hours to shop for baits? this is astounding in my opion. there is a BPS in SPAINISH FORT, AL. which is right on the coast of MOBILE BAY. close enough for salt and freshwater fishermen. now like i said, i know there are lakes close to birmingham, lay lake is one that comes directly to mind. but not on guntersville lake? DOH!

but still, getting back to my original thought. the state NEEDS to upgrade their park system from top to bottom. it would greatly improve attendance to the parks.

Yea, but with what money? Like pretty much every other state, we are broke. Upgrading the state park into 5 star resorts is not an investment. They are probably closer to being closed than upgraded.
