The Guest Lodge Gainesville

Courtyard by Marriott Gainesville GA
The bed is not comfortable. The only reason I gave it 4 stars. Oh, and also, the shower needs a door - it gets so cold with only the one side glass.

LAKE LANIER CASTLE..YOUR OWN PRIVATE RESORT. BOATS, JETSKIS. PICKLEBALL, POOL
We had a great stay! As a big family with wide ranging ages, it’s difficult to find a place to accommodate all of us. My children found this and we had a weekend to celebrate my 80th birthday. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty to do without leaving the property.
