“Very Good State Park In Arkansas”

Degray Lake Resort

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Jacksonville, Florida
Sep 15, 2008

I have just returned from are stay at the DeGray Lake Resort State Park in Arkansas and we Loved it. My GirlFriend and I arrived on Sunday 9/7/08 after a 15 hour drive from Jacksonville, Fl. We arrived about 30 minutes before the park was to close for the night. Unless you had Reservations like we did. We were given the room that we asked for facing the Lake and on the 3rd floor. The room was big for two people sure the tub could have been a little bigger but we made do. The whole Hotel is Smoke Free just like it should be in 2008. We went right to Sleep in are King Size Bed.

The Next Day 9/8/08 we stayed at the Hotel and relaxed we ate Lunch and Dinner the food was a lot like what one would get at a Dennys. And we didn't have to travel far to get it being it was in the Hotel. We noticed the grounds had some damage to it for the week before Hurricane Gustav was in the Arkansas Area. But we were very lucky and are weather was Verry Good with some clouds but no weird weather Thank God!

There was one Problem we had we went out for a day trip to Little rock and being we left early I stopped at the front counter to tell them that are room could be cleaned right away. Well when we returned later that afternoon the Front counter didn't tell house keeping and are room stayed dirty that night. We did get a new towel set sent up by house keeping they did say they could do the room at that point but we were beat. And said the next day would be fine. We picked this Hotel for the Local to everything we wanted to see while in Arkansas and the Price for the room was only $84.00 a day. And we stayed till checkout 9/12/08. Fast food joints were about six miles away from the Resort in which we ate at one night when we just didn't need a full meal.

Overall we relaxed at this resort we didn't go fishing or boating etc etc I used the Pool and Hot Tub while my GirlFriend read, walked and jogged the area of the Park. If we had to give a grade to this State Park it would be an (A) good job everyone at Degrays we will return.

we love this resort , alot to do for families, food was excellent and everything is priced well, staff very helpful, and I would advise to make your reservations early as this resort books up fast in the summer months. We plan to return in July and made our reservations in March when we were there. In the summertime they offer hayrides, horseback riding, boating, hiking, fishing and swimming. Have stayed there numerous times and always felt very safe. Great Place!!!!

We just came back from the Degray lake resort. Its a beautiful place. The location of the lodge is very pretty, the service and promt and polite. Everyone is very friendly.

We had a very good and relaxing stay. We did not get a Lake view room when we arrrived on the Thanksgiving day. The lodge was 100% booked. However the next morning when we requested the front desk we did get to move to a lake view room. ( we had to check out and check back again, but that was ok with us). The facility is well kept, the lobby is great to sit around with a beautiful stone fireplace and the lake view thru' the all glass windows...

There were evening entertainments, like a blue grass concert and squares dances in the convention center, all free. This really helped as we were with 2 kids and it got really cold, and we could not do much ouside.

The rooms are however small in size and could do a little better with some upgrading. The carpet in the room was not all that clean, the coffee maker pretty much outdated and falling apart. The bed linens were very clean but looked very old. The bathrooms are extremely small and the towels were terrible with fluffs coming out and tears here and there. The toilet bowl did not have a cover lid, wheich did not help at all since there is almost no moving space in the bathroom. I kept feeling that I will drop things in the toilet bowl.

Nothing much can be done with the size of the rooms, but with a little better qualtiy in the above mentioned things would really raise this facility to a true resort quality. In such a pretty place it does not feel good compromising on the little things.

Everything else was excellent and we did have a beautiful stay and yes we would go back there again.
