text: If you stay in this country club spalike hotel request a golf view otherwise you will be staring at the parking lot and CVS across the street The room I stayed it was niceyou felt like you were in a room in your grandmothers house provided your grandmother liked touches of southern charm and wallpaper I would not call it luxury but it was comfortable clean sunny and the room service was reasonable and attentive Everyone working there seemed helpful and friendly and having a glass of wine and a flatbread on the terrace in the evening was relaxing and quiet nnOverall Ballantyne might be the kind of place that Clooney might have stayed in for Up in the Air given its convention golfer group vibe Maybe I am just not up on how it works for people in the south There is not many appealing places to eat nearby but chances are you will not be staying here long
