[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We go most summers, including this one, and my kids (elementary age) really like it, especially the kids club and the pool.  I'm a nostalgic / historical property nerd and I love the vibe (and the decor) though agree that it could stand for a (historically respectful) refurb especially of things like the bathrooms/plumbing.

I find the food to be good (and not gross/southern as mentioned upthread- I suppose you can find those things, but also lighter items), but it is quite expensive and the portions are huge - which is annoying when you're staying there and likely eating out most nights.  I wish they'd right-size the portions and prices a bit considering that people likely aren't planning to take home half of their meal when staying on property.

Given the size of the pool (relatively small), I think the reservations are a good idea so that everyone gets a chance for pool time.  Either that or they need to be more aggressive about enforcing clearing chairs/saving seats. And you definitely don't need to take the shuttle to the pool - it's like a 5 minute walk.  I've walked farther in sprawling tropical resorts.

We like it as an easy-drive nearby destination with some charm and tradition for our family, but I'd agree it's probably not for everyone.[/quote]
Curious what you budget for a day at the Greenbrier?
