“The Mississippi riverfront glass pyramid that last served as a basketball arena has been refashioned as an immersive Bass Pro Shop, complete with fish- and gator-filled ponds. Overlooking them and the indoor cypress swamp diorama is the rustic-themed, 103-room Big Cypress Lodge.”

Still worth it!

Loved sitting on the interior balcony! Loved the elevator and the bar up top! Enjoyed the room!

Not sure it was worth the money but it was a great experience. The Whalberger restaurant was slammed and the wait staff wasn’t great.

We enjoyed this first time experience and will return for a 2nd in the future.

Breakfast was great at Wahlburgers. People were friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom was great! View from the the top was spectacular.

Food at restaurant at top of pyramid was ok to good. Pricey. Staff was great. TV in room glitched the entire time, possibly signal issues. Noise after shop closed that lasted about 2 hrs.

Immense!! A real treat

The room was incredible, and the amenities in the building were fantastic. Much more than just a hotel

Meal prices in the lookout restaurant were a lot for what you received. Also for the price we paid for the room it would have been good to have breakfast included. Despite this we loved every single minute.

We will be back

It is beautifully decorated and has the rustic feel despite your in the middle of town.

I would have liked to have not seen the neon lights during the night, sitting on balcony, listening to the water, the view of trees, cabins, water, fish and neon lights.

Absolutely beautiful facility

The shuttle service was amazing and we really enjoyed the vallet option as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful! It was nice and clean. We felt at home there. We really enjoyed the balcony and the Bass Pro store is awesome!

The walls are very thin. There was a family next to us with little ones and even with our box fan on, we would hear every noise they made. I was going to ask to be moved to another room; it was that bad; but the family checked out the next morning.One night, there was a terrible sewage smell, don't know what that was about. We wish the terrace would open a little sooner than April, we would have thoroughly enjoyed that. We also found it odd that there was no microwave in the room.

Something different

We had a 4 night stay and stayed and really enjoyed it. We had an internal room overlooking Bass Pro and really enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the rocking chairs, watching the world go by. The rooms, while a little dark, give off a great cabin vibe, and my son and I really enjoyed playing chess out in the area overlooking the lobby while hubby wandered around Bass Pro.

On Saturday evening they polish the floors at the Bass Pro shop. It is extremely loud and went on until about 11pm. The internet was pretty bad and they don't do a daily room clean- you have to request it. For the price they charge, it should be done without having to ask for it.

We have already started telling family and friends that the Big Cypress Lodge is a destination not just a hotel room.

The lodge like atmosphere. The room we stayed in was absolutely gorgeous. I would highly recommend this to others.

My husband and I plan on returning. There was nothing we didn’t like.

Amazing experience looking forward to a return visit.

Breakfast at the on-site restaurant was very good with very generous portions. It would have been nice to have a few complementary choices also. Free access to the Outlook with ability to jump to the front of the line. was much appreciated. Loved the lounge on the 3rd floor.

I was surprised fresh coffee was not easily found on site. Other than on the 3rd floor 6am-11am.

My family had a wonderful time staying with you. It was a wonderful experience and we would love to

I don’t believe they had a continental breakfast and if so I was not informed of one

The beds could have been more comfortable. They were extremely hard

Nice dark quiet room.....and great spacious bathroom nice jacuzzi tub spacious shower great space in room

I didn't like the fact that hotel didn't have swimming area for guests whether inside or out or jacuzzi for guests inside or out those are great things to have when guests are traveling from long trips so because they didn't have a swimming area for guests I think price should have been a little lower for the rooms

A great unique hotel.

Rooms are large and well appointed. Very high end appliances and linens. Free bowling and free express trips to the top of the pyramid. Free shuttle downtown. Mud Island is close by, and it’s a great walking trip.

Breakfast is limited to room service and restaurant inside Bass Pro. Nowhere to get coffee. Bar closes rather early. Nothing in the hotel during the day for food or beverage. The hotel is in a little bit of an isolated area, but they offer a great shuttle to downtown.
