Mclouds restaurant & resort
« on: July 05, 2011, 09:40:08 PM »
My wife & I planned a trip 07/03/11 & included dinner at Mclouds restaurant in Lafollette,TN.( www.mtcloud.com ) We made reservations & on our way checking in we stopped at the security checkpoint. It was at this point we were informed that motorcyclists are frowned upon & not welcome at there gated resort! I've stayed in multi-million dollar golf resorts allover the country & always welcomed graciously on our HD. I just wanted to give the motorcycling community a heads up & be sure & drop these backwoods hillbillys a piece of your mind just as I have.

Just checked the property's website.  They don't like bikes but they've got a helo landing pad.  Like rotary wing doesn't make any noise....

Motorcycles are welcomed,  but with a reservation only.   Our roads are not county roads, but private

As my wife and I have family in the area we are aware of the development and would come to the restaurant with them during visits. However if this (below) is the policy, I am no longer interested. (BTW, We travel in the Lexus, I use the bike alone...)

I guess if you purchased one of their 160K lots and they found out you rode a motorcycle, they'd not let you either build or enter the place on your bike...

Actually, I've run into this a time or two traveling in the Florida Panhandle when trying to stay in a nicer type hotel/motel.  I told them to go F themselves and I'd take my 40K bike and money elsewhere if they didn't like it.

Don't plan on going to Kiawah Island, SC either. They don't allow motorcycles there either!

I like how Fattbaggernknox doesn't just quietly walk away from this. It seems like that is what people who provide bad service hope you'll do. They can't handle a confrontation demanding they do the right thing by people.

I bet nice E-mails by a couple hundred interested couples requesting $1.00 to $2.00 worth of flyers mailed to their addresses can be more annoying than motorcycles.  :nervous: :2vrolijk_21: :nervous:
