The property was lovely. The grounds were beautiful to walk and the pool had a Great Lake view. The Inn is class old Florida and felt like stepping back in time. Unfortunately the room was very very old and dated. Felt cheap and rundown. The ice machine was broken and the bed was very uncomfortable. The property could use a good update and cleaning. Parking was very limited to a small area that wasn’t covered or shaded in most areas. Staff was lovely and the atmosphere was great. Walkable to the whole town. Very convenient.

Not what I was hoping for especially for the price

If your expecting a normal hotel room then this is not it. Our room was run down and was in need of a serious upgrade!! I would have giving this hotel a 1 star but the bed was actually comfortable. Other than that the room was a dump! Very disappointed. We went with 13 other friends and they all felt the same. The pool was filthy with bugs and grass. Ice machines were either broke or totally out.

Nostalgia not Comfort.

The hotel dates back to 1883 and there is only so much that can be upgraded. The floor above us squeak with every step of our neighbor. The ice maker was out of order and looking at the sign it had been. There are no refrigerators in the room. There were three sets of landings/stairs to reach the room. I respect the history and if you're into nostalgia this may be the place for you. BTW, breakfast was very good as well as the service in the bar.
