We stayed here many times when it was Inlet Sports Lodge. They no longer serve free breakfast and it’s not as super clean as it used to be. Lobby smells a bit like cigars. Still very nice room and comfortable. Also a great location. Not sure why but the place was empty.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights with our 12 and 8 year old daughters for the older’s softball tournament at the South Strand Red Center. Willow Lodge was fantastic! So much nicer than the “average” hotel! Parking was easy, the room was lovely (full refrigerator, microwave, small stovetop range and dishwasher with sink), and they had 2 washers and dryers on our floor that came included with the room (so no quarters). It was quiet and quaint and the front desk and cleaning staff were extremely sweet & helpful. This place is truly a hidden gem in the area. We will definitely stay again!!!

This was a great place for our girl’s trip weekend. Close proximity to so many of the area’s favorite restaurants, beaches and shopping. The staff was so kind and courteous. We will be returning and recommending Willow Lodge to family and friends.

This was a great stay. Good storage space for clothes and toiletries, plenty of hanging spaces in the bathroom for towels, extra towels in the room - all little things that just don’t happen in a lot of other places. I would absolutely stay here again.
