Housekeeping staff is not very functional in cleaning rooms. The management and manager is defensive in protecting staff rather than satisfying guest needs. My room was not cleaned after requesting cleaning. Had another guest -f Florence with same issue that day with room not cleaned.

Being placed in the room next to the old and noisy ice machine really seemed unnecessary since the hotel was not full. It’s an old hotel with a great location it getting luggage to your room is a challenge.

Beautiful view of the lake. The inn is very well kept up. Some of the rooms are in different buildings, so if you have a group keep that in mind. It's a bit awkward for seniors due to stairs and no elevator. We enjoyed our stay and used Uber to and from MCO. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

This place needs a real update. The furniture in our room had termites. The place needs a scrub down. I understand it's an old hotel, but you could hear absolutely everything in everyone's room, plus the hall. Terrible. The complimentary coffee was brown water. We were in room 511 in the Terrace building. Not sure changing rooms would have helped, but a pretty bad couple of days. The place was fully booked so a different room wasn't an option.
