Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Originally, I thought this place would be quaint and cute because of the scenery. I quickly realized it was not. The room was filthy, the office staff was unavailable and complained when called upon, the groundsmen was confrontational, and parking was horrendous! I saw the reviews and chose to come here based off reviews, but quickly realized it was not all that it was cut out to be.

We found a hidden gem booking this property. It is nestled in a remote, quite neighborhood away on the lake. It is located about 10 minutes from shopping and dining. The staff was so nice and accommodating. The bed was so comfortable, which is hard to find these days in hotels.

A nice quiet and relaxing place. They have a dock on the lake I walked to and worked out on every morning. And at night I sat on the dock under the stars. It’s also off the main highway so the road to the inn is a quiet road and you’re not suddenly pulling into traffic. Overall great place!

Quaint “old Florida” vibe to the place. Took me back to my younger years (1960’s) growing up in Central Florida.

great little spot, and a great deal!

this little motel is a hidden gem. it might be just a bit outdated, but it makes up for it by being very clean, comfortable beds, and being very well maintained. The motel has parking right outside your door. The lake is so pretty and has great sunset views in a very relaxed "summer camp" atmosphere. I would stay here again!

It's not just this hotel, most, in my experience, don't invest in good quality, comfortable mattresses. Lets face it, that is what they are selling, a place for people to sleep, away from home, but most go cheep.
