Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a fridge and microwave, but they could use some spring cleaning and attention to woodwork. The service was excellent and the staff was professional and friendly, although there was a slight misunderstanding about an additional night charge. The location was convenient for my needs, being right next door to my sister's RV park in Okeechobee, Florida, although the size of the place seemed designed to deter lingering. The dining options were limited but the food served was fresh and good. The price range was reasonable, falling between $50 to $60, excluding tax.
The hotel overlooks a small body of water, offering a nice standard room experience. The service was mixed with helpful gestures but also some concerning interactions. The location is ideal for lake activities and close to amenities, while the dining options were satisfactory but sparse. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel wasn't bad overall, but there were some drawbacks. The beds were comfortable, but the room had black mold and a moldy smell. The outdated TV and lack of USB ports were disappointing. Make sure to check the room before settling in for the night. I won't be returning.
