    great location
    poor service
    dirty linens

    Straight talk, worth it or not?

    Stunning lake views and a location that's hard to beat! It’s perfect for walking to nearby shops and restaurants, making evenings a joy.

    Staff appeared overwhelmed and undertrained, leading to a frustrating check-in experience. Room cleanliness also fell short, with dirty linens ruining our comfort.

    A Cozy Stay with Room for Improvement

    Our recent one-night stay in a King Room offered warm vibes and a comfy bed, but some issues arose. The bathroom mirror was not functional, making makeup application a challenge. Enjoy the beautiful view of the lake and check the fridge upon arrival!

    Nina at the front desk provided exceptional service during our emergency stay, being both kind and understanding as we were hiding from Hurricane Milton. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the location next to the lake allows for easy walks to nearby restaurants.

    It was just a top selection for a short visit in The Villages with good value for price. Check-in was smooth and a staff member even brought us a forgotten toothbrush. Be sure to ask for your room preference to get what you like.

    beautiful views
    spacious room
    friendly staff
    dated decor
    uncomfortable bed

    I stayed in the King Room with Lake View for 2 nights. The views were beautiful and the room was spacious, which made it feel like home. However, the decor was a bit dated and the bed was uncomfortable, like I rolled into a hole. The AC struggled a bit but thankfully it wasn't too hot outside. Overall, I appreciated the friendly staff and the convenience of the location.

    maintenance issues

    There are several quirks that detract from the overall experience. The air conditioning unit in the room was not only noisy but also appeared in disarray, which might be unsettling for some. Even though the hotel is down by the lake, it's strange to face so many maintenance issues-ranging from inconsistent housekeeping to outdated decor-which might leave some guests feeling underwhelmed.
