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.

good location with beautiful views

The property has fantastic lake and golf course views. The walking distance to many great restaurants and shops enhanced our stay.

The check-in process could be smoother.

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.

I truly enjoyed the beautiful lakeside view from my room, which made for lovely evenings filled with tranquility. The hotel's location allowed easy walks to nearby shops and restaurants, perfect for someone like me who appreciates a leisurely stroll.

Snagged some tasty bites nearby at Cody's Original Roadhouse and Thai Ruby Restaurant—absolutely delicious! Plus, the staff was delightful, making the stay feel warm and welcoming, even amid the renovations.

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.

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.

great area for city strolls and park views

I loved the easy access to Lake Sumter Landing, just about a 500-meter walk from the hotel, along with the vibrant dining options just a few steps away, making my stay here feel like a true getaway. it was a perfect base for my weekend explorations and I really appreciated the fact that my dog could join me on these adventures.

The heaters in the pool area were a nice touch. the room cleanliness was subpar.

We stayed here for 2 nights in a King Room with Lake View. Location was perfect for walking to nearby shops and fun activities. Loved the spacious room and beautiful views. It felt like home during our stay, making everything so much easier during our trip.

the waterfront inn was a great stay! the king room with lake view was stunning, and the staff were super friendly. i loved the beautiful view of the lake while enjoying a peaceful stroll on the boardwalk nearby. the room was incredibly clean, possibly the cleanest i've encountered!

totally recommend

The views from the King Room with Lake View were absolutely stunning, making our stay memorable. The location was ideal for exploring nearby shops and activities, which we loved. However, the hotel was undergoing renovations, so some amenities were unavailable, including dining options, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, this was a lovely place to unwind and take in the scenery.

I had a lovely stay at The Waterfront Inn in a King Room with Lake View. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning, especially during sunrise. The cozy sitting area by the window was perfect for enjoying my morning coffee. The staff were incredibly friendly, making me feel right at home.

No dining options on-site during my stay.
