Everything! The property was as pictured online. The room was clean. The common area was the same. The staff was friendly & helpful on the phone. The check in was easy. Parking was plentiful. The only drawback was the traffic noise at night because the room was on the main street. I will definitely stay here again!

Hidden gem in Lake City

My sister lives in Lake City, and we always had forgotten about this place. But, this time we remembered and tried it, and it was a super cool place. Very different layout with old school charm, great bed, great bathroom, and the kitchenette was super convenient also. Will definitely go back.

Second time just as charming as the first

Second time staying here and second time reviewing. This hotel is such a bargain. We did show up on a Sunday night, however. The town is kind of closed up on Sunday nights, so if you planned on enjoying a nice dinner in town, don’t stay on a Sunday night.

Parking is in the back of building. Only thing I didn’t like was the reach of their WiFi. It wouldn’t connect to one of the TVs in the room. Overall, it was super clean! Linens were full stocked. Would stay again
