This is the best for a anyone looking for a place in this area - 1 person to a large group! We stayed in a room that slept six (2 large bedrooms and a very large bathroom). The breakfast was fresh. We would definitely stay there again!!!

Site was beautiful. Very nice upgrades on interior. Bedroom was minuscule, could not walk around the bed.,No instructions for usage of TV streaming system or the Keurig coffee machine. The breakfast selection was vast. However there were only 4 guests in the hotel. It made one wonder if food, eggs, meat, yogurt, etc. were safe to eat and how many times they came in out of the refrigerator. This place overall was amazing in both good and bad ways

We received a checkin code but no staff was there. We were the only ones there! It was very quiet and we had access to a lounge area with tv, snacks and refrigerator. In the morning we woke to an amazing breakfast and as we were leaving a staff gave us suggestions on what to do in the area. Very friendly and helpful. The grounds were very pretty and we saw lots of wildlife there. It was a little creepy at night though being the only ones there.

We liked the quiet area and loved the breakfast in the morning! Thank you for that! The grounds were lovely and the porch was nice for relaxing and bird listening. The owner was very helpful with restaurant options and the television! This place should really be called a bed and breakfast, not a hotel however. We aren’t big fans of shared spaces when we stay somewhere and the description didn’t really explain that. We really didn’t want to put the food from our cooler in a shared fridge. We assumed it would be more like a hotel. The rooms are more like a sleeping space with a bathroom. There was nowhere to plug in chargers so that phones could sit on a counter. We had to leave them on the floor. One side of the bed was up against a wall, so my husband had to crawl in and out of the end of the bed. We don’t have serious mobility issues, but it was a challenge. Not big issues, more inconveniences.

Came to kayak on the Chaz
A lovely spot off the beaten path. This B&B is a wonderful spot if you are planning to spend time on the Chaz over. The property is lovely and the Live Oak in the yard is incredible! The historic building is lovely and has a great history. The accommodations were basic but very comfortable. The breakfast was ample and it is clear they seek options for people with all types of dietary needs. Nice to have the snacks and fruit available through the day! Thanks for a great stay!

Although it was beautiful it was NOT on the river. That is the main reason I selected it from others that were actually on rivers. I felt it was deceptive advertising to show the picture of the boat launch as part of the property when in actuality that business was a good 10 minute walk away and was a totally separate property. The lady that met me to check me in was very brusque. She said that she sent me a text giving me the code for the door but I never received it. She seemed angry about that. It was very cold the evening that I was there and I had no access to heat because Ann the lady in charge lived off premises and I didn’t feel comfortable calling her to inquire about heat After the BIG hurry she was in earlier. I was the only guest in the hotel that evening which should have been indicative of an unpleasant stay. Beware of false advertising!!

I was unable to stay at the hotel, so they gave me one of their cottages, which was delightful, and I'm sure, an upgrade. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Good hot water and pressure. Comfortable bed. Cold A/C. WiFi was good, but wouldn't connect with my laptop. Would stay again.

Manager tries hard
Older building from 1920s. Stairs only. Outside stairs difficult to see steps on way down during the day. Strange room arrangement of suite separated into bedroom. Very large rooms. Non-COVID dispensers of cotton balls and cotton swabs in bathroom. Bathroom window would not close all the way. Manager tries hard but new to the area and seems unfamiliar with locations and restaurants.

The hotel is in a perfect area to enjoy the chaz River. Angela greeted us and made our stay very enjoyable. We stayed in the bottom room by the kitchen ( mermaid room) the mattresses were not the best and the pillows were not the greatest, if I do stay here again and I most likely will, I will bring my own pillow ( kinda a snob like that ) lol be open to a hotel that’s like a bed and breakfast. It’s clean and it’s perfect for a few nights.

Seriously, this has been the most lovely accommodation experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to multiple countries and a place just 3 hours away from me blew them all away in terms of service and the experience. It felt like “home” They didn’t bother us (but always ready to help with smiling faces) they let us use another room because one was still in the process of being cleaned and didn’t hassle us to give the keys back until the next morning. Even then they didn’t hassle us, I gave them to them. Would come again and again and again!

Great little place for a relaxing weekend
This was a great hotel. I think it used to be a bed and breakfast but they seem to be running it as a hotel right now. The owner/manager and the housekeeper were super helpful. Really above and beyond. We stayed there to go on the chass river and the staff made sure that happened. It's super quite there, very peaceful. If you want dinning it's really only 15 min away although there is a publix nearby. The bathrooms are detached from the rooms but are very big. The are kind of set up for a group so it's this group has this bathroom that groups has that. I'd imagine great for a group of fishermen or a family. I'm sure it could accommodate a larger family gathering. Hotel probably hold 3 groups max I think their are 6 bedrooms. Very historic feel to the building but it's well maintained. Nice porch nice second floor porch. Rocking chairs. The bed was super comfy. We enjoyed. The staff really made it above and beyond though

This is not a hotel At All. It's not even a bed and breakfast because I don't consider a boiled egg and a granola bar to be a breakfast. It's more like a hostel. The pictures are misleading and when I called Travelocity the day of check in and then 4 more times over the next few days, I finally received a call back three days later and was told the manager at this hotel would not agree to a refund. Literally everywhere else was booked because it was a holiday weekend or we would have went somewhere else. I called the manager from this place to discuss the situation and I guess he thought it was funny. He didn't want to refund anything because I didn't complain sooner. It wasn't dirty. It just isn't like the pictures. We stayed in a tiny little room with an old tiny little bathroom that looked like we were staying in a worn out trailer. I was extremely disappointed with this "hotel".

We take serious criticism constructively and as an opportunity to improve. They did not express any dissatisfaction during their stay, CHOSE the room they stayed in, and had more breakfast options than mentioned above including yoghurt, a selection of cereals, a variety of breakfast bars, coffee and juice (all at no additional charge) The room is not tiny, the bathroom is not tiny. There are a variety of rooms, some bigger than others. This 'tiny' room is 12' by 10' not massive, but not tiny. It is well-appointed with an antique rolltop desk and cool vintage trunk, and queen size bed with quality linens. The 'tiny' bathroom is 11' by 5' with room enough for an antique bathtub. All the pictures are real and of the property. and immediate area. So no, we do not offer 'post-stay' refunds after you use the room for your Holiday based on a bunch of made-up objections. If you don't enjoy unique historical properties, choose differently, or embrace the character and charm of real Old Florida. We love our property and the guests who come to enjoy it!

The place is nice and quite, great location. The owner is very friendly and try’s to make your stay good. But the toilets could be cleaned better and room we were in was extremely small, could hardly turn around in it. Would have been better for a twin bed. Also says private bathrooms but they are shared. Bed was comfortable but a double bed for two adults is small. Food was very good. All in all was a good stay with plenty of common living space to share.
