I stay at this property a few times each month. While it's not always perfect, it's always perfectly handled. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The rooms are each unique in the decor, which I like! If there's ever any problems, they are always resolved quickly and with a smile. I will continue to stay here on a regular basis.

Guest Lodge met all of our expectations and needs again. This was the third or fourth stay and the only issue was an emergency water line repair which the staff quickly and clearly communicated when the repair was to be made. It did not impact our stay. Parking is great if you’re brining a bass boat!

We have stayed at The Guest Lodge several times and it is reliably clean, comfortable, and staffed with outstanding personnel. They make you feel welcome and when you check out, they always ask “how was your stay?” There is something “homey” about The Guest Lodge that our family enjoys and we always look forward to our stay there on our trips to and from FL.

Not sure where at the great reviews are coming from. The staff were very friendly. Our room did not look like the pictures, it was very old, dated and smelled. The walls were very thin and we were up all night with a laughing woman and the door opening and closing. The is a fire station close by and the sound of their engines blared day and night. If you want a cheap place you stay and no sleep and a smelly old room this is the place to stay.
