Beautiful find. Clean, relaxing, friendly staff, delicious food in restaurant. Had breakfast and dinner, and had ice cream in the "Parlor" which has soups, hot dogs, and all sorts of treats. No TV distraction. TV in lobby plays "Creature from the Black Lagoon" on loop as it was partially filmed here. Amazing history, I could image what it would have been like in 1937 when it was built. Nice boat ride with the most wildlife I have seen living in Florida my entire life. Saw probably 20 alligators, 15 manatees, and various different species of turtles and birds and even an otter at the boat dock. Look forward to visiting in the summer.

Staff could be more welcoming. No enthusiasm and did not ask about any needs we may have - important since the water to the hotel will be shut off overnight. Also, no elevator service. Dinner as wonderful - very attentive staff and excellent food!

Old hotel with a lot of charm, and the location within a state park was ideal. I would recommend (especially during slow periods) that the hotel guests be provided with complimentary passes to enjoy the boat rides on the Springs rather than having to pay the standard admission fee. The food in the Lodge's restaurant was expensive and dreadful. I ordered a chicken breast which was lukewarm and slathered under an unidentifiable milk sauce. The meal actually gave me a stomachache. When I mentioned this issue to the checkout clerk the next morning, without evening maintaining eye contact with me he said 'he'd let the kitchen know'. Judging from this reaction something tells me the kitchen will remain uninformed.

Historic lodge in a state park overlooking a Wakulla Spring and run. Elevator rebuild was underway so stairs were the only option to access rooms. Check in was easy. Rooms were relatively large and quite clean. Restaurant staff were very helpful and breakfast was delicious. Glass bottom boat rides are available and there are several miles of walking and hiking trails in the park.

The room was very clean. The bathroom was particularly clean. The beds mattresses are aging. The exterior door at the end of our hallway doesn’t look like it is sealed off from the outside so it lets a lot of cold air or hot air in to the building. There is a one inch gap between the sill and the door. The room doors need sound insulation and a tighter fit. In general, I believe the State of Florida has neglected this gem and needs to put some money in to it to modernize the rooms and baths, HVAC system etc. There is a lot to preserve that is worthwhile but the building is starting fall apart. State stewardship is needed. Low taxes don’t mean anything if state assets are depreciating, particularly something as important as the state’s only lodge and a true historical flagship public asset.
