Excellent hotel with great amenities, and it also doubles as a historical museum so it is fascinating to check out. Staff is helpful and always working on renovations which is great to see. The people here staying are friendly, kind, and have not bothered me. I’m having a great stay here and have no complaints, would highly recommend! However the second floor (hallway) looks like a recreation of Steven Kings movie the shining… so you feel like your in the movie for a second

Great location, not too far from Orlando & Daytona. The staff was extremely pleasant, rooms were cozy, quiet and relaxing. Had my daughters birthday party here, plenty of room for the blow up house that we had, and owners were wonderful about it. Thank you!!!

Surprisingly good experience. Up front, you have to know it's an OLD building. 100+ years, which is both a pro and a con depending on your point of view. Pros: Great wifi, very clean, no bugs, cheap price, AC worked great in my room, bed was very comfortable, outdoor picnic/play area, staff was friendly Cons: parking lot entrance can be a pain to get in and out of due to traffic, no sound proofing at all due to age of building (you can hear the TVs from 3 rooms away), and the bathrooms are... basic. All in all, a very different experience from other hotels in it's price range in the area. I liked it.

Been here for a year and it has been a haven after facing some crappy life challenges and changes. Beautiful property and the owner has been super kind and the onsite manager has always treated us like family.

Great extended stay! The property is very clean, and the nearby farmers market adds a nice touch. The new management is fantastic—easy to work with and responsive. The mobile portal makes things super convenient. While the property very old 1876 lol, they’ve done a great job turning it around and making it a safe and comfortable place to stay.
