from the time I checked into my room, the lady at the front was very nice and helpful and efficient. My room was very clean modern and very spacious. Very good value to get a nice room with a pool right outside your door while other hotels in the area about 30 to 40% more expensive, if not more good location plenty of parking

This is my second time staying at your establishment and once again it was a comfy stay. I think her name is Stephanie who was there early in the morning when I came down for breakfast and she is very sweet.
This is actually a photo from my last visit. I should have take a picture of the pile of snow near my room.

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.
