The Waterfront Inn is fabulous. It has a friendly and professional staff which makes stayin in The Villages a true vacation. I've stayed ther each week for 2 years and each experience has been wonderful. I would highly recommend it for a Business or Family's Home-Away-From-Home trip. Mike Hibbard: V.P.

Had friends visiting us as we live in The Villages & was able to get them a great room rate using my Village ID number. They enjoyed their stay here, and loved the location & surroundings. They indicated the bed was comfortable & staff friendly. All of my future visiting guests will stay here.

My husband, children and I stayed at The Waterfront Inn for a friends wedding, and got a good group rate on the room. The room was large, clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable and the towels were soft and plentiful. The staff throughout the hotel were very friendly. It was a short walk to many restaurants, and stores... More

We were so lucky as to be placed on the ground floor past the kitchen. Every time we left our room or returned to our room we were greeted with a very unpleasant dank, wet, old food covered carpet smell. Sorry, that's really the only way to describe it. The breakfast room was filthy with super sticky floors (just like... More

This hotel was nice, but could be a lot better. Rooms were nice and comfortable and the location in The Villages is great. Walking distance to everything. People were friendly. However, by afternoon, the pool and hot tub were loaded with bugs. No skimmer in sight, otherwise, I would have skimmed it off myself. Also, the floor in the breakfast... More

Took a 2 day trip to see what The Villages was all about. Got the room for 2 nights through priceline bidding $ 73.00 per night. Only problem was the maid service. They didn't make up the room the second night. At 3 PM I found the maid to ask to have the room made up. She didn't speak a... More

The Inn has very nice rooms, clean, and nice water view. If you are looking for pleasant lodging in this area, this is a good location. Available services such as luggage assistance are spotty, restaurant is acceptable and pleasant but not gourmet. Overall a very good three+ star.

We've been traveling 2.5 weeks of a one month trip and found this to be the best stop yet! The room is well decorated, the view of the lake is excellent, the shower is to die for, and the bed is really, really comfy!
