I had a group function for 4 days at the Innisbrook Golf Resort and I must say I was very pleased. Previous reviews I read said the place was old and outdated, but I disagree. YES, the exterior of the buildings looks like a throwback to a 70's condo, but I got inside my room and it was, dare I say, right up there with some of the nicer hotels I have stayed at before. I had a jr suite, which when I booked it was only 10.00 more than a standard "hotel room" style room, and it was spacious and clean, the furniture was not the typical hotel furniture but very nice, clean, and not broken down. Had a nice kitchenette, several closets, a dining table for 4, and one of the most comfortable beds and linens I have ever slept on. The bathroom was small, but who cares.
I was on the ground floor which was good as most of these older buildings DO NOT have elevators, so lugging your luggage up the stairs could be a pain. One entire wall was windows with sheers so I could see out onto the nice large patio I had that looked right onto the lake. Complimentary high speed internet was available, but I could never get mine to work. Luckily I had my own wireless card. Only thing outdated about the room was the t.v.s A nice flat screen would have been the cherry on top.
The grounds are very well maintained, and the golf course, the tennis courts, the meeting and club houses, the restaurants and pools all nice and clean and inviting. I will say check their schedule as this place really does a lot of grop events, and many of the ammenities are closed for half days for special dinners and catered affairs at the pools, so they may not be available during your stay. Check ahead of time to be sure your not blocked out.
You don't need a car if you stay here.. they have continuous shuttles around the property who will pick you up and take you to the on site pools, restaurants, or where ever you want to go on site. They also shuttle to and from the Tampa airport, but I heard that was a little pricey.
The Staff was friendly from the security gate guard to the desk clerks and the bellhop who helped with my luggage. Check in and check out was a breeze.
I would most definitely stay here again.
