I will start by saying the staff has their customer service skills down pat and were extremely nice and helpful. Because of that I find it difficult to write this. The room itself was very spacious with a small fridge and microwave which is always nice to have when traveling. The sheets were clean but I hesitate to even guess when the last time the blanket and bedspread were washed. The rug felt nasty under foot and the towels were so ruff it hurt to use them. However the worse part of all was the mattress. After a few hours of tossing and turning I got up (barely) and slept (or tried to sleep) in the chair. The mattress was lumpy with no support what so ever. I'm glad we brought our own pillows because the ones there were like sponges with lumps in them. They do put out coffee and donuts in the morning. Next time we'll bring our RV.

We have stayed at the Inn most every year in March while visiting for the Florida CentraL Railroad. Room was clean, bathroom remodeled and hot water. Coffee was ready in the morning but not much else.

From the first minutes we spent looking out over the lake, watching the sun set, and just enjoying the beautiful landscaped grounds of this Grand Motel in sunny Tavares Florida. The staff was great, cant think of anything they would'nt have done for us....really, Ken the manager offered us an extre night at half price just to get us to stay longer...wished we could have.All the house keepers were friendly and helpful.....oh well. We'll be back soon !!

First let me tell you that while I was not on vacation I was having a very stresssful situation in my life. I checked in to a lovely old inn in tavares Fl. to try and get my head together and make some critical decisions in my life. The staff, from day one was courteous and super helpful. My room was quiet, nicely decorated and exceptionally large and clean. The staff made me feel safe and welcome. The view of the lake was a great. Sue the housekeeper was great to talk to and really helped me see life in a new light. I spent several hours in the lobby, on the computer and Ken hepled me navigate several different sights. You may think this this is overkill about this hotel. but if you are having a tough time in life it sure is a lot more reasonable than a psychiatrist. I would recommend this place to anyone. The area is full of things to do and places to see.
Sincerely
