Hotel was very clean. Staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. Very conveniently located to restaurants. The pool goes to 8 1/2 feet deep, which is amazing for a hotel pool. Very nice property outside with many features to relax.

The bed was comfy, water and pressure in the shower was hot, but the carpet in the room could have standed to be vacuumed again. The complimentary breakfast wasn't much, but ok.

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.
