Reviews and Ratings
The hotel definitely showed its age with dated furnishings, and the initial impression of the room was dirty and had a noticeable odor. Despite these drawbacks, the service staff, especially Kenneth, went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The location, though needing repairs, was convenient and close to various attractions. The dining options were limited, but the facilities were plentiful.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, although I ended up in a handicap room due to overbooking, which was not ideal for us since we are not handicapped. The service was good overall, although some staff seemed a bit on edge. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby shops and restaurants, but I did have to ask for sugar-free packages. The dining options were superb, offering a great variety of choices, even if not the cheapest. The facilities were well-maintained, making my stay comfortable.
I absolutely loved my stay at the Waterfront Inn. The location was perfect, right by Lake Sumter Landing, with beautiful views and walking distance to shops and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and had two comfortable queen-size beds, making for a cozy stay. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience was great with a variety of choices for breakfast. However, the unavailability of certain service options was a bit disappointing. Overall, a wonderful experience with incredible value for money.
