We liked everything about it. The staff went above and beyond. The bed and pillows were wonderful. The room was spacious and comfortable. We love the historic look of the whole hotel. Walking to the lake and downtown restaurants and stores was close by. The attached restaurant was amazing. We will be back

There are many things to criticize, the main thing is the service or lack thereof by the hotel personal, you simply can never find them. I like though to keep this positive, the place does have a nice old style charm. The most positive thing itself is downtown Defuniak Springs, at this time of the year its magical. We enjoed a stroll around the lake tremendously, the lights are beautiful. We came here for the night from the nearby Panama City and came to the conclusion that our much bigger city doesn't offer this kind of festivities. Panama City likes to use Hurricane Michael as an excuse for it's lack of a anything nice this time of the year, anything you find is by individuals and not by the city. My closing words to the hotel, try harder.

It was such a beautiful historic hotel and area. I truly enjoyed walking around the spring and the quaint downtown. Unfortunately, it wasn't as pleasant a stay as I would've liked. The carpets in elevator and on stairway were worn and filthy. The couches and chairs in the lobby looked worn and the color concept needs updating. There are fake dusty plants in the lobby. And, I didn't have control over the thermostat in my room. It was boiling hot at night. I was given the opportunity to switch to a smaller room where the TV didn't work but ended up staying in my previous room. I tried to open the windows but the heater won. Suffice it to say I didn't get much sleep. This hotel has so much potential its a shame its not well maintained. All in all the staff was helpful and nice and the town itself along with the architecture were worth seeing.

The Cafe Nola was excellent, the staff was nice. The room was okay, as the second 'bedroom' was open to the first, and had a creaky, metal bunkbed for kids. Was too expensive. The shower was great, but the room was right by the main road with no 'block-out' curtain (so it was noisy and BRIGHT every time a car drove by. Access to the lake with the walking path was great. A mixed bag, really. I gave the stay a 4, but the room was a 3 and the food was a 5, so 4 is the average.

When booking this hotel we were absolutely prepared for a “vintage” experience. What we actually received was something quite different. After booking our reservation we called and couldn’t quite get an adult to talk to on the phone, which was definitely our first red flag. Upon check in at 10pm we let our selves into the lobby with a provided code and then literally went over to the counter and picked up our key..which was next to other people’s keys and personal information. Not secure at all!! The room was dusty, with old rough sheets and ripped towels. The bed was U shaped and my husband and I spent the whole night back to back. The air conditioning was password protected and we were gifted the privilege of using an old window unit which was louder than a jet engine. Upon check out we searched for any form of life, and found no one. Just an empty lobby. We literally left our key on the table and walked our. When getting in our car we saw a women and an undressed child in the attached restaurant and asked if our checkout was complete. She gave us a wave and that was it. This place could be fantastic, but seriously needs some TLC. A good cleaning, new linens and a single employee would be a good place to start. We viewed it as glamping and it’s making for a good laugh with the friends and family. For the hotels sake, we hope they remedy their issues soon!

Great historic building with old school style hotel where the owner/chef is likely to check you in. It's not the Hilton and you are left alone to enjoy your privacy. Rooms are clean and the restaurant is classic style with great staff and food. Relax and enjoy authentic small town American hospitality.

Cheaper but bugs and no service
Cute 1920s time period. However, no one to greet you or how to get into the hotel. The bed was not a queen size but a full size. One of had to sleep on the divan. No extra blankets. Minimal towels. Ceiling fans caked with dust. Then there was the cockroaches, some type of flying stick like creature and a wasp. No breakfast. Had coffee but no water. Parking was on the street
