The room was spotless, the staff is phenomenal- every staff person we encountered was above and beyond. Our meals were delicious- the boat ride was stunning: I don’t think our stay could have been better.
Everyone at the lodge was pleasant and helpful. We had a great hike, a pleasant dinner and breakfast, and saw so many manatees. There were renovations in progress and it was very cold out but that didn’t bother us at all. The very nice staff more than make up for little inconveniences.
This is our second stay at The Lodge. We love the character of this property. The room was very comfortable and we enjoyed the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. All staff members were a pleasure to work with. Some of our friends will be coming later this month based on our recommendation.
Everything about our stay was great! Location, The Lodge, Staff, The food was excellent, and the staff. We only stayed one night as a halfway trip to Disney, but we will definitely be back because our family loved it so much!

Very old, historic hotel. Nice and clean. Excellent staff.
The staff was friendly, room was spacious/clean and the ambiance was beautiful and peaceful. We really enjoyed our two-night stay. The only issue was the inoperable elevator, which apparently has been out of service for many months.
We had a great stay. Breakfast in the dining room was delicious. Housekeeper was super friendly and did an excellent job. All staff that we interacted with were very nice.

Staff could be more welcoming. No enthusiasm and did not ask about any needs we may have - important since the water to the hotel will be shut off overnight. Also, no elevator service.
Dinner as wonderful - very attentive staff and excellent food!
