6/10 Good

Very clean and quite sufficient. Good bed. We were given the Ada accessible room which happened to be adjacent to the main road both of which were unfortunate. Also we did not see housekeeping until the day before we left ( 4 day stay) we were not fans of the limited and inaccessible breakfast but it would get you going for the day. One morning they had run out of coffee at 8:30am. For the most part it was a very pleasant place to stay at a very affordable price. Accommodated our VERY late arrival with grace- thank you John.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

The Guest Lodge is a little gem of a place to stay. The staff are welcoming and attentive, always asking, “did you enjoy your stay?” Rooms are very nice and pets are genuinely welcome. We will continue to stay here on our trips through this area.

Guest Lodge met all of our expectations and needs again. This was the third or fourth stay and the only issue was an emergency water line repair which the staff quickly and clearly communicated when the repair was to be made. It did not impact our stay. Parking is great if you’re brining a bass boat!

For the price and location - it can’t be beat. I grew up in Gainesville and honestly never expected this property to be one that felt fresh and safe. The owners have done a great job and I quite enjoy staying there every time I come back home.
