The owner was very nice and informative about the history of the hotel, restaurants, and places to see around Arcadia. I felt very comfortable staying there as a single woman. Bed was comfy. Breakfast was available each morning and drinks, including wine and beer, were available 24/7. There is a lovely sitting area for guests. Each room has a unique decor, predominantly ornate India-themed. The hotel is in the process of upgrading and expanding services. Until they finish their downstairs rooms, this is a walk-up to second-floor guest rooms. Note that this is a 1902 building and has its fair share of creaks and old-style features. I found this charming and far better than a chain hotel. There was a fair bit of vehicle noise, primarily due to state road repairs during the day and general traffic that was most obvious in the early morn. This would be the only place I would stay when visiting Arcadia, FL.
