Beautiful property, great restaurant… the only thing I would say is that having daily room refresh would be fantastic. Coming home to a made bed is the best part of being in a hotel… we didn’t have fresh towels for shower either.

OK, the context of this review is from someone who has been to the waterfront in many times. I mean, I’ve been here most recently three times over the last several months to visit family. What I like about the waterfront Inn is the proximity to Lake Sumter, Landing, and all that that has to offer. The renovations that have been completed in the last year have updated this hotel which previously was a bit dated and or creepy i.e. pineapple wallpaper. The rooms have laminate flooring which helped to keep it clean. The bathtub and showers and fixtures appear to be somewhat dated however. Accommodations are modern and not overstated. The beds are surprisingly comfortable.The edition of the calypso restaurant is an added feature and bonus to a restaurant area that was not as appealing previously. Happy hour prices are excellent and the appetizers tasty. if I could offer management, any suggestions I would say please find a new vendor for your morning complementary coffee because it is terrible! Well, in all my stays at the waterfront Inn over the past years have been good to excellent with kind and accommodating staff.

property/facility is dated, but clean. Should have at least complementary bottled water in the room. The floor needs an upgrade as it's old and looks unpolished.
