The man who waited on us at check-in and check-out was not friendly and sometimes down right rude. For the price of the rooms, we expected more comfortable beds and carpet without stains. Would not stay here again or recommend.

Great location- tired rooms

We stayed here in March 2025. The best thing about it was the view. The rooms are tired, the bedding is sparse and it is totally not worth the $300/night. Really could use a paint job and some refreshing. The pool and bar area was very enjoyable though and we could walk to dinner.

Nice to sit out back with a view. They had live music most nights, maybe every night, not sure as I wasn't there every night. Towels and blankets had stains. Only bummer about this hotel.

We had a wonderful day at the waterfront Inn. Everything was fabulous with the exception of the doorstops that were actually on the floor. I ended up, stepping on them several times and once tripped and fell into the wall. Or than that highly recommended

Lovely, quaint little hotel in the heart of one of The Villages. Beautiful little pool area with a nice bar/restaurant right on the lake. Almost like it was planned. Like everything in The Villages - well done! ESPECIALLY the Staff - thank you all!
