We loved the “Old Florida” feel of Everglades City and the hotel…it was a bit like stepping back in time. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly (in both the hotel and the community) and we had a positive experience overall. The hotel is charming, but a bit dated in a good way…the TV selections were limited, and we ended up watching Andy Griffith and The Beverly Hillbillies 😆 The hotel was clean and had tile floors (a big positive for me, I hate carpet) but the dehumidifier and AC were a bit noisy. Given the limited options for hotels in Everglades City, this is definitely the best option, and I recommend it, especially if you are launching a kayak for a tour through the islands…so convenient!
