The restaurant and pool were still under renovation. No problem. Many other places to eat within a few minutes walk. I loved walking along the lake in the mornings. Very beautiful sunsets in the evenings

Unhappy with Hotels.com
We picked this hotel because it had a pool and bar, that we planned on hangout at. Neither were available due to renovations, ruined our entire night. It would have been nice to use both since that is what was advertised on your website. Would second guess using your website next time due to false advertisement.

Upon check in we were informed that Hotel is under renovation. Bar/Restaurant is not open. Front desk and staff were very friendly. We were upgraded to a balcony room which was gorgeous. Room was quiet and cozy. Property is walking distance from bars, shops, restaurants and entertainment. Can’t wait to return and see the completed renovations!

Hotel is undergoing renovation, but our stay was still wonderful. They had a breakfast buffet set up on the weekend in a temporary location as well as a happy hour with burgers… in the evening. We got to enjoy the beautiful outdoor veranda on the lake.

Although there was construction going on, the property management made sure to give us a room on a higher floor to minimize the noises. They had printed out a paper that explained what was going on, approximate date of completion, and names of restaurants to go to for breakfast that offered a discount for guests at this inn. The staff is friendly and helpful. We had a lake view room that was very clean and comfortable. The only suggestions I have is to fix the part that holds the lampshade on the lamps (also, lamps are a bit too big for the bedside tables) and the dimmer switch for the bathroom lights. I also noticed that the bottle that holds the soap in the shower had not been filled enough. Other than these few items, I would recommend the Waterfront Inn to anyone looking for a nice getaway to The Villages.

Called ahead to make sure there was a pool and hot tub which I was told a yes to. Drove 25 miles out of my way as i checked after the call and saw pictures online and it looked great. After check in, I come to find out the Pool, hot tub, restaurant and lounge are all closed for renovations. I understand these areas may need work but to close everything at once and not tell people is criminal. Adding to the fact I called first and asked about the pool and hot tub, they could have said something then. When questioned afterwards I was told they have another hotel "5 min away" we could use. Then I call that place and they are 17 mins away. When asked for a refund and Ill go somewhere else i was told no.

Lobby under construction not told this - nor listed anywhere, bar restaurant also this way - so go in and out an awkward back entrance exit - but shoulder season and don't care anyway, but what if was counting on all that ?? and the guy knowing only half full or less at check in and leaving before the weekend - and give me the parking lot room over the dumpster ?? Both these things annoying, right !!?? Well - told the guy "Lake view Please"!!! Duhhh ??? Maybe they all need to go to a hospitality class or something ?? Otherwise good place...
