The room was very nice. Bed was comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. We never saw a single human in the hotel while we were there! Breakfast beignets were provided between 9am -1030am , we weren't able to partake due to we always left hotel before 9am.

Expedia noted "free breakfast". Not true. They offered beignets, IF you happened to see someone connected to the hotel (doubt anyone would consider this "breakfast"). NOLA cafe next door was nice. Rooms were very small, but had everything you would need. would have been nice if they were a little clearer on how the parking worked. with no one manning the front desk, it was difficult to find out information (e.g. breakfast, parking, touristy info etc)

Cool place

Stayed here on road trip heading west. Its a real gem- a totally unique building and hotel in a really lovely town. The hotel checkin was contactless but super easy and the room was unique in a fun and good way. Clean and big enough for one night.

Great little hotel, if you are looking for a “mom and pop” kind of experience this is it. Has a convenient restaurant and bar on the first floor. Close to mayor highways. I would recommend and if I happen to be in the area again I would definitely stay here

Off the beaten path and worth the trip!

Delightful small hotel with an excellent restaurant attached. Slightly off the beaten path but clean, friendly and reminiscent of earlier times. Located within walking distance of restaurants, a bakery/coffee shop and several Tesla superchargers.

Great historic building with old school style hotel where the owner/chef is likely to check you in. It's not the Hilton and you are left alone to enjoy your privacy. Rooms are clean and the restaurant is classic style with great staff and food. Relax and enjoy authentic small town American hospitality.

Loved the historic hotel. Close to everything. Cafe Nola had a great bar. Annie the bartender was excellent! Karaoke was fun! Friday and Sat nights. The hotel provides bar soap. No shampoo, conditioner or lotion. The bed was comfortable. Loved the high ceilings and ceiling fan. I highly recommend this hotel for a quaint stay.

We loved the look of this hotel. The staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. We did not like that we reserved what we thought was two separate bedrooms, but when we got inside the room the bedrooms were open to each other. The beds were not comfortable. We also did not appreciate that the room was right next to a busy highway so we could hear every car that passed.

Unique location and interesting story. Room clean but very spartan with minimal bed coverings and pillows. Most rooms front the street and hence very noisy. There is no staff so this is a self-service location. The associated restaurant/bar was great but not sure the connection to the hotel. Again calling this a hotel may be a stretch as its just a location with a bed/shower and auto-check-in

The Cafe Nola was excellent, the staff was nice. The room was okay, as the second 'bedroom' was open to the first, and had a creaky, metal bunkbed for kids. Was too expensive. The shower was great, but the room was right by the main road with no 'block-out' curtain (so it was noisy and BRIGHT every time a car drove by. Access to the lake with the walking path was great. A mixed bag, really. I gave the stay a 4, but the room was a 3 and the food was a 5, so 4 is the average.

Everything about my stay went as planned. The building is over 100 years old and as such, I understood some of the quirks of the property. That is part of the experience staying at this property. My only area of dissatisfaction was with the climate control. it seem to have a mind of its own. However, they do say that the property is haunted. So maybe it wasn’t the climate control after all.

Attention to detail required

Quaint hotel in quaint town. After they resolved the initial mix-up over the type of room we booked the stay was OK however some attention to detail would have improved the stay - the elevator carpet (gross) and the stair carpet desperately need replacing. The noise from the street at night was loud and so until double-glazing is fitted you need to book a room with an odd number so you are not disturbed by traffic. The "free" breakfast doesn't commence until 9.00am and so was of no use to us - this should be publicized in the hotel description - which travelers on a road trip can hang around the hotel until 10.00am?

There are many things to criticize, the main thing is the service or lack thereof by the hotel personal, you simply can never find them. I like though to keep this positive, the place does have a nice old style charm. The most positive thing itself is downtown Defuniak Springs, at this time of the year its magical. We enjoed a stroll around the lake tremendously, the lights are beautiful. We came here for the night from the nearby Panama City and came to the conclusion that our much bigger city doesn't offer this kind of festivities. Panama City likes to use Hurricane Michael as an excuse for it's lack of a anything nice this time of the year, anything you find is by individuals and not by the city. My closing words to the hotel, try harder.

Arrived at the hotel at 5 pm to find the front desk dark and unstaffed. The key to my room was left on the counter along with my personal information. We proceeded to our room and observed that the hotel was run down. The paint was peeling off the walls in the hallway. We entered the room and it looked like it was frozen in time from 1970. Tried to turn on the tv and it didn’t work. The batteries in the remote were corroded. I went downstairs and was informed by the restaurant staff that there was no one on duty. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had.

It was such a beautiful historic hotel and area. I truly enjoyed walking around the spring and the quaint downtown. Unfortunately, it wasn't as pleasant a stay as I would've liked. The carpets in elevator and on stairway were worn and filthy. The couches and chairs in the lobby looked worn and the color concept needs updating. There are fake dusty plants in the lobby. And, I didn't have control over the thermostat in my room. It was boiling hot at night. I was given the opportunity to switch to a smaller room where the TV didn't work but ended up staying in my previous room. I tried to open the windows but the heater won. Suffice it to say I didn't get much sleep. This hotel has so much potential its a shame its not well maintained. All in all the staff was helpful and nice and the town itself along with the architecture were worth seeing.

When booking this hotel we were absolutely prepared for a “vintage” experience. What we actually received was something quite different. After booking our reservation we called and couldn’t quite get an adult to talk to on the phone, which was definitely our first red flag. Upon check in at 10pm we let our selves into the lobby with a provided code and then literally went over to the counter and picked up our key..which was next to other people’s keys and personal information. Not secure at all!! The room was dusty, with old rough sheets and ripped towels. The bed was U shaped and my husband and I spent the whole night back to back. The air conditioning was password protected and we were gifted the privilege of using an old window unit which was louder than a jet engine. Upon check out we searched for any form of life, and found no one. Just an empty lobby. We literally left our key on the table and walked our. When getting in our car we saw a women and an undressed child in the attached restaurant and asked if our checkout was complete. She gave us a wave and that was it. This place could be fantastic, but seriously needs some TLC. A good cleaning, new linens and a single employee would be a good place to start. We viewed it as glamping and it’s making for a good laugh with the friends and family. For the hotels sake, we hope they remedy their issues soon!

Beautifully restored hotel, large rooms with sitting area. Be aware there is NO staff. We were there two days and didn’t see another person. Also, breakfast was NOT provided as advertised. There was a sign at the desk indicating breakfast served daily but was not. Also, Sunday and Monday all the shops/restaurants are closed. It is a cute walkable town however.

Checkin was a disaster. Room with no shampoo, small button soap for $150 night hotel and two rooms. Felt completely cheated. Main lights in the room not working at the fan. No water no coffee in the room. I can go on and on. Feel bad that Expedia sold me the place as a great hotel paying over $300 for a night for two rooms and getting no value.
