Everyone at the lodge was pleasant and helpful. We had a great hike, a pleasant dinner and breakfast, and saw so many manatees. There were renovations in progress and it was very cold out but that didn’t bother us at all. The very nice staff more than make up for little inconveniences.

Very basic room. Old hotel! Fuse blew when I turned on light. Check amenities. Very little. This is not like a typical hotel room. Beds not comfortable or big enough for 2 people (double + twin room). Had shared room with door that locks on both sides. NOT SOUND proof! Room cold but it was very cold and windy outside (20s at night, 40 during day with high winds). Restaurant was good. Employees in Parlor very kind and social. Was beautiful lodge and manatees outside but will probably stay somewhere else next time.

1.Towels with holes in them 2.Staff was making so much noise in the hallway that I could not rest 3. We were treated like second class citizen, instead of paying customers 4. It would of been nice to have known the elevator was broken before we rented the room 5. It would have been nice to have known that the restaurant was going to be closed the whole time we were there for a private event 6. I didn't see how that the ADA was honored especially with so many people there using walking sticks and walkers 4.

Beautiful find. Clean, relaxing, friendly staff, delicious food in restaurant. Had breakfast and dinner, and had ice cream in the "Parlor" which has soups, hot dogs, and all sorts of treats. No TV distraction. TV in lobby plays "Creature from the Black Lagoon" on loop as it was partially filmed here. Amazing history, I could image what it would have been like in 1937 when it was built. Nice boat ride with the most wildlife I have seen living in Florida my entire life. Saw probably 20 alligators, 15 manatees, and various different species of turtles and birds and even an otter at the boat dock. Look forward to visiting in the summer.

Old hotel with a lot of charm, and the location within a state park was ideal. I would recommend (especially during slow periods) that the hotel guests be provided with complimentary passes to enjoy the boat rides on the Springs rather than having to pay the standard admission fee. The food in the Lodge's restaurant was expensive and dreadful. I ordered a chicken breast which was lukewarm and slathered under an unidentifiable milk sauce. The meal actually gave me a stomachache. When I mentioned this issue to the checkout clerk the next morning, without evening maintaining eye contact with me he said 'he'd let the kitchen know'. Judging from this reaction something tells me the kitchen will remain uninformed.

Historic lodge in a state park overlooking a Wakulla Spring and run. Elevator rebuild was underway so stairs were the only option to access rooms. Check in was easy. Rooms were relatively large and quite clean. Restaurant staff were very helpful and breakfast was delicious. Glass bottom boat rides are available and there are several miles of walking and hiking trails in the park.
