Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was very clean. The bathroom was particularly clean. The beds mattresses are aging. The exterior door at the end of our hallway doesn’t look like it is sealed off from the outside so it lets a lot of cold air or hot air in to the building. There is a one inch gap between the sill and the door. The room doors need sound insulation and a tighter fit. In general, I believe the State of Florida has neglected this gem and needs to put some money in to it to modernize the rooms and baths, HVAC system etc. There is a lot to preserve that is worthwhile but the building is starting fall apart. State stewardship is needed. Low taxes don’t mean anything if state assets are depreciating, particularly something as important as the state’s only lodge and a true historical flagship public asset.
