The location in Sumpter Landing at the Villages was exceptional. The building is quaint with excellent lake front views and walkable pathways. The food here is great and the bar was super cozy and fun.

Fabulous hotel with a superb location. Staff extremely friendly!

Adele, United States of America

everything was better after I got a room exchange; initially was over the parking lot and was charged at higher rates because of agency internet scheduling and higher charges - despite the fact that rooms were available at lower rates at the time I visited. Staff accommodated my requests for room change and lower rates, however.
