This place was more than we expected! I read the other reviews and was surprised by the dislike of the property by some of the reviewers. I agree it wasn't a 5-star establishment or the Ritz Carlton but all the other elements like the lakefront access to other lakes in the chain, the homey atmosphere by the wonderful owners who... more

We thought with the pictures online that it would be an great place to stay! Although, it may be somewhat of a landmark in Winter haven it would not be a place that I would recommend staying. When we arrived, after 6 we had to call someone to let us in to get our room. We wanted to be able... more

This was the worst experience I have ever had. The customer service is VERY bad! We were treated like crap!!!! Worse than crap! After they got our money (over $150 per night) they refused to help us with anything! I cannot believe that anyone would rate this place as good! As for the boating, do NOT go! You will be... more

Needed to be in the area because of family and we only stayed here because it was "Pet friendly". We loved it and will go back with or without my canine children. It is old and run down but clean and comfortable. Tile floors and no dog smell like most "pet friendly" hotels. Renovations are in progress. Spacious living room,... more

found on internet; made reservation via phone; "Ed" honored discount rate we found on line at $54.20 (before taxes) rather than $78.00/night; clean, quiet, free unsecure wifi, beds 4out of 5, shower 4/5, ac noisy but tolerable; this is a family run inn and they are hard workers trying to bring it back to its "glory days" look. No bugs,... more

Dec 11 through the 12th 2008 - We had booked the room through the 14th, but ONE night was all we could take. I booked based on ratings and I still cannot imagine why someone would give this place high ratings. The room is not worth the full price charged. Old, old, old. Bad matresses, AC was covered with aluminum... more

I expected more after having read the reviews. I requested a renovated room when I made the reservation, and again when I checked in. All I have to say is if our room was renovated I'm afraid to see the rooms that are not!! Paper thin sheets, towels, and 1-ply tp. My husband and I didn't feel comfortable here at... more

We stayed here three nights (Sun-Tues) and enjoyed it. The hotel is basic, but clean and comfortable, with a great setting right on the lake. It is a little rough around the edges... Kind of like they got the blush on but haven't quite gotten to the lipstick. But it was fine for us. Improvements appear to be in process.... more

My husband and I booked the Lake Roy Beach Inn after reading the wonderful reviews on Tripadvisor and wondered if we stayed in the same hotel! We clearly didn't have one of the renovated rooms and glad we were only booked to stay for one night. We stayed in Room 210 and found the place in need of some updating.... more
