Great Location and Comfy Beds
The hotel location is excellent for walking access to Sumter Landing restaurants and activities. The staff is very kind and helpful. The beds are super comfortable, and the hotel bar has a beautiful view of the lake. Areas for Improvement: There is a huge area rug in the bedroom— it’s filthy. The lobby has very limited seating. So if you’re looking for an indoor area to read the paper and sip your coffee, you’re out of luck.

Great location
We had a nice stay. Hotel was under some renovations but it didn’t really affect our stay. Great location! It is within walking distance of the town square.

Great hotel and a fun town
This place is amazing, the hotel is beautiful from the outside and inside. The view of the lake is stunning. It is walking distance from a town full of fun. Highly recommend coming here. I would get out early. The town shuts down at 9:00 p.m.. so start your day early.
