Excellent resort style facilities including a huge beautiful pool and an XL jacuzzi. However, there was an upcharge on almost everything, late checkout, lower floors, room not facing the parking lot, room with a little balcony and no breakfast at all.
The rooms were up to date and very clean, but there were few surfaces to put your bag or travelling stuff on.
This and the 'harried' service lowers this to being more like a HOTEL, than a longer (vacation ) stay Resort.
Location excellent, short walk to Sumter Landing town square

This hotel is a treasure in the heart of Sumpter Landing. So many great venues are just steps away. Restaurants, entertainment, shopping, all so close by. The hotel has spacious, clean well appointed rooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. The pool area has comfortable furniture and the pool is clean and heated. The views of the lake from the waterside are delightful.
We enjoyed cocktails at Calipso in the lobby area which were delicious and reasonably priced at happy hour (2-5 p.m.). We will be back soon!

The location was convenient and close by my son's house. It was very busy but felt totally safe with our surroundings.
All the staff we had interactions with were very nice EXCEPT for the woman that was working on Sunday morning. We needed to leave earlier than expected. The lady told my husband she would refund our 2nd night but she couldn't due to us booking through Expedia. She told him we had to call them.
We did & the guy I spoke with said he had to confirm with her that they would cancel, then he WOULD go ahead and cancel & refund our 2nd nights reservation.
He called her & she refused to cancel our 2nd night. She said they would still be charged for the room, which made no since because we, as a customer are the ones who pay for the rooms. Plus she already told my husband she would cancel it if the reservation was done through the hotel.
Since she told him no, he refused our request as well.
Due to that, I won't stay at this hotel or use Expedia again. I will go back to using choice hotels or The Hamptons, even if I have to drive further to where I need to go from a hotel stay.

The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. The staff were super helpful and friendly. It's within walking distance of tons of shopping and dining. The hotel bar looks out over the lake and is tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. The fitness center has a universal machine, free weights, treadmill and more, that was an added bonus for us. We would definitely stay here again!

I booked a one night stay and requested a late check-out during check-in. The receptionist advised that the latest available check-out time was 12:00pm, which was perfectly acceptable.

Unfortunately, there appeared to be a gap in communication regarding that request. Housekeeping knocked on my door at 8:30am. Then, at approximately 11:10am, a different housekeeper unlocked and entered my room without knocking. When I informed them that I had an approved late check-out, they stated they had not been notified. Entering an occupied room before the agreed upon check-out time is concerning from both a communication and guest privacy standpoint.
The room floors were sticky, and the bathroom lotion looked like it had been previously used, with approximately 1/4 of the product remaining.

Additionally, based on my check-in interaction, the reception desk's customer service seemed limited to standard procedures. While staff remained polite, it felt as though questions outside of the routine process were viewed as an inconvenience. This is not something I would typically focus on, but it contributed to my overall impression of the stay.
I will choose Brownwood Hotel next time. The rates for my travel dates were nearly identical ($1 difference, to be exact), and I selected the Waterfront Inn solely for a different experience.

All just OK......but I was booked & confirmed & charged for a Lake View room & was staring at parking lot. Neither Waterfront Hotel or Hotels.com did nothing about it except apologize.....Don't stay here or book with Hotels.com

Hotel was great. Its situated in a community that has plenty of restaurants, shopping and entertainment. We enjoyed walking into the community and eating at the many restaurants. You wouldn't have to drive at all. Even the hotel has a restaurant. There's a little nostalgia to the hotel where it feels dated. They do a good job with maintaining property and everyone is so nice. There's no breakfast but there's plenty to eat nearby you can walk to. Only negative that's not the hotel fault is these flying bugs that are nuisance. Sitting in the pool area you tend to see them more. Overall I would've stayed longer if I didn't have to leave because of appointments. The community is awesome and you won't be disappointed.

I didn't try the restaurant, hot tub, pool, etc.
The room I chose had a lovely view across the lake. The room was large and well lit with huge bright table lamps.

The bathroom was nice, except that it was too dark. My friends in two other rooms concurred with me. I had to go to the window or use the room lamps with a very small hand mirror that I had brought.

The coffee, microwave and fridge were in an alcove without a light, but ok due to the entry hall light. I liked the number of mirrors.

The staff were very nice. If I ever return to the Villages, I'll stay at the Waterfront Inn, again.
