You expect quaint. You get unsafe, unsanitary and rudeness. You realize from the check-in through a tiny gated slot that this is not going well. You climb the rickety stairs up and follow the uneven hallway down to the room and use your old fashioned door key to enter. Inside the room is extremely outdated, mismatched, and smells of old Chinese food. The sheets are stained. There is no AC in the Florida summer. There are wire hangars in the open closets. It feels depressing, dank and eerie like you are in a horror movie or a made for tv movie drama about a single mom escaping an abusive husband down on her luck who has to stay here just to hide herself and her children. We immediately returned to the check-in slot to request a refund and were denied. We had paid $500 for two nights at this disastrous place and both the property and Expedia refused to correct this travesty. I forgot to mention they charged extra beyond what Expedia had already charged at the check-in. Lesson learned: don't trust any photos on Expedia, only other travelers' reviews. I should have relied more heavily on those but I was drawn in by the romance of a vintage hotel on the lake. Instead if you want to enjoy Florida lake life (although who really does now with all the alligators in the news?!) stay at the nearby Best Western Plus.

I stayed in room #209 and the bathroom was ridiculous. The toilet was very small and look like it was made for a toddler. Each time I sat on the toilet it moved and felt as if it was going to detach from the floor. I’ve never seen a toilet so small, I’m in my 60’s and have traveled the world extensively but this toilet was shockingly little. The tub was also very small. We should have been warned in advance that our room was for little people. I booked the room through Trivago; I’m wondering if my room was “downsized” because of the booking.
The entire motel needs renovation, the stairs are metal and rickety, and a couple of the steps actually moved when I stepped on them. The furniture and the appliances in the room are out dated and look like they were purchased in the 70’s.
I was disappointed, but I can say that the beds were comfortable, but please renovate and update.

The room showed its age -- furnishings were pretty banged up -- but it was spacious, and featured a good shower, a comfortable bed, and a patio. The two-star rating is due to one serious problem. The floor apparently hadn't been washed in a LONG time. Our feet and our socks were instantly VERY dirty simply from walking around the room. I've never encountered anything like this in a hotel room before. It was gross. If they get their housekeeping act together, this could be a decent, reasonably-priced option in Winter Haven.

I love this property because it’s been part of Winter Haven’s history for decades. The new owners have been there for quite awhile now and they keep it very quaint and nice. It’s right on lake Roy, which is part of the chain of lakes and the living waters boat cruises can pick you up and drop you off there at the resort if you ask them nicely. The pool is warm and inviting and the property at night is beautiful and the sunsets are breathtaking. The rooms are a little outdated but they’re clean and comfortable and the management is very kind and accommodating. You get a lot of bang for your buck here. Perfect place for a respite.

Old motel

This is an old motel. You check in outside at a window because they have closed the lobby. The price was lower than anything else around and had good reviews. I would not stay here as a single female. There were two doors in my room that were locked, leading to other hotel rooms, and it would have been pretty easy to break into the room. Traffic is really loud outside too. It has a 1950’s vibe. They said, the rooms were clean, sheets immaculate, bathroom was dated but clean. There was no shampoo in the room. It worked for 1 night, but made me, a middle aged guy a little uneasy.

I loved the hotel, we got the room facing the lake. It was a lakefront room. We had chairs in a screen room, facing the lake. It was a bit older, but the serenity was awesome. The owners are a older Chinese couple, and they were great and polite.
The lights on the wooden fence were beautiful, well maintained grass, and grounds. The room was great, comfy bed, and a spare blanket for cold nights. And the peace and quiet was great, unlike, modern hotels, you hear a lot of people, not this place.
