Lovely off the beaten path stay. Walkable to what DeFunial Sorings is all about: the round lake surrounded by historic homes. The nearby restaurants were outstanding.

The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. There are no frills in the rooms but the bed is comfortable and the area is quiet. The restaurant is right next door. And they have an ice machine behind the lobby. It's a very nice small town to visit. There are several shops and other places to eat within walking distance. The walking paths are clean and the people are friendly.

We stayed here recently for a family wedding, and we were very pleased with our stay. The beds were super comfortable, the rooms were nice and cool and Chef Arnie was very inviting. It isn’t like a traditional hotel where there is someone at the desk 24/7, so if you’re a person who requires that kind of attentiveness, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. There is a number provided for any issues that you can call, but they split their time between the hotel and the adjoining restaurant. If we were to come back to Defuniak Springs, we would stay here again!

Stephanie was so helpful with our luggage. I had a plant I purchased prior to our visit and was concerned it wouldn't survive staying in the car. We put it on the sidewalk, and no one bothered it and Stephanie put a note on our car with a cute little drawing of the plant so we wouldn't forget to take it with us.

Wonderful step into the past. Check-in was a little confusing, but staff was helpful. Everyone at bar was extremely nice and welcoming. My only main complaint was the light coming in from window. Other than that it was a delightful stay

This is an interesting old hotel and you should only come if you really want to enjoy the advantage of stepping back in time. A journey the hotel is a lovely restaurant and the chef there is unbelievable. Be sure to tell him that we all said hello.

Staying here is an experience. It is a great experience if that is what you're looking for. The location is great. The library is unique (I loved it). There is no staff around, giving you a strong sense of independence. It is a beautiful, old-timey hotel. However, the ceiling lights did not work, and you couldn't look out the windows: they were frosted and were covered with a heavy, dark curtain.
