How cute is this building! Marylynn who runs it was very friendly and helpful, our room was very clean and was filled with beautiful antiques… It’s not the Marriott people it’s much more in my opinion, feels like old Florida which I love! Overall we had a great experience!

Marilyn is the all-in-one person here and she does her best to keep up, but it is really up to the non-present owners to get this place back in shape. We had a good experience here during the Everglades ultras but there is a lot that needs to be fixed. The place is just in a state of disrepair and it’s not Mayilyn’s fault. We had ants(which Mayilyn’s did her best to spray for) and we had fixtures that were not working and many other things which make me think this place will not be able to keep going much longer if the owners done put some time and $$ into getting the place back in shape. My wife just said, «Gordon Ramsey would have a field day with this place…» As previous people have said, there is no breakfast at this B&B. Also, security is non existent. But, this sleepy little town probably doesn’t have a ton of crime, nonetheless, everything is unlocked 24×7. New ownership might turn this place around, but the current owners — whomever they might be — clearly have no interest in keeping this place competitive. It certainly could be fully booked from after Christmas until after Easter — their busy season — if they put in the time and effort to make it clean, operational, safe, and welcoming… Again, I spent time talking to Marilyn and she can’t be expected to be the one to turn this place around. It comes from leadership from the owners, not the single person they have hired to be the registration desk, maid, maintenance person, facilities services, and security… Anyway, I would stay here again and upgrade my review if the owners would take charge and make repairs and improvements. Oh, BTW, the emergency Fire exit on the second floor is padlocked form the outside. If there’s a fire on the first floor, everyone on the second floor will likely perish. Everyone else we chatted with that stayed there during the Everglades Ultras was like, «Nope, never again…» As far as staying there. Owners, are you getting this message. Also, no internet. No ability to take credit cards. This could be solved with a simple SQUARE account — for credit cards — and a short visit from the local internet provider… It seems like they had Internet at one time, but now — like everything else — it no longer is working…

Do not stay at this place. This place is dirty and unprofessional. The house keeper does not stay on the premises because she is also a bartender across the street. So when you walk in, you have to call her cell to get her. It does not surprise me if theft is high at this place because anyone can just walk in because no one is there. Yes it is in an old bank but like I said it’s really dirty. How dirty? There was a pile of dirty clothes in the floor in the public bathroom on the first floor. Oh and they don’t serve breakfast. This place is not a bed and breakfast, it’s more like a flop house.

It’s a converted bank and you stay in one of the departments(e.g. mortgage, savings etc…). We stayed in the Safety deposit room. The décor here is great and makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. There are some features around the place that don’t let you forget that this used to be a bank(the safe, a massive cash register style thingy). Breakfast is not served as such but it’s in the fridge in your room. Muffins, cereal, juice, yoghurt, apples, water, waffles, bagels(toaster in the corridor). way too much for us to eat. But fine and enough to keep you going on your exploration of the everglades. We seemed to keep missing the owner, arriving whilst she was at dinner and leaving before she arrived in the morning. We did catch her briefly in the car park and she was lovely and completely cool about us paying the next day just by leaving the money in our room. She does leave a lot of notes for you though and her phone number is dotted about. I suppose you could get cheaper accommodation around here but this is a bit more special. My only gripe was that air-con unit in our room was so noisy it kept me awake most of the night. If you’re a heavy sleeper you should be fine, I just wake with the slightest sound.
