The Blanche was lovely. We booked at the last minute and never saw a human because it’s code-based entry but the service was excellent. The person on the other end of the texts and emails was very friendly, helpful and responsive.

Stop over in Lake City
Beautifully restored old Hotel. Since there was no front desk, there was a lack of information, such as where to park. Perhaps some kind of welcome pack would have been nice. It would contain parking info., and Restaurant recommendations, delivery option etc.

Really liked the no-touch/no-complications checkin/out. Room was great, good space and clean... loud appliance on the counter (dehumidifier?) was really loud but we turned it to Low and was fine. Will stay again if overnighting in the area, definitely. All things equal, the only drawbacks are pricey and parking was not as close as usual hotel/motel lots are

Clean but VERY noisy
If you don’t mind noise this place is a good option for you. I was expecting a typical hotel room, but it’s similar to renting a bedroom in someone’s home. You hear everything from the other rooms from babies crying, people talking, water running to people coughing. It’s located downtown which is great when you want to walk to dinner or breakfast, but be prepared for the traffic, trains, and music. It’s a very clean hotel but very noisy.

Loved it!!!
Amazing, beautiful old hotel that is restored… incredibly clean, easy to access. I work locally as a physician on nights and I would love if they would do day rooms for when I need a place during the day. Cleanest hotel I have been to in the area by far.

Great hotel. Beautiful inside and parking was easy. Our room was great and bed was comfortable. Its an old building so expect old things (floors, doors) but it was great and safe. Will be back with the family.
