Beautiful stay and visit in the Villages

Our room was a king suite with a view of the lake. It was better than we imagined. The weather was cold so we couldn't sit outside but the windows provided an awesome view. The employees were very friendly wishing us a great day each time we left and a welcome home each time we returned. We had an awesome week!

The Waterfront Inn in the Villages was perfectly located for our visit and stay in the Lake Sumpter square area. The staff was welcoming and helpful and ...fun! Great service from the front desk and the onsite restaurant staff. The hotel was perfectly adequate - just not quite as luxurious as the Brownwood in the Brownwood square area. The price was fair and the room was clean with comfortable beds.

Excellent location and very friendly staff. Bed linens were very low quality. Sheets were very scratchy and pillows were horrible. Could use some overall updating.
