Staff could be more welcoming. No enthusiasm and did not ask about any needs we may have - important since the water to the hotel will be shut off overnight. Also, no elevator service. Dinner as wonderful - very attentive staff and excellent food!

The room was great. They were replacing the elevator so that was a minor inconvenience. The lodge is a very nice old historic lodge. The Wakulla spring is a gem out the back lawn. There are nature trails starting at the lodge going around in the surrounding park.
