"We spent two nights in the Florida Room and loved it! It was very quiet while we were here, everything was clean, and the location is excellent. We enjoyed walking our dog over to Depot Park, and also being able to walk to places downtown. Communication was also beyond great. Our only suggestion would be that anyone who’s a sensitive sleeper bring a sleep mask because there are no curtains and the room becomes very bright in the morning. Great stay! :)"

"Communication with the Depot village staff was very efficient. They were on site and ready to help. The property listing was accurate and unit was clean. This stay helped to break our long travel with a good night's rest with the pups. The area was a little remote but we feel safe walking around the neighborhood with the dogs. Will definitely come back."
