Stayed here at the last minute after the wifi in the hotel I was staying stopped working properly. WiFi here allowed me to carry on my business with no problems and even had an area in the lobby where I could print off anything I needed. The complimentary breakfast was far superior to other ‘free’ breakfasts that I’ve had previously. Will definitely be coming back here again when I’m in the area.

Book this hotel as needed to travel to Gainesville for Drag Racing, it was well situated only 25 miles away, journey into racing couldn't have been easier. We really liked Starke, good places to eat, Ganny's Kitchen is a must, fantastic food great service very friendly and cheap. The hotel was really a motel, clean but very small beds and bathroom was tiny, we stayed for 3 days and it suited our needs as we didn't spend time in room as out all day, literally just washed and slept there.

We had amazing time at the B&B, felt it was straight out of Gilmore girls. Amazing amenities and really friendly staff. Free bikes made it easy to explore the nearby area and breakfast was home cooked and really nice. The nicest place w stayed in out of all the hotels on our 10 day roadtrip around Florida.

I liked that it was within walking distance to a range of food and entertainment options. Parking in the area is limited, but there is an option to use the parking structure next door for a daily fee billed via the hotel.
