Hidden gem in Lake City

My sister lives in Lake City, and we always had forgotten about this place. But, this time we remembered and tried it, and it was a super cool place. Very different layout with old school charm, great bed, great bathroom, and the kitchenette was super convenient also. Will definitely go back.

Parking is in the back of building. Only thing I didn’t like was the reach of their WiFi. It wouldn’t connect to one of the TVs in the room. Overall, it was super clean! Linens were full stocked. Would stay again

Second time just as charming as the first

Second time staying here and second time reviewing. This hotel is such a bargain. We did show up on a Sunday night, however. The town is kind of closed up on Sunday nights, so if you planned on enjoying a nice dinner in town, don’t stay on a Sunday night.

Elegant lobby and stair ways. Rooms updated and clean and well appointed. Muy room was right next to the road and each vehicle and bar across the street was heard. Ran the fan and white noise machine to bloke the noise.

This property is absolutely beautiful. The team were extremely responsive by text and we felt looked after in every way. It is worth noting that this is not your usual hotel in that there is no room service or restaurant on site. We took the recommendation of The Blanche team and ate at a wonderful local restaurant and had breakfast at an outstanding coffee bar the next morning. Thank you for such a lovely experience.
