Hotel DeFuniak

This place was wonderful! The crew was great, the restaurant was very good and it was a small town. We loved the walk around the lake, and enjoyed karaoke with the family at the restaurant. It is such a vool little place and a unique experience. Our family had a wonderful time here.

Stayed here on road trip heading west. Its a real gem- a totally unique building and hotel in a really lovely town. The hotel checkin was contactless but super easy and the room was unique in a fun and good way. Clean and big enough for one night.

We loved the look of this hotel. The staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. We did not like that we reserved what we thought was two separate bedrooms, but when we got inside the room the bedrooms were open to each other. The beds were not comfortable. We also did not appreciate that the room was right next to a busy highway so we could hear every car that passed.

Cute rooms at great prices. Clean!

I took my mother to Hotel Defuniak for Mother's Day weekend to enjoy some quiet and a touch of history. I read mixed reviews after booking and was hoping the negative ones were wrong. They were not. We stayed in the Presidential Suite, and it was definitely the worst place I've ever booked. When we walked in, there was dust so thick across the headboard of the main bed my mom was going to sleep in that I had to take toilet paper and wet it some just to wipe it off. Even the comforter had stuff all over the top. In the corner of the room between the main bed and the bunks was a large amount of sand where shoes has obviously been sitting, and the shag rug nearby was filthy. It had clearly not been vacuumed. Around the base of the toilet, there was dried urine in large amounts. Someone also left part of their glasses in the room that were still there, so that tells you how efficient "house cleaning" was. My mom was a great sport with things, but they got more interesting as the night went on and we fell alseep. Someone came into the room- literally through two locked doors. My mom heard the door opening and began waking in time to hear, "There's someone in here." They left, but really? Could not even report this because there was noone waiting when we checked in or out. And we left pretty quickly in the morning. The only plus was maybe Cafe Nola, but even it did not live up to what I had heard. It was good, but nothing that wowed you. The nicest part of our trip was Perla's.

the hotel is truly gorgeous. complete with its own restaurant bar. nice high ceilings, working A/C, etc. The only issue i really had was a room mix up, and the fact that all the staff immediately goes to work in the restaurant so you have to go looking for assistance if you have need of anything.

Cute small town vibe with a walking trail and historic sites. The US oldest library. Nice restaurant and bar downstairs.

The hotel is within walking distance to restaurants and the cafe on the first floor was good. The staff there was friendly. As hotel guests, it was frustrating that there was no hotel staff to talk to - especially when we ran out of toilet paper. There was no extra in the room and calling the hotel didn’t get me to a person to ask about the TP. It would have been nice to have someone talk to.

I loved that it was very close to the historic district. The staff were very friendly, especially chef Ernie, whose food was delicious!
