Hotel DeFuniak

We liked everything about it. The staff went above and beyond. The bed and pillows were wonderful. The room was spacious and comfortable. We love the historic look of the whole hotel. Walking to the lake and downtown restaurants and stores was close by. The attached restaurant was amazing. We will be back

This hotel was really cool. Had a lot of historical charm. The people were very friendly. Even the ghosts .

There are many things to criticize, the main thing is the service or lack thereof by the hotel personal, you simply can never find them. I like though to keep this positive, the place does have a nice old style charm. The most positive thing itself is downtown Defuniak Springs, at this time of the year its magical. We enjoed a stroll around the lake tremendously, the lights are beautiful. We came here for the night from the nearby Panama City and came to the conclusion that our much bigger city doesn't offer this kind of festivities. Panama City likes to use Hurricane Michael as an excuse for it's lack of a anything nice this time of the year, anything you find is by individuals and not by the city. My closing words to the hotel, try harder.

Attached restaurant with great food. Charming.

It was such a beautiful historic hotel and area. I truly enjoyed walking around the spring and the quaint downtown. Unfortunately, it wasn't as pleasant a stay as I would've liked. The carpets in elevator and on stairway were worn and filthy. The couches and chairs in the lobby looked worn and the color concept needs updating. There are fake dusty plants in the lobby. And, I didn't have control over the thermostat in my room. It was boiling hot at night. I was given the opportunity to switch to a smaller room where the TV didn't work but ended up staying in my previous room. I tried to open the windows but the heater won. Suffice it to say I didn't get much sleep. This hotel has so much potential its a shame its not well maintained. All in all the staff was helpful and nice and the town itself along with the architecture were worth seeing.

The Cafe Nola was excellent, the staff was nice. The room was okay, as the second 'bedroom' was open to the first, and had a creaky, metal bunkbed for kids. Was too expensive. The shower was great, but the room was right by the main road with no 'block-out' curtain (so it was noisy and BRIGHT every time a car drove by. Access to the lake with the walking path was great. A mixed bag, really. I gave the stay a 4, but the room was a 3 and the food was a 5, so 4 is the average.

I can appreciate history ……

We always stay at Hotel Defuniak when traveling in west Florida.

Quaint place

Easy self checkin. Great restaurant bar. Love the old hotel features.
