Hotel DeFuniak

When booking this hotel we were absolutely prepared for a “vintage” experience. What we actually received was something quite different. After booking our reservation we called and couldn’t quite get an adult to talk to on the phone, which was definitely our first red flag. Upon check in at 10pm we let our selves into the lobby with a provided code and then literally went over to the counter and picked up our key..which was next to other people’s keys and personal information. Not secure at all!! The room was dusty, with old rough sheets and ripped towels. The bed was U shaped and my husband and I spent the whole night back to back. The air conditioning was password protected and we were gifted the privilege of using an old window unit which was louder than a jet engine. Upon check out we searched for any form of life, and found no one. Just an empty lobby. We literally left our key on the table and walked our. When getting in our car we saw a women and an undressed child in the attached restaurant and asked if our checkout was complete. She gave us a wave and that was it. This place could be fantastic, but seriously needs some TLC. A good cleaning, new linens and a single employee would be a good place to start. We viewed it as glamping and it’s making for a good laugh with the friends and family. For the hotels sake, we hope they remedy their issues soon!

The personal service was outstanding. The best ever!

Great historic building with old school style hotel where the owner/chef is likely to check you in. It's not the Hilton and you are left alone to enjoy your privacy. Rooms are clean and the restaurant is classic style with great staff and food. Relax and enjoy authentic small town American hospitality.

Nice lobby. Friendly staff. Orbitz says breakfast but that isnt so. Bed covers could use an update. Room 12 has a lot of traffic noise and front stained glass window needs a curtain.

Cute 1920s time period. However, no one to greet you or how to get into the hotel. The bed was not a queen size but a full size. One of had to sleep on the divan. No extra blankets. Minimal towels. Ceiling fans caked with dust. Then there was the cockroaches, some type of flying stick like creature and a wasp. No breakfast. Had coffee but no water. Parking was on the street

We checked in late. But there was a key with our invoice showing our names & room over the counter. That was nice. A lady came by spoke to us. The lobby was pretty. There was an elevator. A plus. At our age we appreciated it. Our room. We were not impressed. Two thin pillows. Sink faucet was dirty. No hair conditioner. I have long hair & needed it. From the toilet seat, I could see under the bed was filthy. The curtains were thin & not fully covered the morning lights. The whole things changed my 4star review to a 2-3 star.

Very friendly , Hotel was charming, food in walking distance amazing.

My stay was awesome. Looked completely updated/renovated. The restaurant was absolutely amazing. Chef Ernie is very nice and the food was the best around. Defuniak is lucky to have this guy there. The staff was friendly and the whole place was very clean. I travel regularly in that area and will stay again.

Quaint hotel in quaint town. After they resolved the initial mix-up over the type of room we booked the stay was OK however some attention to detail would have improved the stay - the elevator carpet (gross) and the stair carpet desperately need replacing. The noise from the street at night was loud and so until double-glazing is fitted you need to book a room with an odd number so you are not disturbed by traffic. The "free" breakfast doesn't commence until 9.00am and so was of no use to us - this should be publicized in the hotel description - which travelers on a road trip can hang around the hotel until 10.00am?

Great hotel!! Love cafe Nola!!
