Hotel DeFuniak

Great stay!

I think people forget that this is an old building and it’s not meant to have some of the modern properties and features new ones do but the room was great, very clean and comfy. It’s a quiet area basically down town and it has small town charm all around. It’s not far from the interstate but far enough to feel disconnected. The staff was super friendly even though this is more of a self serve place. They did advertise free breakfast but I didn’t see it 😅 other than that, I can’t wait to stay again.

Great little hotel, if you are looking for a “mom and pop” kind of experience this is it. Has a convenient restaurant and bar on the first floor. Close to mayor highways. I would recommend and if I happen to be in the area again I would definitely stay here

We loved the location. DeFuniak Springs is a lovely town. The hotel was disappointing in that there wasn’t anyone present unless the restaurant was open. We never saw breakfast which was supposed to be included. A smoke detector battery in the hallway needed to be changed and beeped the entire time we were there. Wall clocks in lobby and in room weren’t working. When I made the reservations, I paid an extra $100 as requested by the hotel. I have no idea what this money was for. We will not return.

Arrived at the hotel at 5 pm to find the front desk dark and unstaffed. The key to my room was left on the counter along with my personal information. We proceeded to our room and observed that the hotel was run down. The paint was peeling off the walls in the hallway. We entered the room and it looked like it was frozen in time from 1970. Tried to turn on the tv and it didn’t work. The batteries in the remote were corroded. I went downstairs and was informed by the restaurant staff that there was no one on duty. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had.

Unique location and interesting story. Room clean but very spartan with minimal bed coverings and pillows. Most rooms front the street and hence very noisy. There is no staff so this is a self-service location. The associated restaurant/bar was great but not sure the connection to the hotel. Again calling this a hotel may be a stretch as its just a location with a bed/shower and auto-check-in

Chef Ernie was amazing. Full of history about the hotel. Made us feel welcome. The restaurant is a must!! He blew us out of the eater with his food. Going back in a few months for a longer stay.

Nice old woodworking.

Quaint, clean and quiet.

Hotel DeFuniak, there was no staff when we arrived but I soon realized that I didn't read the special instructions that was sent to me with the confirmation. My wife and I researved a room about 30 mins before arriving and figured there would be someone manning the front desk. The hotel does not have a staff, and guests should call before arriving to set up the arrival. The hotel was attached to a restaurant called Cafe NOLA. A couple of the cafe's employees asked if we needed help and one of them came and checked us in. So if you stay, make sure you call ahead of time. The building that the hotel is in, is an old masonic lodge with Freemason systems on the top of the building. The inside of the hotel was cute and looked like it was from the pages of the 1920s. The hotel is two stories, the rooms located on the 2nd floor. Our room faced the street below. We were surprised how loud the noise of the street was as cars drove by. The floors were real hardwood and I wouldn't be surprised if they were the original flooring. As we walked across our room, the floors would squeak with every step. The room was small but very charming. I was impressed with how clean it was. The room also had a mini frig and flat-screen tv. The furniture
