The location on the Suwannee river is beautiful. Riverside picnic shelter, barbecue grill, soccer-size field, and boat dock make the cabins an ideal location for a few days' family retreat. The motel rooms face U.S 19/98 and require full time AC noise to drown out highway sounds. No breakfast included.

My family and friends really enjoyed this wonderful "Old Florida" motel. This motel is just like the motels we stayed in as kids traveling in Florida with our parents. It brought back some great childhood memories. We docked our boat right behind the motel and were able to jump in the boat and take off down the Suwannee River. We... More

Very old and run down. Tv just had three channels that worked. Bathroom was horrid. Shower curtain torn and covered in black mold. Toilet so close to the wall. Ac/heat unit was sooo loud! This was the only hotel around, therefore they can charge what they do. It could be very nice. Beds are so uncomfy.

My name is Dawn Bell, from Marietta, GA. Pareesh and Vasanthi, the caretakers, were the epitome of grace and hospitality! The property there is absolutely breathtaking! My little dog and I spent the day lying on the raft right on the river water...I pretended like we were back in the day of Huck Finn...my little dog's name is Tucker, so... More

What a charming motel on the Suwannee River! Management was wonderful, the room was clean and we had a private dock to relax and fish. When we came back to the room at lunchtime, the maid had left me cut roses and a Happy Birthday note. So sweet! Planning on my next trip but this time I am bringing my... More

This is not - not - a luxury motel. Lower your expectations of room service, a great flat-screen TV, or a mint on your pillow. Think Florida in the 50's. However, the charms of the place are the friendly assistance of the owner/managers and its location. The grounds are immaculately kept; and the Suwannee River, viewed from a long dock... More

If you are looking for Old Florida, you will like this motel. Quiet, friendly and on the Suwannee River. Understand what "Old Florida" means: Vintage midcentury Americana. We stopped overnight during a mini road-trip because we wanted to be on the river. Our room was small but clean, and furnishings were dated but clean. Our room also had a TV,... More

On our way to Appalachicola, FL, we went through Old Town and passed over the Suwannee River. Just over the bridge going west, we passed the Suwannee Gables Motel and saw the chairs and picnic tables overlooking the river. We decided to stop there on our way back to the FL east coast. What a lovely jewel this is. The... More
