High Springs Country Inn

10/10 Excellent
"On the outside, this place looks like a 1950's-era roadside motel, so our room (116) was a pleasant surprise. It was clean and looked like it had been remodelled recently - new floors etc. The AC is a basic unit on the wall but that's what you'd expect. It worked great to mitigate the July Florida heat. The room itself was quite spacious and the beds were comfortable. There was a mini-fridge with a small working freezer, and a microwave, There was a decent rack for hanging clothes. Parking was good. I would have two suggestions for improvement. One would be to add some shelving or furniture where people can put their stuff. This place caters to cave divers and I imagine they share rooms. With all their gear, I bet they'd appreciate more places to get things off the floor. My other suggestion would be to use some of the extra floor space to enlarge and upgrade the bathroom. It's quite small. The sink is a tiny wall hanger with barely space under the faucet to wash your hands, and no counter space to keep toiletries. The shower worked but it was difficult to control the temperature. One note - we had three people and there was only one set of a bath towel, washcloth, and hand towel. I had to go ask at the desk for two more sets, but the clerk was very nice about getting me more when I asked. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone travelling the area on a budget. We used it because of its convenient location relative to Itchetucknee State Park."
