Room was clean enough, beds were comfortable, however for the money paid there was zero amenities. For example, one bar of soap between the bathroom sink and shower. No coffee in the room or in the lobby. No Wi-Fi in the room. I also found it very unappealing how there were two signs at the lobby door saying that "management frowns on sightseers". ##### randi Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### John 13 Feb 2026 Very nice staff. Cash only was less than ideal but managed. Room was not in great condition. Clean but the TV didn’t work and the flood lights on the signage in front shined into the windows. Very accommodating folks and great people but not a modern operation by any stretch of the imagination. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rena 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great bang for the buck Very cool main lobby, lots of interesting details. Pet fee was reasonable and rooms were nice. Easy access to Everglades. Seemed like we were there out of season because a lot of businesses had closed up for summer but we had fun regardless. Only hang up was cash only which they had included in their confirmation but I just totally forgot. We were able to go to the convenience store to get cash but there were fees so just come prepared. ##### Rena Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great independent, family owned lodge.

Have always enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere of the Rod and Gun Club. While traveling in the area, we decided to stay over night. The rooms upstairs have not been rented out for many many years, but they offer a few double unit cottages. The rooms were in need of updating. The bathroom was very tiny. We found it over priced for the value. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ryan 12 Jun 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities This place looks nothing like the pictures. The entire town has not recovered at all from the hurricane. Very sad to see. When we pulled in it was like a ghost town no one around at all I’m certain we were the only people there. We decided it looked unsafe to stay so we left ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mike 22 May 2024 The AC needs to be upgraded. Hard to sleep due to the AC not cooling as it should ##### Mike Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### John 3 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Hotel is a fun, historic property in need of a lot of maintenance. The rooms in the main building are not open, and the cabins are very basic, with window air conditioning units. The main building has scaffolding up on the sides for wood repair and painting, but no work was being done while we were there. Some of the property is closed off with orange tape, as the docks and an out building were damaged years ago and never repaired. The water to the hotel was shut off for 4 hours from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, with no compensation offered by the hotel. Bring cash, no credit cards accepted and no notice of that fact. It was a historic and vintage hotel many years ago, but is now very tired. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### katherine 11 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We're so glad we stayed here instead of getting discouraged by earlier reviews! We had a peaceful, fun time at Rod & Gun Club in the middle of July and we don't even fish. Josh at the front desk was helpful when we called ahead and then kind and accommodating when we arrived. The main structure/dining hall is very cool and our cabin was clean, air-conditioned when we arrived, comfy enough beds and views of the water. If you're looking for round-the-clock service from the staff, this is not the place for you. But if all you need is a quiet, air-conditioned views in an interesting setting (with the option to dine in a charming historic structure) then I think you'll have a great time! Dog friendly, low-key, cash only - we will be back on our next trip to the Everglades! ##### katherine Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard 4 Jan 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities There are three different owner/managers with three different policies. For example, one manager will accept Venmo but another will only take cash; one manager will stay late and allow you to sit on the veranda and enjoy a drink and dessert, while the other will ask you to leave before you're finished with your food because he's "got stuff to do" - at 830 pm on a Saturday night. The wait staff couldn't be sweeter, but the unpredictable and unprofessional management is atrocious. ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Renae 20 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The emails sent to us after we made our reservation advertised lunch and dinner served. We arrived at 7:30 pm. What we didn't understand was that when dinner ended at 8pm, the hotel staff locked up the main lodge and went home. The internet is only available in the main lodge (not in the cottages) and our phones only had 1-2 bars. They told us when we checked in, that the lodge would not be open for lunch (despite our recent email). When it was time to check out at 11am, we were hoping to see the historic lodge (why we stayed there) as we didn't get to see it the night before and also wanted to see it in daylight - it was still all closed up so we didn't get to see the building or grounds. This was disappointing as we had chosen to stay here to see this historic sight. With the upfront mention of our challenges and disappointments, the staff are friendly, the rooms are rustic with bare essentials covered, and what little we got to see of the lodge was beautiful. I would recommend, when making your reservation to find out the lodge hours they are serving food and arrive early in those hours to soak in the history. And be aware, if you or your family needs internet access - it is limited. ##### Renae Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Doug 26 Jun 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness We were banned from the property! They only answer their phones sporadically. You may or may not have a reservation unless you talk to the front desk. Good luck. It is not staffed. The public bathroom in the lobby has cobwebs draped from the ceiling like it may bed Halloween. Our room was not made up. Dirty towels, beds unmade, wastebasket full, cigar butts in the ashtray. We attempted to find staff to make up our room, but at 8pm the entire place was locked up. No lights. No one there. The food was excellent for our only meal there. Two fish dinners and 4 beers. Total bill $140.00 Yes, one hundred forty dollars. The single boat launch is okay, and you can tie up in front. Bring you own lines. There is a freshwater connection on the seawall. The male manager called us because we returned to the place and got our room charge back due to the dirty room. $160 in cash. They take NO credit cards. Cash only. You cannot put a hold on a credit card payment. We were lucky that the very nice young lady at the desk gave us a refund. The owner/manager said to us, "Don't ever f------ come back here! We lost $150 on the room. You're f------banned for life! Oh well, we would not return to such poor service and high prices and incompetent management. And no credit cards? Only cash? Hmmmmm. ##### Doug Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Simon 23 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wenn man ankommt wird man 100Jahre in der Zeit zurück versetzt. Sehr cooles und altes Cottage. In der Nacht einwenig spuki aber echt Toll. Wir haben 2 Nächte dort verbracht und es sehr genossen. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter 29 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was really great the main building was facinating, strait out of the 30,s. Only down side was no tea or coffee making facilitys in the room. Great location on the river. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > - [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > - [Windsor Island Resort 612](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Resort-612.h71636495.Hotel-Information) > - [Apple Pie Private Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Apple-Pie-Private-Villa.h22674959.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ambassador Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Ambassador-Hotel.h13278583.Hotel-Information) > - [Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Compass-Hotel-By-Margaritaville.h41961327.Hotel-Information) > - [Island Cottage Inn - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Island-Cottage-Oceanfront-Inn.h42071285.Hotel-Information) > - [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > - [South Seas Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-South-Seas-Island-Resort.h40732.Hotel-Information) > - [PGA National Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Gardens-Hotels-PGA-National-Resort-And-Spa.h10355.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > - [Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Hammock-Beach-Golf-Resort-Spa.h994170.Hotel-Information) > - [Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/River-Ranch-Hotels-Westgate-River-Ranch-Resort-Rodeo.h899141.Hotel-Information) > - [SASSA Boutique Homes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crystal-River-Hotels-SASSA-Boutique-Homes.h46329014.Hotel-Information) > - [Southern Dunes - 1414 Park By Fairytale VR](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lakeland-Winter-Haven-Hotels-Southern-Dunes-1414-Park-By-Fairytale-VR.h37026919.Hotel-Information) > - [GreenLinks Golf Villas at Lely Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-GreenLinks-Golf-Villas-At-Lely-Resort.h908559.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury 5 Bedroom Villa on Champions Gate Resort, Orlando Villa 1756](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vero-Beach-Hotels-Luxury-5-Bedroom-Villa-On-Champions-Gate-Resort.h48555169.Hotel-Information) > - [New tiny house available in the country on a 5 acre motocross track MX ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myakka-City-Hotels-New-Tiny-House-Available-In-The-Country-On-A-5-Acre-Motocross-Track-MX.h35668895.Hotel-Information) > - [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > - [ January Available!!
