3 Star Hotels in DeLand

Only 8 rooms in the Hotel but it was great. Décor had been updated in the last three years, Central heat and air. Hard wood floors were beautiful. Quality bed, fixtures and décor. Over 100 channels on two flat screen televisions. Piano bar with live music. Very nice café for breakfast, dinner and lunch. Located in the heart of Leland Fl. A college town so plenty of restaurant's and entertainment. Check in was great, nice courteous staff. Tile floor and shower.

We were in town for some business and looked at ratings of several hotels in the area - none had good ratings so we took a chance on what looked like a beautiful spot. We were not sorry. The lobby contains all types of interesting old postal items. It was the Manager's 2nd day and but he was very cordial and walked us to our room. The room was small, as expected but very cute and cozy. Beds were comfortable and shower was great. I was chilly that night and could have used a blanket on the beds. We went to the bar to hear karaoke and have a night cap. Nice people and fun time, even met the lovely owners. Our room was behind the bar, but we did not hear any loud music or noise. As our business was not quite completed in time for check out the next day, they very graciously allowed us a late check out. We had an excellent brunch in the café - some of the best eggs benedict I have ever eaten. We unfortunately left some items in the room and upon calling found that the owner had locked them up and was returning to us by mail, which may not have happened anywhere else - we were very lucky and thankful. We can't wait to go back - the Inn is right down the street from Blue Springs State Park and the owner informed us that there were boat ramps a short ways away for access to the St John's River. The 1876 Inn was a wonderful find and did not disappoint (teaches you not to always go by the reviews)!

We had an outstanding host and hostess, they made us feel welcome.
