"Clean room and a decent price, but service could be better. When my toilet clogged up, the staff did not offer to come and take care of it, but did "offer" a plunger. The complimentary breakfast is pretty skimpy." - a Hotels user

"BRING BUG REPELLANT AND SUN SCREEN (flashlight too for overnight)!!! My daughter and I took a "road trip" down thru Orlando to the Keys, up through the everglades and back around to Gainesville to celebrate her graduation. We stayed overnight in one of the chickee huts in August 2006. We arrived late afternoon, checked in at the gift shop and got information. We had a wonderful dinner in the Swamp Water Cafe. We enjoyed strolling around the grounds and then played scrabble(we brought it) on the back porch of our chickee while we watched a distant thunderstorm and watched a magnificent sunset and enjoyed the view out across the swamp. As it was off season, we were the only ones there other than a caretaker after they shut down at 5:30 p.m. When the sun went down the bugs came out so we went inside, read, visted and slept really well on the cots. We did hear many curious splashings throughout the night in the swamp right behind us but were not bothered by any "visitors" to our cabin or along the road. The next morning we enjoyed watching a huge gator gliding by in the swamp before we went to the center for showers and a great breakfast. We thouroughly enjoyed the airboat ride although it would have been nice if it could have been a few hours long. The swamp buggy ride was fascinating. Our guide filled us in on many of the plants and their uses, cultural history of the seminoles and so much more. We topped the afternoon off with the reptile and animal shows. Again, both highly informative with opportunities to see some critters close-up afterward. We purchased a few treasures in the gift shop and with great reluctance bid goodbye. The prices were reasonable (including our meals), the staff was helpful, kind, welcoming, informative and lots of fun. This is one place I hope to return to for an even longer stay at least once before I die." - a Yahoo user
