The Waterfront Inn
Room was spacious and clean - everything up to date for a 20 year old hotel. Great location near Lake Sumter downtown. Good restaurant and outdoor pool and hot tub were very clean. Would highly recommend.

Brownwood Hotel & Spa
One of our favorite hotels in The Villages — friendly, efficient staff and consistently clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms. It’s both pet-friendly and business-friendly, and we especially enjoy the convenient access to the Wolfgang Puck restaurant.

Hampton Inn & Suites Lady Lake/The Villages
Have stopped here numerous times for convenience and price. This time, they charged $4 for parking... kind of ridiculous. Rates seem to have increased too. Probably won't be back
