The two bars /restaurants next door are both great places to relax and the lake makes for a great view. more on Yahoo! Travel

The only good thing about this place was the lake, even though I had a parking lot view. more on TravelPost.com

The place was adequate and cheap on our first visit, had coffee makers in room, and a basic breakfast, but has deteriorated rapidly since. more on TripAdvisor

The continental breakfast they served was also nice. more on Yahoo! Travel

For a weekend get-a-way, we upgraded to the best renovated lakeside room. more on TravelPost.com

This hotel used to be a Holiday Inn back in the 80's and then a Best Western in the 90's. Because of it's location on Lake Monroe, rodents and other creatures run amuck on the property. Rats can be heard running across the ceiling ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We have stayed at this motel twice a year for several years while attending a local function. We reserved a room for January upon departing on our last visit in September. When we arrived in January to check in, the motel would not ... more on Yahoo! Travel

There were not many vacancies in Sanford, due to reconstruction and a bike rally. So the hotel jacked up the price to $89.00 for a upstairs ... more on Yahoo! Travel

When we arrived to our room, one of the bathtub faucets was running, and it wouldn't turn off...they immediately put us in another room (much nicer also). Pool was clean and felt wonderful under the HOT sun. Staff was friendly. Very ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Sucked!. First off, the hotel changed hands after I booked my reservation almost a year in advance, and my rate went up over $200 for 3 nights! The room was so not worth the price. It was ugly, cramped, smelled bad and just awful. ... more on TravelPost.com

We love this hotel! Just outside Orlando, we go here often just to get away. The rooms are clean and well appointed. The staff is friendly and ... more on TravelPost.com

For a weekend get-a-way, we upgraded to the best ""renovated"" lakeside room. It smelled like smoke eventhough it was non smoking. It had a month collection of bugs (the desk clerk called them midges) on the blinds and window sill. ... more on TravelPost.com

I am very likely to return to the The Palms Island Resort and Marina. I would definitely recommend it to friends. more on TravelPost.com

Stayed there last night, 3/4/08, and was very dissatisfied. If it weren't for the fact that it was the only game in town, another Motel would have been chosen. The room was dirty, the vanity counter top was broken, ( I mean it was ... more on TravelPost.com
