Goble Palms Lodge is just stunning. The place is beautiful, incredibly well kept, the rooms are a dream, so stylish. Yummy breakfast. The honesty bar has a wonderful vibe. The area is safe and it's walking distance to Florida street. I hope to return some day!

I really liked how clean and well-maintained everything was — from the rooms to the shared areas. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a getaway. The staff were warm and welcoming, and it felt more personal than a hotel. I also appreciated the little touches like fresh towels, fast Wi-Fi, and a cozy breakfast spot. Overall, it was comfortable, quiet, and felt like home.
