I have always stayed at the Knights Inn over the years in Lake City, but I have heard some bad things about that place of late. I was looking to stay and play some golf in Lake City before going down to Venice and checked out the Hampton Inn in Lake City.
I was only going to stay one night, but the room was awesome, clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower had hot water, big towels, plenty of channels on the TV, a nice pool and it was very quiet. I stayed for four days and would recommend this motel to anyone. Plus the employees were all very nice and the breakfast was fantastic.
The price was a little expensive for northern Florida, but then again, Lake City was a small town and now it is up and coming very fast.
