When some friends on ours stayed at the Waterfront Inn all they had to do to get a Villages Resident discount was give them the resident ID number of a resident when they get their reservations.

How did you get such a great rate? We're coming down next month and are paying over $140 per night (AAA) discount.

We have stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at Spanish Springs. Found it to be very convenient and clean. They allow dogs which is most important to us. They give us a first floor room close to the rear door so we can take Merlin out w/o having to go thru the lobby. Breakfast is the quicky hot stuff but adequate.

We just spent a couple of days at the Comfort Inn and were very pleased with everything, including the free breakfast. Price was right. I think we used AAA or AARP

Another vote for Waterfront Inn for the very nice rooms and location. But Doug, don't forget to warn your friends that staying anywhere in TV is like staying at the Hotel California.

This is, of course, because "you can check out any time you like, but..." Well, you know.:thumbup:
