This place looks nothing like the pictures. The entire town has not recovered at all from the hurricane. Very sad to see. When we pulled in it was like a ghost town no one around at all I’m certain we were the only people there. We decided it looked unsafe to stay so we left
Very cool main lobby, lots of interesting details. Pet fee was reasonable and rooms were nice. Easy access to Everglades. Seemed like we were there out of season because a lot of businesses had closed up for summer but we had fun regardless.
Only hang up was cash only which they had included in their confirmation but I just totally forgot. We were able to go to the convenience store to get cash but there were fees so just come prepared.
The AC needs to be upgraded. Hard to sleep due to the AC not cooling as it should

We were banned from the property! They only answer their phones sporadically. You may or may not have a reservation unless you talk to the front desk. Good luck. It is not staffed. The public bathroom in the lobby has cobwebs draped from the ceiling like it may bed Halloween. Our room was not made up. Dirty towels, beds unmade, wastebasket full, cigar butts in the ashtray. We attempted to find staff to make up our room, but at 8pm the entire place was locked up. No lights. No one there.
The food was excellent for our only meal there. Two fish dinners and 4 beers. Total bill $140.00 Yes, one hundred forty dollars. The single boat launch is okay, and you can tie up in front. Bring you own lines. There is a freshwater connection on the seawall.
The male manager called us because we returned to the place and got our room charge back due to the dirty room. $160 in cash. They take NO credit cards. Cash only. You cannot put a hold on a credit card payment. We were lucky that the very nice young lady at the desk gave us a refund. The owner/manager said to us, "Don't ever f------ come back here! We lost $150 on the room. You're f------banned for life! Oh well, we would not return to such poor service and high prices and incompetent management. And no credit cards? Only cash? Hmmmmm.

The emails sent to us after we made our reservation advertised lunch and dinner served. We arrived at 7:30 pm. What we didn't understand was that when dinner ended at 8pm, the hotel staff locked up the main lodge and went home. The internet is only available in the main lodge (not in the cottages) and our phones only had 1-2 bars. They told us when we checked in, that the lodge would not be open for lunch (despite our recent email). When it was time to check out at 11am, we were hoping to see the historic lodge (why we stayed there) as we didn't get to see it the night before and also wanted to see it in daylight - it was still all closed up so we didn't get to see the building or grounds. This was disappointing as we had chosen to stay here to see this historic sight.
With the upfront mention of our challenges and disappointments, the staff are friendly, the rooms are rustic with bare essentials covered, and what little we got to see of the lodge was beautiful.
I would recommend, when making your reservation to find out the lodge hours they are serving food and arrive early in those hours to soak in the history. And be aware, if you or your family needs internet access - it is limited.
We were excited to visit Everglades City and staying at the historic Rod and Gun Club was icing on the cake.
The hotel is rich with Old Florida history and is well maintained. Our room, while not in the main building, was clean and comfortable. The friendly staff treated us wonderfully!
We will be returning as soon as possible 😎
We're so glad we stayed here instead of getting discouraged by earlier reviews! We had a peaceful, fun time at Rod & Gun Club in the middle of July and we don't even fish. Josh at the front desk was helpful when we called ahead and then kind and accommodating when we arrived. The main structure/dining hall is very cool and our cabin was clean, air-conditioned when we arrived, comfy enough beds and views of the water. If you're looking for round-the-clock service from the staff, this is not the place for you. But if all you need is a quiet, air-conditioned views in an interesting setting (with the option to dine in a charming historic structure) then I think you'll have a great time! Dog friendly, low-key, cash only - we will be back on our next trip to the Everglades!
It was really great the main building was facinating, strait out of the 30,s. Only down side was no tea or coffee making facilitys in the room. Great location on the river.
Great place to stay if you want someplace off the beaten path. Homey and charming, has a lovely pool and view of the canal, good food that feels authentic, not just standard hotel fare.
This property was a grand hotel and restaurant with old Florida charm. It is very sad to see it in such poor condition. No staff, worn out and old linens, over priced and now will receive poor ratings. They should just close and re-group like so many resorts have had to do since Covid. I hope someone steps up and restores this "piece of history".

Legendary spot. But at first they said they had only one room when we had reserved two. When we were ready to leave they found another room.
