I will update if this changes through my stay. My first stay was quite horrendous to say the least. Let's hope this stay is a lot better. Update: as I wake up in the morning and go to make my morning cuppa coffee, the Keurig doesn't work. Now, coffee is my life as stated on my page. I don't know what to do with myself as there is nobody working in the front desk, quite literally there is a sign. Disappointed in that. I went to go take a shower and my options were either scolding hot or freezing cold. So I awesomely got to choose between the two. That was pleasant. As stated in one of the pictures you can see that some of the paint is faded in a couple different areas in the room and the wood is showing underneath. Just some basic light maintenance needs to be tended to. And the lightbulbs need to be checked out before customers come into the room. Other than that, I am happy with the aesthetic of the junior suite. It is roomie and nicely decorated. I like the fact that the living room is sectioned off from the bedroom. Makes it feel like you're in your own little apartment versus being in a hotel. They seem to have made some upgrades since the last time I had stayed here. In the bathroom, they have amenities that they did not have before. So kudos to them. Now let's see how the rest of my stay goes! Oh, and Lindsay who works the front desk, rocks!

He is the epitome of everything the owner of an establishment and more. So thank you! The room he put me in. Amazing. Number one for me is cleanliness. Definitely passed. Second, the bed. Perfect. I love it even more than my bed! It is truly divine. The bathroom was nice and big! I love the claw foot tub. I didn't get to experience it but I'm sure it's wonderful. The shower pressure was a little on the lower side. But hey, nothing is as close to perfection as this place. I highly recommend this lovely hotel.

I will say that the rooms do not have adequate sitting space nor is there library or private lounge area to conduct business. However the social life will not be without entertainment if they remain on campus. The bar was always well tended as was the restaurant. I saw the man by the name of Tru operating 24/7 during my long stay and solely because of his presence would I return. Thank you again.

Beds were cozy and sheets clean! AC worked well. They did have a pool to use as well! Pros: Great location - walking distance to most bars and restaurants in historic downtown.

Bathroom shower was a not the cleanest, had mold in the caulking and walls stained.

Nothing is nice. Everything is dated and old. We had to switch rooms bc there was drywall mud all over the walls & curtain in the original room. The pillows are all so worn & old, imagine going to stay at your great great aunties house and she pulls old pillows out of her hallway closet. There were NO amenities. NONE.I found out there was no conditioner in the shower container after I wet my hair. There were no bags or liners in the trash can. We were denied having the room cleaned and the bed made on day 2 bc this "hotel" only changes your sheets or takes out the trash on stays longer than 3 days. (WTAF?) There are no microwaves in the rooms. Only a "shared" microwave in the lobby. Now, who wants to see my 3/4 naked Big Man going from the 5th floor to the lobby at 1:30am to warm our burrito? The "breakfast" option is literally a Starbucks. A very simple under stocked Starbucks. Breakfast for (2) was $35.00 DAILY. Your options are (1) food item & (1) drink item. That is RIDICULOUS. Parking is NOT free. This place charges $11.50 daily for parking. (Jeeezus). I booked this place bc it's right in downtown DeLand. The location is NOT worth the price. This tall motel is lacking in so many areas. I will say, the cleaning staff is failing.

All of the staff and I mean everyone were happy and pleasant and truly wanted their guests to enjoy their stay. The rooms and facilities were super clean and well kept. The beds were new and comfortable. The ac and heat worked perfectly. Very quiet and sound proof rooms to get a good nights sleep. The breakfast each morning was excellent and different each day with a large variety to choose from. It was cooked well, very clean and organized and delicious. The 24 hour coffee bar was always spotless and had fresh coffee. Fitness room was very nice. Pool was very nice. Best place to stay in DeLand. Lots of shopping and eating establishments very close by in a safe area. Highly recommend!

Everything here was fantastic. Mark worked with us when our flight was getting in late to make…read moresure we were able to get our key and into our room. The breakfasts were great and it was nice to just sit and have a relaxing breakfast without that restaurant feel. It really did feel like eating at home. There are only 2 reasons that I couldn't give 5 stars, the wireless connection kept going in and out (mostly out) and the shower was definitely not made for someone over 6 feet tall (at least in the room I stayed in). The good news is that they give $10/off per night for skydivers who jump at Skydive Deland. Everytime I come to Deland, I plan on staying here and not the Holiday Inn that everyone else stays at right outside the DZ.

We stayed here for the first time ,this week and will certainly come back…read more Mark, from Rugby,England greeted us and schleppied up stairs with our rather heavy case. I had NO problem with the WiFi and the fact that the Deland police station is opposite gives a great feeling of security. We were in room 4,a pretty room with fridge ,coffee/tea maker and an adequate shower and separate toilet/sink.Remember, the house is 128 years old so space is at a premium . We slept well(need an alarm clock but Mark will wake you!) Breakfast was great! Fresh pot of English tea, a fresh fruit plate as a starter, whatever combo of eggs,bacon,sausage, toast jams you want, Mark will cook to order. We WILL be back! Adrian & Esther

So thankful for this little gem of a hotel in South Deland. I've stayed 4-5 times. The room and…read moreproperty are both kept spotless. Not sure how long it has been open but they are clearly taking good care of it and it looks new. I also appreciate how little the noise carries between the rooms. I recently saw a small group of younger guys going into to the room right next to mine and thought- great, I'm going to have to listen to them until all hours. Nope; barely heard a sound. I've not had breakfast, but have appreciated the small market space having a few decent items as I am typically arriving around midnight. The late night front desk guy, Nicolas was kinda amazing. He really made sure I knew everything he thought I might need to know: Breakfast, market, amenities they have on hand if I forgot anything... And super happy. What a breath of fresh air after a very long 7-hour drive from Atlanta. Thanks Nicolas! Hope to see you there next time.

I waited too long to…read morebook a room in the hotel where the wedding party was staying -- but that may have been for the best... they were up all hours of the night partying! :) This hotel is only 3 miles from downtown DeLand and just as close to the wedding venue. Easy check-in/check-out! The staff was very welcoming. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The normal amenites of wi-fi, flat screen TV, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, and even a pull-out bed were included. They were very gracious with out late check-out due to the fact that we were out late at the wedding reception, as well. If we ever need to stay in Deland again, this will definitely be where we'll choose again!

Friendliness Makes a Difference!…read more I checked in late after a long drive and was greeted by Lesly at the front desk. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and had such a warm smile that immediately made me feel at home.

After a long day on the road, her kindness and helpfulness really made all the difference.

Before arriving, we received a text message with thorough instructs for checking in, which was very convenient. There was a code to the front door, and then a separate code for our room. The entire inn and the room were decorated perfectly to match the period in which it was built. Our room and common areas were very clean and tidy, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom and shower were also surprisingly spacious for such an old house. I'd love to stay here again in the future.

My wife, my daughter, and I had the pleasure of staying at the Alling House B&B several years ago…read more We stayed in the Victorian Cottage and the place was beautiful, the owners at the time were very customer oriented and catered to their guests with great care and respect. They served a fantastic free breakfast that was delivered to your cottage, and they made you feel welcome as if you were family. NOT TRUE ANYMORE!!! This visit was our second time staying at the Alling House. I wanted to stay there for my 60th birthday based upon my previous experience, see the manatees, and just enjoy a nice, peaceful weekend away. Upon calling to make the reservation, I was informed that they were now under new management (it apparently was sold in September of 2022) and no longer served breakfast due to "COVID RESTRICTIONS." I was disappointed, but if that was a state or county regulation, so be it. They were still reasonably priced compared to the prices hotels are charging currently. I was also somewhat taken aback by the overall attitude of the person taking my reservation since he was rather harsh and did not seem very customer service oriented, especially when compared to the previous owners and other B&B's we have stayed at. It appears that the Alling House B&B is now operated remotely. I, at no point, was greeted by anyone, nor did I see anyone onsite that welcomed us or anything. If there hadn't been a female there when we arrived, who stated she was moving in, we wouldn't have known whether to check in at the main house, or just go to our cottage. Being a U.S. Navy veteran, 100% totally and permanently disabled, I was initially happy that we were staying in the Frontier cottage, the only one with a ramp. Stairs are not my friend at all. In order to fairly review the Alling House B&B, I have broken it down into negatives and positives, respectfully, as follows: NEGATIVES: * While I would like to begin with the breakfast issue, I feel I must begin with the fact that the ramp to the Frontier cottage has sunken boards that almost caused me to fall and are extremely dangerous to anyone with disabilities. There are at least 3 of them that will suddenly drop when stepped upon. * NO BREAKFAST. While I have already addressed this to a certain extent, I made phone calls to the state DBPR, the Volusia County Health Department in Orange City, FL, and verified that there are NO COVID RESTRICTIONS on B&B's serving food. Basically, it comes down to the new management just not wanting to incur the cost or go to the trouble. Therefore, if you want a TRUE B&B experience; this is not the place. Honestly, how can you call your business a Bed & Breakfast if you don't at least serve breakfast??? The website advertises itself as a member of the Florida Bed & Breakfast Inns, yet does not serve breakfast at all and uses Covid as the excuse in 2023??? * No WiFi, as advertised. When I called about it, I was told it was being worked on to make it better, even though we were provided the name and password in our confirmation email and text, and a card in the cottage. The individual I spoke with told me I could use the WiFi in the main house if I needed to do work. I don't advertise that I am disabled, but walking back and forth to the main house, especially when I'm paying for a cottage that advertises WiFi, is not easy for me at all, and I should not have to do that. I also brought along our Amazon Echo to enjoy sitting on the front porch and relaxing to some nice music, but no WiFi. * No cable TV or Roku device, or similar, but of course any streaming device would not have worked without WiFi. They do have some type of TV antenna that provides mediocre television. * Dining table chairs are horribly uncomfortable and sink in, not good for someone with a back issues, like myself. * The bed is very high and likely too high for anyone confined to a wheelchair. While they do provide a small, somewhat unsafe step stool, even my wife who is not disabled had to use the step stool to get into the bed. * My wife has possible bed bug bites on both of her feet that match bed bug photos online. However, she has not been to the doctor yet to determine if that is the cause. * Drinks and snacks are also advertised as being available in the refrigerator, yet there was nothing. OTHER LESSER NEGATIVES: * Lights on ceiling fan do not work at all, so you have no light in the living room, making the entire cottage seem very gloomy. * Coffee maker water reservoir has black residue in both sides of the plastic water level indicator windows. Looks like mold, but I am not a chemist. Although it is nice to have a Keurig available, I was informed that some cottages have them, some don't. Doesn't make sense at all. * Live roach in kitchen drawer. * If you use Grub Hub, or another delivery service, plan to pick up your food from the front porch of the main house. Not pleasant if it's raining, or you want the food del
