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.

The property was very unique because of the history of the buildings. The main building wasn't open long enough for us to wander around inside the main building - we would have liked time to do this.

It used to be a fun place to stay, but no more. The help is bored and not putting forth much effort. My complaint that our room had not been cleaned was dismissed with hardly a whimper. I circled back to the desk and asked for my check back and left. Four hundred dollars they appeared to sorely need walked away with only a snarky comment from the clerk.

Arrived 6:15 — Nobody at front desk, given wrong key by guy in kitchen, quickly corrected, broken air conditioner (fixed) no Wi-Fi and when I called at ask at 8 pm no answer on phone. Two half used shampoos but no conditioner, scary shower with broken tiles. No desk or table. No door on closet and finally— mosquitos in my ears all night long. Really appalling experience for 200 bucks.

Interesting; cash only business. Given a paper, hand written receipt. Went cottages & both were dirty. Luckily a housekeeper was on property & located 2 clean cottages. Cottages have a small fridge only. No microwave or hairdryer. Very clean.

Super unique stay. The lobby looks like it's out of a Disney ride. The history of the place and its quaintness were wonderful. We had a great dinner at the restaurant on site and enjoyed the big beautiful porch. Our room was simple and the views out the windows over the water were beautiful. I would stay here again.

This was the first overnight stay. I have been at the Rod and Gun club for years for lunch with my parents. It was a thing that they liked to do. I was on a loop from Key West to the RV dealers in Fort Meyers and back to the Keys. It was very relaxed and pleasant. I was invited to sit with another couple since I was a single. We had a nice dinner and talk. You wouldn't get that in other places. The room was clean and appointed.

I like the rooms, the history and the location of the Rod & Gun Club enough that we have stayed there three times. However this will be the last time as nothing that you are told regarding services like dining can be believed. We were told the last two times that evening meals would be served each day and both visits the cooks left before dinner time leaving us on our own to find food. You have to hunt down someone to check or out of the place. It is a beautiful place but we won't be back.
