Ivey House Everglades Adventures Hotel

Room was clean and everything works but we did find some ants that we notified the staff about the next morning (it was late). This side of the property, the north wing, is arranged around a very nice outdoor covered pool. The room was fine for our purposes, one night's accommodation for myself and my kids prior to driving home after a canoe camping trip in the National Park, but you won't impress anybody by bringing them here. These rooms are old and it is time for a comprehensive renovation. The staff are very nice and helpful, and the place apparently has some history. They have everything you need for a great trip in Everglades National Park. Other reviews mention bugs, I don't doubt it, but it's Florida and bugs happen. The place is perfectly appropriate for Eco Tourists.

Room was spacious and clean for the most part. However, we did discovery mold on the curtains where the AC was blowing air into to the room. Im pretty sure this is why there is a dehumidifier in the room to the hotel staff must have been aware of the issue. There wasnt someone at the desk at the time we left for the day or when we returned. Ended up calling after we checked out and the response receivrd was "oh ill tell the hotel manager and never heard anything back from them". Mold is no joke one of the ladies has asthma and the rest of us left stuffy and coughing. Make sure you check the walls and the curtains around the AC unit.

Positive: Clean, roomy, well decorated and furnished. For the price, an excellent choice! Negative: The TV had great cable offerings, but was very small. It was hard to see across such a big room!

I have thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Ivey house. The staff is great and very helpful. Rooms are nice, clean, and comfortable. Location is the best if you are looking to be in the heart of the Everglades. Couple of great restaurants nearby too (Camelia Street and Island Cafe). I highly recommend this establishment!

Got settled in my room watching TV and a huge cockroach crawled on my foot! Hotel staff came out to spray, but I saw another roach in the middle of the night and had to kill it myself! Discussed with management the next day. They couldn't refund since I booked through a 3rd party which is understandable, but they said they escalated the issue to management and that I'd be hearing from someone. Never did hear from them. Too bad because it would've been a decent stay. I was pleased with the suite and friendliness of the staff before the issue occured.
