A great place to stay!
I love staying at the Blanche! Easy, no fuss, quiet, quaint, comfortable… I could go on! Communication with staff is easy and they are always kind and professional. The Blanche is a gem in Lake City and I don’t plan to stay anywhere else when work sends me their way.

The lobby area was beautiful. The room was comfortable and very tastefully done. Everything worked great! The 2 bottles of water and the Keurig Coffee Maker were nice extra touches. We had no trouble getting in using the codes we were given. We look forward to our next stay!

The elevator was broken and I had my elderly mom on a walker. There was another lady that had a bulging disc in her back having to pull all her luggage down the stairs. I had 2 rooms and this was definitely not how we envisioned our stay being.

The Blanche was picture perfect. The rooms were clean and well decorate. The Blanche would have gotten a five star if it hadn’t been for the loud noises and slamming doors in the middle of the night (from 12 am to 1 am and again from about 4:30 am to 5:30 am). This did not make for a good night’s sleep. This may have occurred because it was the weekend. We would stay there again and would recommend the Blanche.
