Manor Inn

very disappointed

I and my Navajo partner of 11 years will be traveling to Ft. La in April. I went to this place's website and thought it looked great. The website does not let you make reservations. You have to call or email. Well, I called, left a message and never received a re-call. I TRIED to send an email, but with all the crap you had to go thru, after 20 minutes I xncled my request. I called again, and when whoever answered asked me when I was coming and for how long, he told me that he doesn't take reservations for less that a 3-day weekend. OK! I won't be in La-dee-da for three days. He hung up on me. How rude!

Escape or be social (or both)

Manor Inn couldn't be more convenient to the gay traveller that wants to walk to everything just a few blocks away in Wilton Manors. Yet it's located on a residential street that allows for peace and quiet on the premises despite the nearby disco speakers, restaurant chatter, traffic, and drunk pedestrians. The backyard is a lush, tiki-like area with a heated pool, secluded jacuzzi, and even an outdoor bathroom (named "Take A Leaky") and shower, which emulates a camping experience if used instead of the same facilities in the guest rooms. Kip Wingo is a great host, and his no-smoking policy, while a bit inconvenient for tobacco-lovers, is essential to the clean, tranquil, friendly atmosphere that he and housekeeper William maintain through daily labors of love. If you need a tour guide, or just want some company for lunch or bar-hopping, Kip is usually eager to join you, but he also respects the privacy of those that want to be left alone until they need assistance. Staying at the Manor Inn feels like temporarily living in your own apartment in the heart of Wilton Manors, with great roommates and a terrific landlord. Be sure to take advantage of the equally gay-centric FAB shuttle to and from the Manor Inn to save about $40 round trip compared to taxi service, while experiencing a luxury ride in a spacious Mercedes.

Will Be Returning too

I just returned to Canada after spending a week in Ft. Lauderdale at the Manor Inn. I almost didn't stay there based on a negative review that was just unecessary. While clean is subjective, the definition of the level of clean they experienced while staying at the Manor Inn was truly not my experience. There is no question you are getting what you pay for. The room I had was clean and comfortable. It was serviced when I requested it to be. I did not feel that I ever had to vacate it when it wasn't convenient. Several times during my stay the host enquired about my room, and asked if I needed anything. If you do your research you know this is not a ***** star resort, if that is what you thought you were getting for the price..I am very confused. Location Location Location..that is the benefit...My stay was pleasant and my partner and I will be returning in March.

Will Be Returning

Came here because my BF had stayed here with great pleasure over a number of years, and found out why... a great quiet place with tranquility and peace just a few feet away from all the activity in the area! (did not move the car once after arriving...) this B&B is small and well- maintained by a caring host who supported our stay with great efficiency while never intruding - went out of his way on several occasions to provide support and assistance..... Our room, while small, had everything we needed - and was quiet, clean and ready for us to relax and enjoy, either in the room or poolside!

frequent and repeated great times here...

very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, great host, always welcoming and accomodating. nice guest rooms, great location...been coming many years, always have a great time, and make new friends from all over...
