Review: I am relaying here my first hand experience. The first and immediate impression was of the frontage with its manicured and cared for appearance. It propelled me to check the motel out. The second impression was the owners themselves - Warm, affable, personable and with the attitude, ingrained with unpretentious customer service. Just warm, beautiful people. I got to... More

The owner was very friendly and check in was quick and easy. The room is older but has everything you need- bring your own hairdryer or really just relax and don't bother. We enjoyed hanging down by the river. We saw otters on the shore and mullet jumping. We had friendly cats hanging around to keep us company and they... More

Didn't want to stay in Perry or Chiefland so decided to give it a try. Room was clean and everything worked well. I paid a little more than the others in the area, but it was worth it. I will stay again. The owner thanked me for my business and I felt welcomed to stay there. The motel is safe... More

We needed a room for a night the weekend before Thanksgiving. I selected the Suwannee Gables Motel because I had stayed there in the 80's while on a family trip. I reserved the room by phone in advance- very efficient process. Upon arrival, registration went smoothly with friendly customer service. The owner was very happy to tell us about the... More

We always love to stay at the Suwannee Gables Motel and Marina when we come up for our yearly river trips.

Though it may not be much to look at from the outside, things look up instantly upon being welcomed by the owners and management. The rooms are clean and comfortable. What's most impressive is the view from the rooms. There's a waterfront view, with a nice breeze coming off of it. I'll definitely stay here in the future.

We stayed here because we wanted to spend 3 days exploring the Suwannee River. We wanted a motel with a launching ramp for our 16 foot power boat. This is pretty much the only place meeting that description. Old Town, near Chiefland in Levy county, Florida, is a small, rural town. This motel is vintage 1950. Small pool out front... More

The rooms and service was great. The grounds are well kept and the Suwannee River is beautiful right behind the motel. The owners are very special people and make you feel welcomed and like family. I really, really enjoyed my stay during Memorial Weekend. We'll be back.

I always read reviews and unfortunatley chose to ignore the negative reviews about the Suwannee Gables. I chose this motel because of its vacinity to the river, the docking area and the boat ramp. The rooms are basically what I expected. Old and musky with uncomfortable beds. The 80.00 per night rate is ridiculous for this type of motel. I... More
