A historic hotel yet very clean . A unique setup with check in and check out. A lot of dining options around the hotel in a small, quaint town.

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.
