Tallahassee served as Florida's First Capitol because it was located midway between St. Augustine…read moreand Pensacola. Lawmakers needed a central location as the journey from east Florida to west Florida was treacherous during the early 1800s. On a mission to find a mutually agreeable location, two sets of explorers met midway at former abandoned Native American settlement known as Anhaica. This became early Tallahassee which means Old Town (Talia+Hasi) in Creek/Seminole. The first Florida Capitol was a log cabin built in 1824. One hundred years later, a temporary replica was built. Another temporary full sized replica was built in 1974 for the sesquicentennial celebration. My dad was on that committee which inspired him to advocate for building a permanent replica for the bicentennial celebration in 2024. It was so interesting to hear about the process of building this most recent First Florida Capitol replica. So many people donated their time and energy. From sifting through historical records, to creating authentic floor plans when few existed, to donations of logs, to getting permits, it was a challenging to bring this project, a dream for my dad, to life. Having grown up in Tallahassee, I have always loved Florida history. It is nice to see a piece of history being brought back to life and to have my family play a role in that legacy. Florida is so different from when my grandparents moved to south Florida a century ago in the 1920s. I am happy to see history preserved while the city and state continue to grow. #2900

One of the best areas in Tallahassee right here! Cascades Park is a beautiful and sprawling park &…read moreleisure area close to downtown that's perfect for a walk, run, family outing or other activities in the fresh air. There are walking paths that loop around and through and must go for several miles. They have a small amphitheater in the middle where I'm sure there are performances and concerts here and there. A big splash pad is on one side, and I know the kiddos love that especially on a warmer day. They have a big playground on the other side, and there are some bathrooms as well just in case. Intertwined are some pond/ creek areas that add to the beauty of this park. It's a super lovely walk around, and my favorite part are the pillars towards one end that tell the history of Tallahassee- racial tensions, civil war and repair and more. It brings more light onto the capitol city and its roots.

Chandra is absolutely amazing! If you're searching for an event planner, stop! Pick up the phone…read moreright now and call Chandra! Trust me, you'll be so glad you did! Chandra helped me plan my dad's 80th birthday party and it was sensational!!! Chandra sourced the venue and the caterer, and both were great! Chandra is such a pleasure to work with, she's very professional, honest, and a woman of her word. She stayed connected with me, so I never had to wonder what was going on or what was next on the list. She didn't make any changes without consulting me first. She gave excellent advice based on her past clients and experiences but was always willing to listen and let me talk it out until I was comfortable with it. If you want to have a spectacular event, call Chandra!

She helped us find some amazing vendors that really helped pull together the wedding.

My wife and I recently enjoyed the Friday night Chef's Tasting at Damas, and it was quite simply…read moreone of the best dining experiences we have had in Tallahassee. The food was phenomenal. From start to finish, every course somehow seemed to outdo the one before it. Each dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully explained, as were our drinks, and there was a clear sense that a great deal of care had gone into every part of the meal. As impressive as the food was, the people may have been what made the evening truly exceptional. Every member of the staff was friendly, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. The chef came out to say hello, and the owner and staff seemed to have mastered something that is surprisingly rare: they knew exactly how long to visit and when it was time to quietly disappear and let us enjoy each other and our meal. The atmosphere is superb. The rooms never felt overcrowded, and there is a genuine sense of having stepped into another time. It is elegant without being stuffy and intimate without feeling contrived. One final observation for anyone considering the Chef's Tasting: I have occasionally left a prix fixe tasting dinner thoroughly impressed but wondering where we might stop for something to eat on the way home. That will not be a problem at Damas. The five courses were generous as well as exceptional, and we left completely satisfied. This was not dinner; it was an experience--and it was worth every penny. We will most certainly be back.

The drive was quiet and the driver was kind as well. The receptionist was very nice and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed while we got checked in. She was patient and answered any and all questions we had. She even made suggestions on a few places (in addition to the spots in the hotel) to eat at while we were there. I can't seem to find the rest of the pictures I took of the room and lobby but everything was clean and smelled nice. I think other hotels should follow suite and rid of the nasty carpet in the rooms. I have no complaints about our stay. I will be returning to stay at this location during my next visit.

I went to the front desk and they moved us to a new room. The new room also had the same issue as the baseboard the very well but at this point, we were tired so we just decided to stay.

Apparently, when the housekeeper clean the shower, they don't turn the shower off off to face the shower wall instead is out of the shower and in the direct direction of the wall and baseboard has copying it to get wet when you go in the shower. Other than that, the rooms were clean a location is great. I love having the park across the street and the hotel is dog, friendly, nice and attentive.

The greens and bunkers are in great shape, the fairways are good but could use a little improvement in places, which to their credit, it appears they are working on.

Service in the restaurant and pro shop was great. Just an all around great experience. I would drive an hour or two to play this course again.
