the lookout has been my in-town getaway for the past four summers now, mainly just to lounge around their most exquisite pool area (a *saltwater* pool-huge plus!) and beat the oppressive summertime heat. very comfortable and clean rooms as well, each a different theme, the jungle room being my personal favorite. their bywater locale is in close proximity to several...

So..where to start. We did arrive later than check time I picked. Was not able to get anyone on the phone to inquire about where place was located. It was getting dark and was having trouble. We got there and found our room after searching. The keys were taped on the door and there were these flying bugs all in... More

I was recently at the Lookout Inn for a 2 night stay. I usually stay in the CBD, but due to a medical convention, had to look outside my regular hotel. I was bit familiar with the area due to previous business trips, so the other reviewers opinions of the dangerous neighborhood didn't really phase me. However, I do travel... More

Plus, the inn is close to a couple of great local cafes. I highly recommend it, especially for those who enjoy boutique... More

The saltwater pool out back and the hot tub with a beautifully tropical-landscaped back yard make you feel like you've seriously escaped to the... More

We are locals who like to "vacation" in our own city. We loved this place! The pool and hot tub are an awesome +. We had a totally secluded oasis experience (sans suits ;). We wandered the Bywater and found quite a few little places that we'd never heard of. Coffea is not too far and we had a great... More

I can't tell you what a great place this was to stay. More than we expected!! I was traveling with 2 girlfriends, my husband and our 2 children and this place was perfect. The owners, Lisa and John were so very cool and have really done this place up right. The rooms are awesome, even cooler than the website. The... More
