The Best Hotels And Motels In Okeechobee Florida

With its old-fashioned charm, treasure-trove flea markets and Florida sunshine, friendly Okeechobee combines city convenience with laid-back lakeside living. Handy motels and convenient big-name hotels with family-friendly pools make a great base for hiking, cycling, fishing and wildlife-watching at glorious Lake Okeechobee, known as the state’s inland sea.
