There is no way for the general public to book a room or event online. Walk-ins aren’t welcome, according to signs taped to the glass doors at the front entrance. To get in, it helps to know the owner: Craig Mateer, a top sponsor of the governor’s second inauguration who made his private planes available to DeSantis during his presidential campaign.

The dynamics at play inside the Governor’s Inn, as described by more than a dozen people who have been inside for events, overnight stays or drinks, have ethics experts wondering about what is going on inside a venue with no public information about the price of rooms, drinks or events, and no clear criteria about how to get in.

“It’s a black box,” said Bob Jarvis, an ethics professor at Nova Southeastern University’s law school. “There is no way to know what’s going on. There’s no way to know what expectations there are of the owner. There is no way to know whether those expectations have been fulfilled on a quid pro quo basis.”
