Very clean, good pool and outdoor seating, staff were very pleasant, the free breakfast was great, and a short walk to Duval st. and Schooners Warf. The only drawback is it can get loud outside, and is easily heard from inside the rooms near the road.

Everything was awesome - Staff, property itself, breakfast. Only issue is that building is old and next to main roads so you will hear loud noises if your room is next to a road.

This is a historic mansion so with that comes it's "quirks" - so going in I understood it's not going to be as maintained as a 4 or 5 star traditional hotel or resort. That said, it's beautiful and quaint, and the workers are so kind and helpful. For the price, it would have been nice to have at least 1 warm breakfast item included daily (eggs to order cost extra) but I did appreciate the breakfast bruchetta & salmon and all the fruit. The room was totally spacious and gorgeous. Overall we had a great stay.

Location was great and convenient to Shopping/Entertainment/Food. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Drawback was bathroom not fully updated w/walk in shower and lack of chairs in room. Room was on 2Fl, not sure was prepared for the stairs but managed ok. Info at check in was not fully delivered. These comments would not deter us from returning but would be more mindful of the room location and inside of room accommodations.
