Historic Hotels & Resorts in Beach Cities Jacksonville

"I loved the ocean view upstairs in the bar and the exterior area, and the history of the place, It is unique. I wish there was an overhang at the entrance to protect you from rain when checking in, unloading and loading your car. The parking was across the street so it felt a bit sketching not being on private property. But that wasn't, as it turned out, a big deal. Some deep cleaning overall is needed. Particularly in the room I was in had dark dust/mold on the ac vent, and the ceiling fan was dusty. That being said everything else was clean and the furniture nice, bed comfortable. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Also, the ac works great and the fridge even has a little freezer which helps keep your ice. The room needed at least one chair. An ice machine on each floor would be nice but they do bring it to you on request--just different. The day I checked in there was an event of 300 people related to a local surf contest. Though very loud, it started at 5 pm, it was amusing and full of very polite young folks having a great time. The good news is the hotel has a hard stop at 10:30 pm. It literally went from the biggest loudest party one minute to complete silence the next right at the stop time. That is amazing!!!! I had a few friends visit that over the course of a two night stay and we had a blast in my room and in the bar. It's a great hotel for people who love the ocean, historical buildings, are open minded, and not expecting one of the "top 40" hotel experiences."

"As always, our stay was perfect! Clean, safe and affordable."
