Hotel from another time- beautiful old hotel (staff informed us that it will be 100 next year!). Beach front with stunning view from our room (201). Very quaint details, high ceilings, roomy interiors. Included breakfast was a good mix of the usual suspects. Front desk staff was friendly.

water pressure was pretty non -existent but not sure much could be done with that since the building is older. Also didn't have a rinse off station coming from the beach (we used the nearby public rinse off which was OK but it would been nice to have one right at the property)

Access to the beach right out through the back of the building. The set up of the room and the eclectic vintage furniture was very interesting.. The view of the beach from our room, and being able to hear the ocean. A hot breakfast was available from 6 to 10 am.

We were told there was going to be a wedding upon check in. We just were unaware that the music would be right down below our room, you could not hear the TV. It ended promptly at 11, but was just loud for a few hours.

It was clean and beautiful...

I had bought a brand new pair of shoes right before I arrived and I put them in the floor at the foot of the bed and forgot to get them when we checked out and I called back later and housekeeping said they didn't find them and I specifically remember leaving them at the foot of the bed. I called twice to the front desk left my phone number and never heard from nobody and she said housekeeping said they were never there, but they were there.

Historic hotel… location can’t be beat. They were in the middle of renovations but it was fine.

So.. when we checked in with front desk girl X, we were NOT told that the hotel did not have a system to charge drinks and food from the bar to our room. Regardless, we had a lengthy conversation and she knew our names/ faces. Around 6 pm, we sat on the patio and had drinks /appetizers from the bar. We told the bartender we were staying at the hotel. When we were finished, we decided to go for a walk on the beach so we took the plates inside ourselves and went to the beach. When we came back after 45 minutes, the bartender and girl X were in a total panic because they thought we had skipped out on paying for our dinner.?????????

The room was great. The lounge was nice and the bartender fun and friendly. I love the historic building, the beautiful beach and location to great food, drink and entertainment. The hotel is lovely. I will visit again.

Booking.com didn’t have the room description correct. It said inner courtyard and ocean view. I had ocean and roof top. The halls had things stashed, like a headboard and rollaway bed in the hall by the elevator..seemed unkept and short staffed. Could have been because it was a weekday. The hotel is lovely!

What a great location! Right behind the dunes on such a lovely beach. As a historic hotel, it has charming architecture, the room was large and the rate was very reasonable. I loved being able to eat breakfast in the courtyard, which has a very European feel, and have a glass of wine in the fresh air in the evening looking at the ocean from the Rooftop bar. The bed was comfortable and the sitting room had plenty of seating options. The bathroom was a good size with a tub/shower and shampoo, conditioner, soap, and makeup remover. Parking is free and you can walk to many restaurants and bars.

A few minor things - you have to go downstairs to ask for ice when you need it and parking is free but limited. A bigger issue was the noise level - my room was under the rooftop bar and the noise of the live music and patrons could be very loud, but they were always quieted down by 10:00.

Breakfast was good and complimentary, real scrambled eggs and real potatoes, good waffles. The View from the room was exceptional, the view from the upstairs lounge is fantastic. Drinks are good and priced moderately and so are the appetizers. Ideal location right on the beach. Nostalgic hotel, great pictures in the hallways of yester years at the beach.

Some of the furniture can use updating, no microwave.

Everything! This will be the hotel I come to any time I get to visit my home town, Jax Beach! The breakfast, far exceeded any breakfast I have been offered at any other hotel. Offering a quaint historical architectural building grasping true characteristics and cultural design of an authentic Floridian atmosphere. The room was perfect with a comfortable bed, clean and crisp linens, and natural light. It felt like a room in a house, not a typical hotel room in a hotel. Staff were very friendly, attentive, and presented as if they enjoyed working there!

I truly love this place...I will be back!

I loved the location right on the beach. I could see the ocean from my room window. I loved the staff, they were so helpful and willing to go the extra mile and make any necessary accommodations. I really enjoyed my stay and will be making it my permanent home when I visit Jacksonville Beach.

The waffles could have been a little bit better.
