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)

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.?????????

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.

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!

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!

The History of the place

There was a fashion event. To noisy till 1am There was a coffee machine in room but no supplies The restaurant was closed do to event and we booked so we do not have to go out to eat went upstairs to lounge on 3rd floor but elevator only goes to 2 nd and my husband is handicapped. There was no more seating available.

Location, right on the beach!! Good breakfast and rooms are very clean! and I loved that all the rooms are decorated different and we felt right at home.

Breakfast area a little tight, but I understand that this is a historic hotel and the set up is different...but plenty of table outside to sit and enjoy the breakfast

It was so good. I paid for ocean view. Had street view. I was very upset. But the overall service and breakfast made it a 10.

They need to talk with 3 party bookings better. My room wasn't ocean view. I paid and only booked it for ocean view. Was upset at street view. But the clean, comfort bed, and peacefulness of this place made it great.

The whole experience was awesome. My child has autism and at check in I was telling the clerk about it and she immediately moved us rooms because she was In the know about children with autism and sensory issues to noise. We never heard a thing in our room the entire say it was GREAT! The whole building including the rooms has an amazing old school feel to it. It was beautiful. The beach was just steps away from our room. The breakfast was actually hot and not just bagles and cereal. Anything we asked for they were so nice about getting.

Our entire stay was great we loved it and have zero to complain about.
