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.

The only issue was not the hotel or services there. Its the location of the property. Its great to be in the center of everything but that comes at a price when it comes to trying to get some sleep. Is seldom quiets down even after hours. Bring earplugs if you have any interest in sleeping.

Definitely showing age as worn down. Nuisances with the age of building as you could hear everything out in the hallway, outside, etc. Fan had a split system a/c that hummed all night. Good location overall for north side of KW. Wouldn’t stay again just due to age and overall upkeep Disappointed overall for cost

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.
