Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel started off on a rough note, dealing with quite a bit of noise coming from the bar next door, which really interrupted my need for rest. However, I did find the setting along the St. Johns River to be stunning, and the beauty of the grounds is truly remarkable. While the restaurant staff were lovely and helped make the best of the situation, the limited breakfast hours were quite inconvenient. Improvements in sound insulation and restaurant hours could significantly enhance the experience.
My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The Old Florida charm and the historic architecture were truly delightful. However, the noise from nearby events, particularly weddings, was disruptive and ruined my sleep. Overall, it’s a beautiful place with great potential, but it's important to check if there's a wedding event during your stay.
While the hotel is set in a beautiful location and features charming historic character, my experience was marred by noise disturbances and outdated room conditions. The staff was friendly, but noise issues were not adequately addressed. The dining experience had potential but could benefit from extended hours. Overall, there's promise here, but there are clear areas needing improvement for a better stay.
This hotel offers a picturesque experience with stunning views of the St. John's River and beautifully landscaped grounds. The rooms are spacious and unique, enhancing your stay. While the service is friendly and accommodating, the dining options could use some improvement, particularly regarding the carryout meals. Overall, it’s a charming spot worth a visit, especially if you appreciate historic character.
The hotel boasts a stunning setting along the St. Johns River, making it a picturesque retreat. The staff went out of their way to provide compassionate service during a challenging time, which I truly appreciated. However, the noisy environment, especially from the bar next door, made it difficult to relax. The dining options could be improved as well, particularly the limited hours for meals.
