A great way to end our family cruise vacation. Cute vintage property. Rooms are cozy and basic but we didn’t spend much time inside. Walking distance to the beach, the southernmost point, and Duval. Anna’s coffee and the food truck across the street are amazing! The free Duval loop bus stop is close as well as the trolley stop. Would stay again!

Unfortunately our room was directly Next to the rooster bar and we heard the people In there and the music well into 3am every night - made for very poor sleeping conditions. Also when showering the hot and cold handles did not work, made for very cold Showers which was really too bad, wouldn’t recommend or stay here again

The exterior door of the room was a hollow wood door. Hollow wood doors are intended for interior use such as closets, bathrooms, etc., not exterior. For proper security, an exterior door should be either metal or solid wood. Even though the door on the room I stayed in had two locks, including a dead bolt, a hollow wood door can be broken open in minutes, if not seconds, with ordinary common hand tools or it can be kicked apart. This is a serious security lapse. Additionally, there was a gap between the bottom of the door panel and the threshold that likely permitted a large cockroach that I found in the room on my third night there to gain access to the room. Someone at the front desk told me that the roaches live in the trees outside so it probably got in under the door. It would seem that if they knew about the roaches, measures should have been taken (such as better fitting doors with barriers along the bottoms) to keep them out of the rooms. Other possible intruders, such as mice, could probably squeeze through too. Other issues that I noticed didn't seem well thought out such as the location of the wall mounted TV; most of the screen could not be seen from the bed if the outward swinging bathroom door was open by more than about a foot. It could have been mounted elsewhere. Overall, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioner worked well. Everything worked well in the bathroom though the sink faucet was a bit loose and moved slightly.

Beware that there is a bar at the property with live music in the evening that goes til 1:30 a.m. This bar was right beside my window. I was told at checkin that the music only went til 11 p.m., which I didn't think was unreasonable. However when it was still going strong at 12:30, I called reception and was told, "No, it doesn't end til 1:30 a.m." I find it hard to believe that they didn't know that when I checked in. At first the manager was not willing to allow me to cancel my second night and get a refund. It was only after I got Expedia involved (thanks to the helpful folks at Expedia) that he was willing to do so. He remainded unwilling to discount my first night. So I paid $350 CAD for 3 1/2 hours sleep. He assured me that he would let all staff know how late the music actually goes, so if you are told otherwise, let my lesson be your guide. Otherwise the property is fine and the bed was comfortable. It will work if you don't mind live music literally outside your room (Room 19) til 1:30 a.m.
