Florida Inn Hotel

Sorry, I have never lived there, but one day will come, God willing

We stayed at the Inn for Mother's Day this past weekend. The room was very outdated, and there was water from the A/C on the floor (a big puddle) the entire time we were there. The jetted tub was not clean (the hoses needed maintenance). Which would not have caused me to leave a bed review, but all that one top of the biggest issue we had... The water went OUT while my daughter was taking a shower 3 times (during the shower). I had to tell her to turn it off and then on, and it worked..but then it went out a second time and came back a few seconds later SUPER cold...it then went out AGAIN for a third time! This was not a very good experience considering the service was not very friendly. Not BAD, but not great either. Also there was a wedding and things were zoned off...which is fine by itself, but when you add there was another event in the morning which it was zoned off and loud.. its just eh. It like ok, are you an Inn or are you a event rental? Just not great at all would not recommend considering there are other bed and breakfast spots in the area for the same price. Sorry for the brutal review, it was just EH and your customer service could do with a little bit of a chipper (meaning happy to see you, how was your stay, your room is located here...breakfast is at 8:30 over here..etc. you know the usual pleasantries)

The location is awesome and the inn is beautiful. The rooms are nice, but show their age. The bathrooms are nicely upgraded. The staff (only saw 1 woman several times) was not particularly friendly.

For a brief getaway to beautiful Fernandina beach, we chose the Florida House Inn to stay at because it was centrally located and looked historic. I found out later that it is the oldest continously operating hotel in Florida, which is pretty cool. Lots of character. The rooms are pretty basic, but ours had a jacuzzi tub, which was nice. Disappointingly, the in-room fireplace cannot be lit, but this is probably a complaint better directed to the Florida regulators. Free, good, made-to-order breakfast was a nice perk. Free off-street parking is just behind the hotel. Adjacent to the property (and owned by the same person) is the Green Turtle Tavern. I was surprised that even mid-week in the off season, music is playing until 10PM. It was relaxing to sit out on the sencond-floor balcony and listen while sipping a bottle of wine. Old souls and light sleepers probably don't need to worry about the noise; between sound-proofing and the air conditioning, we didn't hear any noise from the street. Overall, a great historic hotel in a charming little city!
