Third choice post hurricane but an absolute gem.
Historic but lovingly maintained. Big room with lots of facilities. Breakfast is top class. The fresh waffles are life changing! Nice bacon and great sausages. Cute cheese omelettes. Fresh fruit. We’ll be back! X

I love this hotel. Great free hot breakfast. Nice large rooms. More water pressure and better quality toilet paper would be an improvement. I will be back!

Wonderful hotel!
This was one of our favorite hotel finds! Beautiful old hotel that has been beautifully restored. Feels very “old Florida” with a veranda and rocking chairs, dining room Full of light, and view of the bay. Our room was huge, spotlessly clean, with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The breakfast was very nice with hot and cold items. The staff could not have been friendlier! We will certainly be back when we return to visit family!

Great Place!
The staff was beyond awesome in more ways than one... Nice old place! Full of character and well placed. Probably the only thing I could speak negative was being out of bacon at breakfast when I came down 15min before it was over.

Lovely Historical Hotel
It was my 2nd time at this property. Such a beautiful old hotel. I was upgraded to a veranda deluxe room which was a wonderful surprise. I have one daughter in Historic Kenwood and another in Brighton Bay. This hotel’s location isn’t super convenient to other of those neighborhoods but I will happily stay here anytime I’m in town.

Perfect with the exception of the A/C unit which sounded like a jet engine. The bed was exceptional and the room very tidy and clean. The breakfast was phenomenal. Definitely will stay again.
