I didn't want to devote any time to this review over the holidays and while family was in town but, I was reminded of this unfortunate experience and felt I really should leave this review. We were rudely awoken at 12:45am by a drunk couple that was loudly clomping up the stairs and screaming at each other. The woman was shouting "Your F-ing big ego!" They stood right outside our door shouting, F-ing this and F-ing that. They finally made it to their room and continued fighting for the next couple hours. So, we were awake for at least 3 hours. A sign inside the room door listed the management number to call or text in case of an emergency. Finally, at 1:54am, when we couldn't take it any longer, I texted management but got no response until a 6:42am text of, "We apologize for this." At breakfast the next morning, Carole and Angie did apologize. Carole said that she did not hear the 1:54am text. They made light of the incident and said they couldn't have done anything anyway since the police won't do anything when the drunken guests are screaming inside their room (by the time Police would've arrived). I would expect more from management at a hotel so, why not at a Bed & Breakfast? Carole and Angie even joked about the time another guest actually called the police over drunken, disorderly guests. We did not find any of this amusing since we were really tired after our sleep was disrupted for hours. Upon expressing our dissatisfaction about the middle of the night debacle and requesting at the least, a one-half comp for the night, I was offered a discount on a future weekday stay along with much attitude from Carole via several texts as she couldn't understand why we could be upset. When I responded to an email soliciting a 5-star review, the owner, Allison Witherow, replied "we can offer a fully complimentary night's stay for the future on a date of your choice. Because your original reservation is several weeks in the past, this is our standard procedure in lieu of a refund." I addressed the matter on check-out day but, now time is the reason for refusing to issue the refund. I would not consider returning to this Inn after this experience. Unfortunately, our plans for the check-out day were ruined as well since, we were dragging all day after not getting the proper rest overnight. If the "Bed" portion of our visit hadn't been such a fiasco, I wouldn't even mention that the breakfast was a disappointing, half-hearted effort. The Italian omelet was microwaved (not kidding) scrambled eggs on a thick slice of rock-hard Italian bread. I suppose the earlier seating got the fresh omelets. So, if your goal is to hit the nightlife on Flagler Avenue and mix with the nightlife to all hours, the Inn on the Avenue is the lodging for you.

The hotel is in the heart of NSB, beachfront (literally steps away!) You don't need to move your vehicle because bars, restaurants, souvenir shops and even ice cream places are very close to the hotel. The rooms looks like they have been updated recently, excellent A/C, comfortable beds...water system is kind of weak but at least there was hot water...elevators and hallways impecable (something hard to keep because of how close the beach is). Staff very friendly, but at the same time with a lot of courtesy... Fully recommended!

Our check in experience was smooth and despite some critiques in reviews, they do make clear on the website that there is a parking fee, so we were not surprised. Our first room was musty/mildewy but we sort of expected that given that it is right on the water. The air conditioning unit was so incredibly loud we didn't sleep the first night. I attempted to report it early in the day and again in the afternoon. I approached the front desk that evening and was told they hadn't found anything wrong but I could come back if it was still an issue. Eventually, they offered a new room. Still mildewy smell (even after the lovely staff tried to deodorize) but the AC was less noisy (ish). It's too bad it took 3 points of contact to even get an update let alone an offer to move. There are definitely some updates/upgrades needed in this property. The beds are really uncomfortable (hard, bumpy). The rooms are spacious enough and mostly clean but the shower was dingy and the room floors were definitely not clean. The TV is quite small and you have to turn it to face the bed or the couch. The breakfast is quite meager/sad so we didn't bother with that (oatmeal, toast, cereal, eggs, sausage). We were told we had late checkout to make up for the inconvenience but apparently that was not in the system so the housekeeping staff knocked on the door at 11am, so we just packed up and headed out. I shared my room experience with the front desk upon checkout and they gave me a small credit but no where near what should or could be done to ameliorate the situation (not even half a night's worth in credit). The staff were nice overall and while we expect older beach buildings to have some challenges, it is really time for them to update.

This was small. Two stories. We were on the second story and you could hear every single noise. It made getting some sleep difficult, more so as the next day we had to drive to Tampa (which fortunately for us was not that far away). The bed, too, was hard, and the room itself was cold, so cold that even tinkering with the heating controls didn't seem to help much. The plus side in all this is that it was fortunately only for one night. I don't think I could stomach a longer stay. I usually have nothing to bad to say about this chain, but this particular location definitely has some kinks to sort out.

The room was set up in an odd way and we kept hitting our toes and shins on the metal frame. There also wasn't a lot of space to put stuff in the bathroom.

I found my seat on a crooked stool on the pool side of the Tiki Hut, the drink specials are taped and stapled on the grime covered walls and the weather beaten post that hold up this shack, now that's real character in a beach town dive bar. They say the service ain't that good, I say bully, this is next level so check your pretentiousness at the gate cause these are some friendly folk and there ain't no door - the kitchen staff is killing it and the bartender is cute and efficient and she pours a stout rum runner for eight bucks so get ready to get your buzz on. Whether you choose a stool at the bar or a seat on the deck the forty year old speakers are thumping and the island vibe is contagious so get lost in that rock and roll or the reggae beat. The space is totally inviting and the sofa yeah the sofa is so so 70's I don't know but I'm just saying it's like smokin' indo and sippin on gin and juice, laid back and sinkin down in da couch baby. If you feel like a day at the beach I gotta tell you only being close to the beach ain't that bad either, so take off the flip flops and take the steps down to the sand and no body's gonna care if you leave your bikini wraps by the pool ladies it's all good here - I love this bar...
