The Inn is located in a nice area of Riverside and is close to restaurants and museums, as well as the water. Our room was on the second floor and was a nice size room with a tv, coffee maker, mini fridge and a beautiful bed. The Inn also has a bar on the first floor, as well as a good size dining room for daily breakfast. The menu offered about 5 or 6 options. We both went with the vegetable cheese omelettes and they were the best omelettes we have ever had. There was also a cute little outdoor patio adjacent to the second floor common area. It was a delightful stay.

Reservations were easy to make online, we were welcomed quickly upon arrival and giving a spacious room with all the amenities you could need - coffee maker, mini fridge, and more TV channels than you can imagine. While the bathroom was small, the shower pressure was great! Well we didn't have time to enjoy their honor bar, they do have plenty of different places to congregate or lounge on the first floor. This is a renovated classic structure, offering a great combination of old school charm with modern necessities. In the morning, we had a wonderful breakfast served with a smile. There's plenty of parking, and they even have electric vehicle chargers in the parking lot. I did take a very short walk to the waterfront. Overall, great rooms, friendly people, and the traditional bed and breakfast experience.

The house is beautiful in historic district and near St. John's River. Wonderful restaurants are close by. Owners Joan and Dan are very kind, accommodating, and prepare gourmet breakfast at the time that always works for my schedule. Only two rooms, private, cozy, with all the amenities. And the rates are incredible! This is a gem, don't want to give it away. But this place deserves good patronage!

This is an upscale neighbor with views of St. John's river as well as a semi-private road that makes for a nice stroll. It's located in a highly walkable area of town with trendy restaurants and bars that will suit everyone. I stayed in the Barnett room, which is spacious and comfortable. The linens and towels were high quality, the bed was very comfortable, and there were water bottles left out for me. I slept very well and each morning Joan prepared a five-star breakfast. She asked me what time I'd prefer to eat and provided options to suit my tastes. They're easy going and willing to share tips on things to do around town if you're interested. You won't find more gracious hosts than Joan and Dan. They made my trip to Jacksonville very memorable!

Speaking of Tom and Ila Rae, they are a delight! Such quirky, kind hosts. And their attention to detail is impeccable. We asked for breakfast including fruit and veggies, and boy, did they aim to please! Both days we had fresh squeezed tangelo and grapefruit juices, freshly roasted fair trade coffee, and delicious veggie breakfast creations. It's also wonderful because it's in a historic neighborhood with lots of places to walk! From restaurants and bars, to museums and parks. It can't be beat!

We drove into Florida with no real direction. We just knew we wanted to get to Florida. For our…read morefirst night of our vacation, we decided we'd stop in Jacksonville, since Jacksonville is right inside the Florida border. We arrived at our hotel and went to the front desk to check in. I noticed immediately that the front desk associate was not alone, he was with a security guard that had a gun on her belt. This was a little frightening, like why do they need all of this added security? I wondered. Luckily, we didn't need a gun to stay here. We didn't get bothered at all. It was actually a pretty peaceful location. The only problem we really had was with our room keys. They would not work on the door to our room. We had to go try to find the front desk people again after this happened, and they weren't around. Finally, the front desk associate starts walking by us outside. We told him about our room keys not working. He asked if we put them by our cellphones... apparently that deactivates the room key. The room was nice and clean. It had a small kitchen area with the normal hotel microwave and refrigerator. There were cabinets in the kitchen area that had plates and a few other dishes. It seemed like there should be more there, as if this place used to be studio apartments or something. What I liked about the room was that it had two doors, one in the front and one in the back. The front door went out to the parking lot. The back door has a small patio area by it. It also leads to the pool area. Overall, this hotel was a comfortable place to stay. We didn't run into any issues with anyone staying at the hotel. No one was loud except housekeeping in the morning. We slept soundly without worrying about a thing. Safety is key to a happy vacation. I think this place was very safe. I would consider staying here again.

There's stains on the bed sheets, they don't have comforters, there's ants, the ac/heater doesn't work, there's pubes on the washcloth, they have no directory to the room phone so you have to call the front desk via cell phone, the WiFi is non existent as I'm having to use my data to get anything to load and the "kitchen" is horrid. We weren't looking for the Marriott quality and we're only here for the night but google gave this place 3.9 stars, and the photos looked decent for the price (similar to a red roof) but this place is worth $25 a night not $60. 100% a crack den just with a fresh slab of paint
