Florida House Inn

Disappointing. We stayed in room 11, Railroad Room for two nights. The pics online don't do justice - the room is 10x12 (should be disclosed in add) with barely any room for two bags. Continental breakfast was almost 9am (innkeeper late arrival which she told us on arrival) and food/experience was marginal compared to other BNBs and budget hotels - cold bagels in food service bags and a luke warm frozen quish that needed to be rewarmed. We checked out early on day two to get on the road - when asked if we could get a bag for the next morning with some items, the keeper said no takeout was available showing no desire to accommodate us as guests. The property is quaint but old and is behind on many repairs - exterior door didn't close; musty; light in hallway was a table lamp that violates fire code; very weathered steps and walking surfaces; old/creaky beds; no room thermastate; and thin walls. At a $30++ premium to the Hampton Inn nearby serving a full hot breakfast, we won't stay again. This place has potential but management needs to step it up!

The room and bar were good. The tavern next door played rock music until midnight.! No way to sleep

Perfect location! Friendly staff!

Great location in the downtown area of Fernandina

Great location, easy access to restaurants, shops, bar, etc. Julie was exceptional hostess.

For a quick getaway this was a great place. The location is easily walkable to dine and find fun things to do. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Check in and check out was very easy and convenient. The Innkeeper Julie (juju) was one of the nicest people I e ever met in the hospitality area industry. Will definitely come back!

Enjoyed the 19th century vibe. My room was close to the bar next door. Live music was fantastic but quite loud until 10:30 p.m. Fabulous central location for walking for meals and entertainment. A fussy person who expects a refined experience will be disappointed. Personally, I knew what I signed up for and my expectations were met. Did not try the breakfast because my business meetings started at 7 a.m. and included breakfast. Hotel breakfast is between 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. which is fine for tourists. I'll stay there again but I'll ask for a room away from the live music. I go to bed before 10:30.

The place was a really cool historical property. The parking was very tight, had to park in city lot first night then move into the small lot but other than that very convenient to everything downtown.

We enjoyed our stay at The Florida House Inn and will return. Easily accessible to downtown shops and restaurants.

Great place and fantastic manager. Bar was very nice also. It is next to a bar with band that plays rock n roll to 11:00 PM though, so be alert to that .

Great location! Staff was friendly and helpful.

We liked sitting on the front porch and listening to the musicians at the bar next door. We didn't like the 8:30am time for continental breakfast as we are early risers. We liked the location close to town.

Love the old charm of the building. If your looking for super fancy, this isn't the place and that's exactly what I loved about it! It was fun to explore. Shopping and food very close. Fort Clinch only about 5 minutes away. Love Fernandina. Will definitely stay again.

There were issues.

Convenient that it is downtown and close to shops and restaurants, however, it is naldo right ext to the green turtle bar (same owners). The bar’s outdoor bands play loudly until 11 PM and the bar itself closes at 1 AM. Staff personnel here are nice, yet there is very limited staff, typically one person who is available from 10 AM to 5 PM. Property is in dire need of some TLC from every facet. Although our room was small, it was sufficient for our needs on this visit. The bed mattress itself was quite uncomfortable and in need of replacement. Lots of outdoor cats roam the grounds.

Great area and location, such a quaint historic place and the staff was awesome, especially the innkeeper Julie! We loved it! Also, lovely breakfast included with inside and outside seating.

The room was comfortable. It’s a great place to stay if location is important. The biggest issue we had was lack of storage, but the bed was comfortable and the staff was attentive and super helpful. Parking was a bit of an issue. Their lot is not large and there was a wedding one day so all the spots were taken. There IS a public lot right next to their lot, but it was small and filled up quickly as well. Overall, we would stay here again.

This Inn is very comfortable and unique. Lots of history. The continental breakfast was better than average. The quiche was outstanding. Julie is very attentive and helpful. The hotel in right in the Downtown so you can walk around and get lunch, dinner, shop, get a drink, listen to live entertainment. The place is old so you need to accept the imperfections but all that it has to offer outweighs the imperfections.

Beautiful centrally located B&B! We love how they preserved the charm of this home. Staff was amazing! The Inn keeper even moved her car so we could park, because the lot was full. It does need some upgrades to some of the rooms. One of the light covers was broke with sharp edges in the bathroom and 3 lightbulbs were blown In the bedroom. We didn’t report those things, but I’m sure if we would have let them know they would have fixed it.

Great location in downtown Fernandina, popular night spot right next door. Good linens, comfortable bed. Minimal bath products provided but was given bar soap and tissues when requested.If you like old, historic structures you might like this be aware it was built in mid 1800’s so the rooms are small. A/c is overactive and there is no control in the room so take a jacket. The only comfortable chairs are in main parlor. Building is showing it’s age. Pretty sure floor in room is original. Quiche was provided both mornings, otherwise breakfast consisted of store bought bread still in the bag, coffee and one fruit - some form of melon. Staff was pleasant and helpful.
