Older, yet very well-maintained, property that fit right in with its historic surroundings. The owners were very personable, and the rooms were very clean. Each room has its own decor that keeps with the historical theme of surrounding Jacksonville and the inn itself. It’s pretty centrally located, and is within easy walking distance from the handful of shops/restaurants downtown. Britt Pavilion, a frequent summer outdoor concert venue, is also just about a 10-minute walk.
My only real knock against the property is the soundproofing, or lack thereof. Because of the age and construction of the building (single-pane windows and uninsulated walls), it didn’t do much to muffle the noises from inside or outside the room. Most of the rooms are situated around a common kitchen, making it hard to sleep in as noises and conversations from the continental breakfast are quite audible within your room. Additionally, because the property is located right on one of the main roads in Jacksonville, we also got lots of street noise throughout the night. I was awakened a little after midnight by a gaggle of drunk tourists meandering home from one of the local taverns, yelling their conversation directly outside my room (not that the property owners have any control over that). But just the routine traffic noise was enough to wake me a few times throughout the night.
All that being said, the pros outweighed the cons for this property and I would definitely stay here again.
