Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is very nice with several room options...I stayed in the library. Very secure, very quiet and close enough to the tourist traps, but too close making motor scooters the ideal transportation. There is a pool, it is quite small and needs to be emptied and cleaned to get the stains on the surfaces. Overall, it was a great choice for a 3-day stop and I plan to stay here in the future.

I stayed for one night and it was exactly what i beeded after 12 hours of travel. The AC was freezing when I entered the room, which was heaven sent because I'm here in August and the air is THICK with humidity. I wpuld love to stay longer next time.

All staff incredibly pleasant - they do an amazing job maintaining plants on grounds and in room, loved seeing healthy, live plants in the room. Perfect selection for breakfast (thank you for having Philadelphia cream cheese!!) , and while beds creaked with every move the blankets and sheets were so soft and comfortable , everything was clean, pool was adorable, and we were lucky to make friends with other guests- fantastic trip. We did the dinner sunset cruise - highly recommend. And you can never go wrong with duval and Malory square!
