The Casa Marina had really kind people working there, a great location, and awesome vibe at the bar upstairs. The property seems like it is on the verge of being torn down or something, however, as it is beyond dilapidated. The couches, carpets etc were severely stained and dirty, light bulbs were out, there was no door on the closet, and the towels were old and tiny. Windows were dirty and light fixtures dusty. However, it was the cheapest option in the neighborhood and again, the staff was very kind! The bar/restaurant was also out of most of the food and many people ordered drinks that were not available because the alcohol ran out. I'm thinking they are probably going to close for a while based on the experience. I hope it bounces back!

Excellent hotel in the area. Staff was so friendly! There is no parking lot for the hotel. Parking is in the strip mall across the street. While we had heard there was parking issues we did find public parking very close to the hotel that we paid for for a few hours till the mall cleared out and then moved there.

We loved this rare find. Right on the beach. Over a 100 years old with tons of charm. We would stay her again in a heartbeat. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Our room had a great little TV room and a view of the ocean. We loved it. More charm than all of the other modern hotels on the beach. Their breakfast was great too, eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles. I think there were some other options too, but that’s what we had. We loved this place.

This hotel is 100 years old which I knew but even though some updates, towels very old, no glasses in the room. But the biggest problem is the nightclub on the third floor. Given the age of the hotel it was very very loud until midnight and given the location, late night party goers were also loud. The staff is friendly and it is historic. We paid for another room second night even though we were late to a refund. We needed sleep. And stayed at Margaritaville. Which was excellent!!!

The staff is excellent and super friendly!! When I arrived they had told me they upgraded my room since there was availability. I thought that was very kind of them!! Super CLEAN place and very comfortable! It is a neat hotel that is super cool and vintage yet modern also. The ONLY drawback is I was on the first floor and you can hear everything. The people above me stomped around a lot and unfortunately you can hear every step. The other thing is you can hear all hallway noise and people talking. I’m sure it’s part of it being an historic building but I did bring a fan and that helped when sleeping. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again with a fan.

All the bars at the hotel were closed and the rooftop bar area was also closed. The restaurant at the hotel was also closed. I booked this hotel because we wanted to spend time on the rooftop and the complimentary breakfast was also a big factor and we did not receive any of these things. We were not made aware prior to arriving about any of these closures and the hotel made no efforts to offer discounts, reimbursements, or accommodations to make up for this. Also the locks on the doors were broken so we had to get a front desk agent to follow us up to open our door for us every time we left the room. Not at all the romantic getaway we were expecting. Overall very disappointed and I want a refund. Will not be staying here again

Staff was courteous. Interesting building, older room with shabby renovations. Clicker malfunctioned. No hangers. Fan and mini fridge made a variety of noises. Bar uncomfortable. All avoidable with the hiring of a qualified maintenance guy and some updates to lighting, paint, tile, etc. in the middle of the night guy in room above me started talking to himself, moving chairs, stomping around, he yelled at front desk ( also heard by me, do not accept rm 108 for any reason) and continued to rant from 3:20a til 4:30am. It was cheap and there are like 32 bars within walking distance.

Full disclosure - this is a 100 year old hotel so keep that in mind. Room was small, TV was small, little furniture in the room other than a bed. Had to use mini-fridge as nightstand. Back to the bed, the head of the bed was significantly lower than the foot, so sleeping on it was uncomfortable with your head lower than your feet. Didn't try shower as it was long and narrow and claustrophobic. There is no parking at the hotel, you must compete with everyone else for the available beach parking. All in all, I'd rate the property as \"tired\". Hot breakfast was OK, they do have the waffle maker still. We prepaid for 2 nights but left after the 1st since the bed was so uncomfortable.

This stay was a bukket list item for me and I knew wanted to stay around the air show time because they have an awesome rooftop bar. Now the air show was very limited this year and that was no fault of the hotel, but they wouldnt let us upstairs unless paid another 60.00 a person. I get it was a ticketed event but this is one reason I booked this hotel. The air show was only 45 minutes because of the govt shutdown. Its crazy they wouldnt let guests attend. I only saw like 4 people up there. So I get it but i think they could have been more accommodating. They didnt really seem to care that its a reason i chose their hotel. That tells me that they probably really wouldnt care about us as customers at all. Anyway , room wasnt anything special but its still a solid choice if staying at Jax beach for a wedding there. Clean and pretty property. Breakfast food was good.

Event Hotel Do Not Stay Here

First off this is a very old hotel which I understand, but the rooms have no character I get they are smaller rooms. Dirty floors had to wear my shoes all over the room. The bed was so uncomfortable felt like you were in a hammock. Saw a roach on top of the fridge that was in our room. I come from Florida so I get there can be roaches but this was a German cockroach which mostly means dirty. The room was overlooking the courtyard which would be fine except you can hear everything! There was a party until 9 which no big deal but then we were below the bar so you could hear them breaking down the live music and such coming down the stairs. You could hear everything! We got no sleep in this hotel at all not relaxing. I would say great for an event but not good for sleeping. Great Location easy to get to everything, but I just thought it being a historic hotel they would keep up with it more. Make the rooms nicer and charge a little more if you have to. I have stayed in many historic hotels and houses and it wasn't nearly as bad as this stay. Would not recommend! Go party there and leave!

I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is 100 years old. So if you want a cookie cutter big Chain experience, this probably isn’t for you. The hotel has wooden floors, and you walk out the back door literally onto the beach. Mary, the staff member on duty when I checked in was incredibly friendly. If there’s a wedding going on during the weekend, it will be noisy because the building is small and old. But it’s unbelievably charming. I stayed in two hotels while I was in Jacksonville. The first was the Hyatt downtown, the seconds this Hotel. I stayed in the Hyatt first. If I had stayed in this one first, I would never have left. I would stay again in a heartbeat. It’s just that vintage-feeling and so very lovely.

Let me just say that i had tried for over a year to stay at this hotel,it was always booked. I booked this stay 3 months ago. I was there in town for medical reasons, i was unaware that this hotel has no/zero parking spaces for their guests, except for a strip mall across the street. I was there during tropical storm conditions. There was also no noise restrictions as the party went all night. Window in the shower is frosted however you can definitely see your neighbors in the shower. Water was draining slowly, removed the bathtub drain and it was full of hair. I also was given 1 washcloth and 1 towel for 3 nights. And the only working outlets were at the bathroom sink and the TV.
Do not recommend. Very disappointed.

I loved the ocean view upstairs in the bar and the exterior area, and the history of the place, It is unique. I wish there was an overhang at the entrance to protect you from rain when checking in, unloading and loading your car. The parking was across the street so it felt a bit sketching not being on private property. But that wasn't, as it turned out, a big deal. Some deep cleaning overall is needed. Particularly in the room I was in had dark dust/mold on the ac vent, and the ceiling fan was dusty. That being said everything else was clean and the furniture nice, bed comfortable. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Also, the ac works great and the fridge even has a little freezer which helps keep your ice. The room needed at least one chair. An ice machine on each floor would be nice but they do bring it to you on request--just different. The day I checked in there was an event of 300 people related to a local surf contest. Though very loud, it started at 5 pm, it was amusing and full of very polite young folks having a great time. The good news is the hotel has a hard stop at 10:30 pm. It literally went from the biggest loudest party one minute to complete silence the next right at the stop time. That is amazing!!!! I had a few friends visit that over the course of a two night stay and we had a blast in my room and in the bar. It's a great hotel for people who love the ocean, historical buildings, are open minded, and not expecting one of the \"top 40\" hotel experiences.

The sofa wasn't a sleeper. They quickly brought in a rollaway that my son said was VERY comfortable. The hotel was celebrating their 100th anniversary when we were there, and their was a wedding as well, which made it a little loud. The parking can be tricky- the lot is across the street, and is sometimes full. All in all, we had a great stay.

Friendly Staff, Great Location, Cool History

We enjoyed our stay at this historic hotel. Staff were very friendly and location was great. The room was spacious, but the bed was a little springy and bedroom tv didn’t work. There was another TV in the separate room that did work. The towels were extremely small and poor quality. The sheets were also awful. Towels and sheets felt like they were as old as the hotel! The water pressure in the shower was nearly nonexistent. We had a cockroach and few other small insects in the room. We loved the photos of the area in the past on the walls throughout the hotel and the old fashioned phone in the room. The area is walkable and bike-able.

The hotel is classic 1920s but with modernized areas throughout. Our room was beautiful! Beachy colors with neutrals and dark wood accents… it was perfect! If you get a room on the second floor you will have the most beautiful view of the ocean through the dunes. The cost per night was less than a larger hotel/resort and gave so much appreciation for architecture and Jacksonville history. And there is a continental breakfast that is free for guests. It was delightful. Everything was amazing! We will definitely be back!
