10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Florida: Best hotel deals for 2023

April 18, 2023 Rosalyn Ihle

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

Hotel that feels like a town house

Reviewed By wpv2015

Slam-bam on the busiest and lively street in Key West a couple of characteristic house joined together to form a small hotel, with very nice garden in the back with pool and parking space. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere created by people who obviously love their job. The relaxed atmosphere is especially noticeable during breakfast in the garden: no feeling of a ‘hotel-breakfast’ whatsoever. Room very clean and excellent bed.

Charming home right in the middle of St Augustine’s historical town. The room was clean and ready on time. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was alway delicious. You aren’t able to have cold drinks in the room but they are offered downstairs.

Omigod. What a waste of money!

Reviewed By cwilsononbeach

A friend, who had been here many times, booked this place. Since she liked it, I did not look on line. Big mistake! Although there were going to be three of us in this room, $781 was absolutely excessive. At best, the room was worth $150 (split 3 ways) This is a hostel -- not a hotel. We arrived after midnight and the night man at the front desk was extremely rude. He was confrontational and demanding versus trying to accommodate tired travelers. The room was a barrack -- no joke. There were two metal bunk beds and the top beds had not even been made up. There were several lockers in which we were supposed to protect our belongings and towels. Luckily, we were only there for one night. In the morning I escaped early for coffee by the pool. There were leaves in the pool and beer cans around the edge. There was no WIFI -- at least it did not work. When we tried to get mimosas (prepared at the front desk), there was no one there. Presumably because the front desk person was also cleaning the rooms (as the room cleaner heard us complaining by the pool and said he'd make them). I have no problem paying $780 for a room but this was insane. I assume others got better rates because most of the others around the pool were in their 20s (versus 50s like us).

A First Class Affordable Dive Resort

Reviewed By reefshark47

We stayed in an updated 1 bedroom apt at the resort. Everything was new and clean, I only wish there were more tables in the place, apt #4, it had ONLY 1 small dining table. But the AC was awesome and kitchen amenities perfect. We enjoyed cocktails by the pool and sunsets on the resort's beach. Extremely friendly resort and dive staff, Shout out to the boat crews, they were awesome. We're already talking about returning there. Late May was a tricky month to go for diving, a weather system eliminated a couple of our dive days, but glad to know Amoray played it safe with the dive conditions.

Florida Nostalgia

Reviewed By GJtravel_11

Florida nostalgia without the mildew smell! We stayed in the Dolphin and greatly appreciated the water view and the supper clean room. We’ve been visiting south Florida for 30 years and this place is a great mix of comfort with “years gone by.” If you want a typical hotel experience, go somewhere else. Also, if you want to bicker about a clearly outlined cancellation policy, go somewhere else. If you want personal/on the water, old school Florida, this is it. By example, when we missed our opportunity to take pictures of the sunset, Rick at the front desk sent us some of his professional level photos to remember it by.

Terrible customer care - Thives

Reviewed By 133luisannar

This place is ridiculously inconsiderate and the so called manager Micheal Nicolas is a complete JERK and a THIEF, to say the least! He has no business etiquette or regard for people’s safety! He wouldn’t refund our money nor reschedule our reservation although our ferry down to Key West was canceled due to the inclement weather brought upon by storm “Alex”. To make matters worse, someone in our group tested positive for COVID. He expected us to ignore weather related travel advisories, make our way down to his hotel against all odds and expose not only his staff but the rest of his guests to COVID. How would you like to stay in such a place?!???? Also days prior to our trip, as I watched to storm unfold I kept in touch with Iluka, a front desk agent at the property and Booking.com to explore our options should the weather worsen and they both stated to rest assure we would either get a refund or be allowed to reschedule for a later date. All Lies!

This is a modern and comfortable motel. The room was very clean. The restaurant is closed. There are a few cafes a few minutes drive away. The internet is good. The town is basic and mainly for water sport enthusiasts. I would recommend for young people.

Peace and Plenty Inn

The Inn is located in the very heart of the historic district and steps away from three of the most important landmarks in St. Augustine FL: the Alcazar Hotel, circa 1880 (now the Lightner Museum), the Ponce de Leon Hotel, circa 1888 (now Flagler College), and the Hotel Cordova, circa 1887 (now the Casa Monica Hotel). A two block stroll will take you to the Ancient City's center and Plaza de la Constitution. Great dining options such as the Ice Plant, Preserved, Cafe Alcazar and many more are within minutes of the Peace & Plenty Inn. Retreat into our quiet neighborhood or walk downtown and bask in the city's vibrant nightlife. Guests enjoy the best of both worlds without sacrificing ease of access for quiet repose. Our lovely walled garden is the ultimate in romance. It features fountains and a cozy pergola. The best part of Peace & Plenty Inn is our wonderful guests. Onsite parking, complimentary Wi-Fi and full American breakfasts, made fresh and served daily, are some of the great features.

The Owner Destroys Business Reputation

Reviewed By withherbear

The owner Sejal is a very hostile and rude person. As soon as I found out that the facility has an age limit— under 14 years old are not allowed, I tried to cancel my booking immediately. Booking.com contacted her many times to request cancellation, she didn’t respond. When we arrived the Inn, we tried to talk to her about finding a solution. She yelled me over the phone said lots of things insulting me that a parent should know where to take their child. She outraged most of time. I understand there are rules of running business, but she didn’t respond to our request timely. She said she was with her family as an excuse? Vice verse, you are a hotel business owner, were you suppose to respond to your work? If she responded on time, we can get a confirmation, in this way, we won’t be in a situation of arriving at the hotel with a 2 year old baby with whole day of traveling, and ended with having no place to stay, no money back.

This is a complex of older hotel rooms/apartments, but they are very clean. Our room featured a full kitchenette and was spacious for a studio. The pool was nice in the evening, there are plenty of shaded picnic tables on property and extras like corn hole boards and plenty of grills. Porky's is a short walk away for lunch, dinner or drinks.

Excellent Hampton, Return Visit

Reviewed By mibenco

I have stayed at this particular Hampton Inn & Suites on several occasions. It is a consistently excellent property. Since my last visit, the rooms have been redone. Everything felt clean and fresh. The bedding and towels were excellent. This is a busy property but it is definitely well-kept. There aren't many good choices in Lake Wales and in my opinion this is the best option in town. Recommended.
