Schooner Hotel

Property a lot more run down than shown in the photos. Parking difficult in that if you park in one of the few spaces in front you must back out onto a busy street. Other alternative across the street means you are running across a busy street. On the plus side it’s right on a lovely beach.

Something out of a dream

Location is amazing right on the beach. Some of the rooms are not very nice. The tile on my floor was broken and parts of the hotel need to be renovated. Front desk staff was very nice.

I was sadly disappointed in this “hotel”. I was late getting to the property due to my flight and there was no one the office to check me in. Instead I found an envelope with my name on it with the instructions of how to get in. Once in, the decor was early American thrift store. The mattress was old and the one in the room was unsteady and pretty unusable. The bathroom sink did not drain. There was a shared balcony with the rest of the second floor with an outside light that could not be turned off. The front side of the room had a bank of windows with wooden shutters (with one that needs repair) that did a very poor job of cutting down the light from the street. The bed mattress was old with broken down support and the bottom sheet was just a mattress pad. Only one sheet for cover with no duvet or blanket. I was finally able to get to sleep at 3am once the traffic noise died down and I could finally pass out from exhaustion. I left first thing the next morning to find a real place to stay. I asked for a refund for the two nights that I prepaid. No reply or apology from the management after I canceled and explained why. This place is a dump and should be shut down.

The property is an old hotel. A kids pool was filled with sand! I think they are just waiting for the right price to sell and have taken to just do the minimum to maintain. However, it is right on the beach and well below condo prices.

This place is due to be demolished in the Fall and you can tell! It is literally falling down around us. We had 2 rooms there clean “enough”. If for 1 minute I thought I could have found another place quickly I would have ran not walked away. Expedia sold this as some thing it absolutely was not! Shame on you for not doing the due diligence on this property! Unfortunately the clientele at this dive were also bamboozled as we were but they were decent.

We have been going with a group of friends to Schooner Hotel for about 20 years. We have stayed during good times and bad times related to the condition of the hotel. We will continue to make our yearly trip because we love the location, excellent beach access and beautiful sunsets. The hotel is older and needs updates, but we overlook these issues for the benefit of being with friends, and the beach environment. We always enjoy our visits, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Yes, the price has increased but everywhere in Florida the prices have increased. In some areas have increased so much the locals are getting priced out, but that's another issue for another day.

Great view and walk right out to beach!!!

Old building They are trying to keep this place open but everything is very dated. If I had see it before booking I would have gone elsewhere.

Room was dirty, hair in bathroom. Tv did not work. Patio door broke.
