Topaz Motel - Flagler Beach

For the good. This could be such a really cool hotel. The lobby and the room has this ancient, well crafted furniture going back as far as the late 19th century. The hardwood floor, the glass doorknob, the wooden Adirondack Chairs on the balcony, the vintage key attacted to a plastic fob, reminiscent of the 50's-80's, the wooden canopy over the bed, a bathtub made not long after the turn of the 20th century, the memorabilia in the lobby embracing the railroad history of Henry Flagler and to top it of the restaurant served great food and the staff was exceptional from the desk clerk to the server that waited on me. The balcony led from the bedroom to a view of the sea. Despite the fact it is a historically old hotel, the room was clean and there was no odor.

Then there is the bad. This place has SO MUCH potential! The balcony is rotting, the plaster and paint are cracking in numerous places, the wood frame where once a window had been is rotting in the shower stall. The door to the balcony either needs to be planed or either replaced with perhaps French doors. The facia has also rotted above the balcony a d likely allowing rain to enter above the ceiling. There is only one light for the room. The water for the shower took 10 minutes to get warm. I thought perhaps maybe the group had just purchased the place and was working on renovations. I was very disappointed they have ow we the place for 11 years. I love vintage hotels that have been restored by loving owners. Had they invested the time and TLC, this place would be worthy of $200.00 or more a night. For all the good things about this hotel, it is a travesty they haven't restored it.

Everything was okay except very noisy

Didn't like the fact that the restaurant customers were parking in the places that the customers who had rented rooms didn't have any place to park. Had buses parked out in the lot out in the road where you couldn't even see how to get out of the driveway.

Absolutely awesome staff great location right next to the beach nice pool yummy juice and coffee in the lobby

I don’t even know where to begin. Staff, view and location were the only good things about this motel. The room was disgusting. Room smelt of mildew. Floors turned our feet brown, bathroom was falling apart and dirty. Cockroaches were also an issue. Found at least 4 in bathroom during our two night stay none in the main room. We were going to leave but couldn’t find anything else and we are from out of state. There are No kitchenettes like advertised. Also the pool is clean but in serious need of repair. If you’re not careful the bottom will cut your feet up as well as the sides of the pool. This motel needs a serious remodel. Not worth the price we paid to stay. Wishing I would’ve listened to the reviews and booked else where. Don’t make the same mistake!

Staff, view and location.
