Reviews for Admiral Fitzroy Inn

Review 1:room was clean/adequate, not overly charming, dated furnishings...but we didnt spend anytime in room so it was fine...there was a noise in the walls/ceiling all night, might have been air conditioning unit or plumbing pipe...

Review 2:location, very economical

Review 3:I felt our room was a bit on the shabby. I took the liberty of looking in a few empty rooms and I felt they were brighter, more cheerful and decorating was much nicer.

Review 4:The location was excellent, the staff person we met was wonderful and the price was great.

Review 5:Some machine/heating component was audibly banging and I could hear it through the wall--Room 10.

Review 6:The friendliness and "ease" of the staff. They had an air of "no problem."

Review 7:The room's mattress did not allow for a good night's sleep.

Review 8:We liked our pretty room except the mattress was so soft we rolled to the center of the bed. Breakfast was very nice, with a variety of good food. Great location with off street parking. Helpful staff - making good dinner suggestions and site suggestions.

Review 9:We didn't get assigned to any of the rooms I saw online which was why I chose this inn. Photos of rooms were beautiful. Our room was not. Rundown, sofa and rugs that need shampooing badly. 1 drawer for clothes-too small for bureau in the bedroom. Mirror in bedroom very beat up with big and little tarnish spots on mirror. Blinds old and dented. Need replacing. View from window was horrible-shows outside walls and windows desperately need paint and repair. Female Mgr was very argumentative and defensive when we shared our disappointment. This was our 25th anniversary and it was not at all what was presented. She never offered congratulations, but instead acted like it was my fault for booking online-even though she said they still won't guarantee you will get the room you were promised. No rooms available to move us to and she made no attempt to do anything for us this stay to try to make us happy. Told us maybe next visit we could get a room we could choose from if we stuck around after checkout time to "poke your heads into the other rooms"-but again, still no guarantee. We didn't stick around after checkout because we will not be back. We were totally disgusted that she fought with us and acted like the issue was our fault. We spent as little time as possible at the inn. I know this inn gets many good reviews but those guests must not have had to present any type of problem to this unprofessional manager who never even introduced herself. Not impressed!

Review 10:Location is great. Young lady working evening shift that checked us in was pleasant and helpful. The bathroom shower tile was nice-looks very new. Towels were very nice-extremely soft and fluffy.

Review 11:A bit pricy for the quality of breakfast offered which was pastries, hard boiled eggs and cereals.

Review 12:The location and friendliness of the staff. We needed a late check in due to travel restrictions and they accommodated us very effectively.

Review 13:It is located across from the waterfront and in the middle of restaurants and shops. Also convenient to the Cliff Walk, Ocean Drive and Fort Adams State Park.

Review 14:Everyone we encountered was friendly and extremely helpful. The room was beautiful and well-kept. The location was excellent, and there's parking to boot! Overall, a fantastic experience.

Review 15:That only thing I can complain about is that it was a little pricey and breakfast was not as good as I expected. It certainly was not bad but very simple.

Review 16:The place was beautiful and the location is perfect. The staff was very friendly and my room was awesome.

Review 17:second floor allowed heavy feet and jumping in room above at 7 am. That coupled with construction site outside rear window allowed no room for sleeping in

Review 18:Parking. Rooftop. Breakfast was the best I've above all others in area.

Review 19:Nothing we were unhappy with.

Review 20:Great atmosphere,clean,comfortable,friendly staff,have stayed many times over the years and will not stay anywhere else!!!!

Review 21:It's a tradional house, a little bit fussy for me, but comfortable friendly and clean.

Review 22:It's a very traditional property and let's you see what the original houses were like. They have thought of every detail that you would need

Review 23:Some construction noise at 7am, but turned on ac to white out the noise. Newly carpeted well appointed room had new carpet smell- but it dissipated after getting used to it.

Review 24:Location was central to everything. Free safe parking. Tennis courts, museums, waterfront dining, nightlife and shopping in walkable distance. We biked and kayaked too. Rooms were clean with a quiet working fridge. Historical.

Review 25:A little pricey, but you pay for what you get.

Review 26:Location is second to none. Walk to everything! The atmosphere in the AF was very nice. Good staff, good breakfast, plenty of space, great shower and comfortable bed.

Review 27:Just a perfect place in a good position. Our room was fine with a comfortable bed. The breakfast was adequate rather than fancy. The rooftop deck was great.v

Review 28:Stayed in front room...we should have shut the window before going to bed...a little loud as party goers were walking home!! We learned on the second night and slept beautifully

Review 29:Admiral Fitzroy was a lovely inn situated in a great location. Food was plentiful, cookies delicious. It was comfortable, clean and very convenient

Review 30:I don't mind a little noise as we enjoy staying out late and it was St. Patrick's Day parade weekend but being an old historic building you could here the guests upstairs though I suspect they were enjoying the many local bars and restaurants so maybe not all guests on other floors had the same experience. As I said, we'll definately stay again, just remember this is not a hotel with concrete walls and floors so if a few creaks in the night or some heavy feet on the ceiling occasionally won't bother you then be sure to give it a try.

Review 31:Staff was wonderful as were breakfasts. The off-season price was reasonable with comfortable accomidations and on-site parking. The history of the Inn is interesting and the location makes for easy walking in a beautiful historic city near a wonderful harbor. If your looking for 5 star then this might not be for you but it was neat and clean and we had a wonderful stay. We'll be back again!
