My recent stay was wonderful! I booked one night in the spacious Windsor Suite for my husbands birthday. The Riverdale Inn is so beautiful and cozy. It almost feels otherworldly as if you've gone a bit back in time. The bed was very comfortable and I always love a double sink! Whenever I visit Jacksonville, I'll be sure to book here again.

Beautiful Historic Inn

Riverdale Inn is a beautiful historic building. Like all historic places, the building is in need of ongoing repairs. We were originally put in a room that had a strange odor, but they were very accommodating about moving us to a different room that was wonderful. Thank you! The daily breakfast was amazing and the staff are all so friendly and welcoming.

Lovely historic B&B with loads of charm and character. Family run. Super friendly and attentive. Great breakfast. My only gripe is that I totally missed that the Riverdale Inn serves afternoon tea (which need reservations 24 hours in advance) Will definitely return to this property and will be sure to book tea!

Charming old mansion converted into a B&B in a nice neighborhood and two doors down from one of the best restaurants in the city. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable, but I didn't sleep well due to road noise.

One Night in Jacksonville

I was on a multi-day road trip and stopped in Jacksonville for a concert at the Florida Theatre; the Riverdale Inn was an easy 5 minutes or so drive to the theatre. The inn itself was excellent. Easy to find, easy check-in, friendly staff. It's an older, historic building (which I love) in a fairly quiet neighborhood. Comfortable bed, soothing shower. Quiet. I'm not a breakfast guy, so I can't comment there. This is a nice place that I would stay at again.

Great option to the chain hotels

The Inn is located in a lovely neighborhood on the water with good restaurants and shopping in walking distance. Convenient off interstate. Our room was quiet, clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was prepared to order with lots of menu choices and was delicious. Will for sure stay here again.

A mixed experience

The Riverdale Inn is beautifully restored and there are some lovely rooms in the main house. We had one night in a pretty, spacious light room at the top of the house. Unfortunately our second and third nights were in “Lancaster, a premium double room” in a converted garage in a second building in the car park. It was dark and depressing (the only lights being two bedside lights, although the newly renovated bathroom was well lit). The furniture was well worn and the whole ambience was dreary and incredibly disappointing. The only outside light came through a small window overlooking a neighbouring property with people walking through and a window in the door. This was an expensive mistake, we would never have booked it if we had known what it was like.

Nice spot near the river

Cute BnB in nice setting near the river. The shower came on by itself at night because "the people in the room upstairs were taking a shower". The gurgling drain was noisy and disruptive. Breakfast: ham and cheese omelet was perfect; however, the pancakes were burnt (I mean black).
