This is a lovely inn close to downtown. There are shops an restaurants close by, as well as a nice park on the river. The room met expectations, staff was very welcoming, and breakfast was delicious! We would stay again if we are in the area.

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.

Riverdale Inn was just as described. Beautiful grounds and beautiful Inn. The couple were extremely helpful. While we were there, we walked around and spotted Cinco Tacos. The food was delicious. Oh, and the breakfast offered at the Inn was absolutely scrumptious! We will definitely be staying there 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).

Impeccable and very memorable stay for our family. We staying in the Carriage House and the beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed all of the little touches, including the nice towels and linens, bath products and the full kitchen. While we didn't cook, we did use the refrigerator and microwave. The breakfast (Michelle is the cook) and the reception (Sidney) were extremely kind and helpful. Really, I couldn't think of anything we'd want to do differently. It was perfect for our family. Thank you!
