We love the Old Powder House Inn! We have been visiting this Inn for 10 years. One thing that sets this Inn apart are its owners, Katie and Kal! They are the warmest, friendliest Innkeepers we have come across in all our travels. They will do what it takes to make your stay enjoyable, romantic, and as memorable as possible. We have stayed at countless Inns, Condos, Hotels, and B&B's and we always return to the Powder House. Its within walking distance of St. George St, Flagler Collage, and the Castillo de San Marcos. If you don't believe me, read one of the many diaries from the rooms at the Inn. Nearly every guest rants and raves about their stays. Katie and Kal care for their guests and love getting to know each and every one, which probably explains why they get so many repeat customers and friends! I cannot think of a single reason why anyone would not like the OId Powder House Inn. We have suggested this Inn to family and friends, and all have enjoyed their stay. I want it to be clear that this is not a hotel! This is a 110 year old B&B that is quiet and quaint, and caters to relaxation and romance. You will not find heart shaped hot tubs, a velvet Elvis, or beds that take quarters! This is a classic Inn with classic charm and character! Katie’s breakfasts are out of this world, her muffins make you weak in the knees, but don't ask for her cereal recipe ....I've been trying for 10 years and she will not share the secret! During breakfast, guests talk and share stories about who they are, where they're from and what they've done during their stay. My wife and I love the Powder House Inn and we will return as long as Katie and Kal will have us, but should they leave I don't know were we'll go because we have yet to find a couple as open, caring, friendly, and hospitable as these two wonderful people. Do yourself a favor and try the Old Powder House Inn, you'll enjoy yourself, we have! View Reviewer Info

The Inn is centrally located to downtown, but it is not disability friendly. If you have any mobility issues, please look elsewhere. If you use a wheelchair, don't even give this place a second thought. And please don't believe the innkeepers, if they tell you otherwise.
Our room was clean and well-maintained, but small- maybe 300 square feet? The layout was odd- I have never stayed in a room with the bathtub in the bedroom. Given the small amount of space, having the huge tub in the middle of the room seemed strange.
The food was okay- the "special cereal" was nice. Other than that, no overwhelming "gourmet" dishes- just the run-of-the-mill breakfast things (fruit and an egg dish).
Most notably, for us, we found the innkeeper to be intrusive and pushy. There was a lengthy list of rules that we had to "sit down and review" before we were shown our room. We were questioned about our jobs- when we were on vacation to avoid thinking about our jobs! During the morning breakfast, we were also encouraged to socialize with nearby couples- when we would prefer to enjoy a quiet breakfast. Compared to other B&B's and Inns, we felt there was limited privacy, too many rules and that we were being watched by an over-zealous parent figure.
I wish we had the same experience as other reviewers, but given our experience we will never go back and we will not reccommend the place to friends. View Reviewer Info
