Overall we greatly enjoyed our trip and stay at the James House of the Curry Mansion. We did not experience the curry mansion in its heyday and therefore greatly enjoyed our stay compared to all these other reviewers who have been going for years and say "remember when". If you go in knowing that you're going to get a more DIY experience, it makes it much easier. The concierge was very responsive and helpful. The location is perfect for fun daytime and nighttime activities, although it can get loud being so close to Duval. We used the pool and laundry and they both were what you would expect.
nice quite little room, loved the location - the water to the place was not working on our last day so we couldn't use the restroom or shower. It was an accident and out of the hands of the property management team, but still a horrible inconvenience
