Fodor's Expert Review Speakeasy Inn

1117 Duval St., Florida, 33040, USA

During Prohibition, Raul Vasquez made this place popular by smuggling in rum from Cuba; today, its reputation is for having reasonably priced rooms within walking distance of the beach. Of course, the booze is legal now, and there's a bar in the lobby offering 350 brands of rum. Accommodations have kitchenettes that include a refrigerator, microwave, kitchen sink—everything you need. Pastel-painted walls are accented by bursts of color in rugs, pillows, and seat cushions. The rooms are basic, but some have nice touches like claw-foot tubs. Room 1A has a balcony that's good for people-watching.

PROS

  • good location
  • all rooms have kitchenettes
  • first-come, first-served free parking

CONS

  • no pool
  • on busy Duval
  • rooms are fairly basic
