We ended up at AC after hating our one night stay at the Chelsea House. The staff at AC was friendly and welcoming. They really seemed to be happy working at AC. They stored our bags for us and put our perishables in their fridge while we waited for our room to be ready.
We loved the room. It was a nice size, with a very comfy king sized bed. The bathroom was nice and roomy too, with nice fixtures. The flat screen TV and wall AC kept us happy and comfortable while we were in the room. Loved the pool towels provided by the hotel, in which clean ones were displayed on our freshly made bed every day.
The pool was nice and the courtyard it was located in was shadey during breakfast and wonderfully sunny the rest of the day. We spent a lot of time relaxing in that pool and most of the time we had it to ourselves. The pool fountain is a nice touch.
The hotel had recently been opened (for a week or two if I recall correctly). They were still finishing some of the other rooms in the adjoining building. Even with the construction going on, we weren't inconvenienced.
The complimentary continental breakfast was nice. The location was perfect and we walked everywhere...to the pier, to Duval, Schooner Wharf...everywhere. We rented bikes, which the hotel ordered for us, and we went down the Smather's beach (don't bother).
We also rented a scooter and went to the Southernmost point, Dog Beach, and Salute's restaurant on the water.
The only downfall is that our room overlooked the main road. The morning traffic and a lot of large trucks drove through each morning, which made sleeping-in while on vacation nearly impossible - and I am not a light sleeper.
AC honored our rate from the Chelsea House (since they were owned by the same investor), so the value was nice!
If we ever go back to KW, we would consider staying at AC again.
