Top hotels in Lake Forest
Margaritaville Jacksonville Beach
Hotel was nice, clean and friendly. Check in took a little extra time due to computer issues but the staff worked hard to solve the problem. Bar was great and busy. Required valet parking was a little steep but they let us know in advance and it was efficient.
