4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Downtown lacked any general conveniences and limited dining. Some good bars and street art though. Stadium conveniently located. Skyway limited in destinations but convenient for a quick hop across the river. Southside pleasant.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Location area of hotel bit isolated, number of closed businesses & construction work. Found without a car it was hard to get places but Went to beach for a day on bus - easy to do & beach amazing

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

The locals are nice, but quiet. The city is dangerous if you don’t know where you’re going, but it is nice around a few areas.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Jacksonville near the beaches is a very nice, affluent area with some amazing properties for locals. Not necessarily a tourist venue unless you are a keen golfer. Beaches are great but not much to do. Picnic and a book to lose yourself on then great.
