"Hotel was great. Had trouble getting hot water from the shower, that’s my only complaint. Patrick at the front desk and April on the omelettes in the kitchen both were amazing and the manager even came by at breakfast to see how everything was. Pool was awesome and kids had a great time."

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.
