My stay at the hotel was fabulous overall. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, though the only drawback was the air conditioning. The service, especially from Sheila our shuttle driver, was quite friendly and obliging. The location was perfect for my needs in Jacksonville, despite the minor inconvenience of limited dining options within walking distance. The breakfast was a highlight with a great variety of choices. The facilities were satisfactory, with a minor disruption due to ongoing renovations.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, but the lack of thermostat made the curtains wave from the blowing vent. The service was exceptional, making us feel like old friends and going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location, close to the airport and cruise ships, was unbeatable, despite the ongoing remodel affecting the breakfast location. The dining experience was a mix of standard fare and exceptional items like homemade soups. Overall, a great value for money.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel.

The hotel's location is very convenient, close to the highway and shops, but it may not be ideal for much else beyond a pre- or post-cruise stay. The service was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences, and the dining options, while basic, were appreciated. Facilities were adequate with some room for improvement.
