We enjoyed our stay very much!! The man at check in was so nice and accommodating. The room was clean and looked exactly like the picture from the website. The only thing missing was a long mirror and a hook or something for our clothes on hangers. Other than that, we will return to this hotel when we visit Jacksonville again

Nice Room
They have changed the name and upgraded the rooms recently. I have stayed at this hotel several times over the years. The upgrade is nice. Our room was fresh and clean. The bathroom sink area was very nice and new.
The staff here is consistantly friendly. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The stay was great and room was very clean and nice for the money, the only down side was the smell, you could smell a hint of cigarettes and sweaty people.
