"Z"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Jacksonville Riverfront

8/10 Good

"Breakfast had burnt eggs. Staff very curt, not willing to call taxi for me when my cellphone stopped working. Had to ask valet to call for me. Electronic key to room did not work, they couldn't fix so had to move me to lesser room with no reduction of price, just breakfast token. Staff needs more training to make patrons feel welcomed."

Marriott Jacksonville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean accommodations. Great location. F=Courteous and helpful staff."

Remodeled unit steps from San Marco cafes and shops and near Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Five-Star Experience All the Way!We had a wonderful stay! Daniel was kind enough to let us check in early since the unit had already been cleaned, and it was super clean, which was greatly appreciated. Communication with him was excellent from start to finish.The entire unit looks beautifully renovated, with updated bathrooms, lovely furnishings, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds were wonderful, and we slept very comfortably. There were also thoughtful touches throughout, including coffee, spices, and other essentials that made the place feel warm and welcoming.One small thing worth mentioning is that there are train tracks approximately five blocks away, and you can occasionally hear the train whistle in the late evening or early morning. It never bothered us, and there are plenty of homes even closer to the tracks, but if you’re a particularly light sleeper, it’s something to be aware of.Overall, this was a five-star experience all the way. The property was beautifully maintained, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!"
