Top Friendship Fountain Hotel Reviews

Southbank Hotel by Marriott Jacksonville Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Big open and airy property. Great size room with king size bed. Coffee, fridge etc in room. Huge convention/conference facilities. Beautiful bar and coffee shop. Breakfast was not included in our deal so did not eat. Unfortunately did not have time to check out pool."

Hampton Inn Jacksonville-Downtown-I-95

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly, place was clean and convienent."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Jacksonville Riverfront

8/10 Good

"Great staff and good cookies as usual. Had my wife's 50th birthday party and the food and beverage staff were great. Front desk staff were great while on site. For the price this location is run down much more than expected. Phone in room not operational, had to walk down the hallway to phone by elevator to call front desk. Carpet in room extremely warn, elevators were a worry, doors literally slammed shut, operational certificates were 2 years old in two of the three elevators. When calling in day prior to stay, was put on hold by front desk for 30 min, with them picking up multiple times to tell me that they were helping other guests; my question took 10 seconds to answer. View from our river room was great, location is great. Disappointed no airport shuttle is offered."

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!"

Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville Downtown Southbank

10/10 Excellent

"Yes!"

Southbank Apartments by Landing

8/10 Good

"The place was clean and well furnished. This was my first time booking an apartment instead of a hotel, and I loved having access to a kitchen that was fully stocked with cookware and utensils. My one complaint is that there seemed to be frequent events going on nearby that caused parking to disappear on the weekends, since I didn’t pay for a parking spot."

8/10 Good

"We all liked how close it was to quite a few restaurants. We were there for the football game. It was a great location. Only about 20 minutes to the field."

Southbank St. Johns River Stay + Dining & Pool

8/10 Good

"Unbeatable location at a reasonable price. Close to water taxis and walking distance to plenty of restaurants and bars. Also, the pool area was nice and there's a Chris Ruth's Steakhouse on site. Pluses made up for a musty smelling room that needed some airing."

Remodeled house in San Marco steps from San Marco Square and Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fantastic place and will definitely be coming back. Super safe area walking distance to almost everything. The cleanliness was exceptional, and hospitality was fantastic. My wife owns a cleaning business and she was super impressed. Would highly recommend this rental and we will be back!!!"
