DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Jacksonville Riverfront
The rooms were dated and worn. I literally had paint flaking off the walls. Not small amounts, but large amounts of paint. Thay being said, the staff was incredible, and did their best to make up for a property that needed a lot of TLC.

Place was ok, nothing fancy but clean and great staff, just be aware if your room face the street might be noisy, there are two bars/pubs almost in front of the property and Saturday night was on, other than that good breakfast, clean and convenient
