Top Urban Core Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Jacksonville Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, big and clean rooms, friendly staff. Real relaxing and holiday atmosphere"

Best Western Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"We booked 3 nights at another location and canceled ASAP and found this one for the next 2 days. Way better for the price. Staff great, rooms nice size. The pull out bed needed a new mattress but my girls didn’t complain about them. The chair in the room needed to be updated but still nice. Bathroom was clean, breakfast was good. Pool was small but you’re right next to the beach which was great. Lots of places around within walking like shopping food and drinks. Balcony was small but it was a small hotel. I didn’t get to wise the washer room bit they did have one. Drinks you buy were reasonably. Parking was a little tight but we had a mini van and still did it."

Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay! Our room had a beautiful beach view and overlooked the pool, making it the perfect place to relax. This was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had in a long time. I wish Expedia allowed half-star ratings because I would give this resort 4.5 stars. The only reason I didn't feel it was a perfect 5-star experience was the food and a few minor inconveniences. Of all the restaurants on the resort, the only ones that truly delivered a quality dining experience were Florabell's for breakfast and the room service. The food at the other restaurants simply didn't live up to what we expected from a resort of this caliber. We also had difficulty finding a working ice machine during our stay. While this wasn't a major issue, it was an unexpected inconvenience that could easily be improved. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would gladly return for the beautiful views, relaxing atmosphere, excellent accommodations, and friendly atmosphere. We highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway."

Dune House Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great. Although it was still under construction, it will be beautiful when finished. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Food was great for breakfast lunch and dinner. Just wish the bathrooms were bigger. They are a little small for a family of four. Will definitely be back once the hotel is completed."
