Top Urban Core Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Jacksonville Beach

2/10 Terrible

"Room was not ready until 7pm"

Courtyard by Marriott Jacksonville Beach Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"very clean with wonderful ocean front room and great service. Parking fee charged but no valet and beach /pool towels have to be signed out and are threadbare. There are also no beach chairs/umbrellas provided by hotel- they must be e rented from a concession and cannot be charged to your room. Minor inconveniences but surprising for a beachfront hotel. Overall, a nice stay"

Hampton Inn Jacksonville-Downtown-I-95

6/10 Okay

"Overall the stay was good. So first the staff was great. What I didn’t like was the property maintenance of the entrance and outside in general. I don’t know what’s going on with the spiders and insect problem at the front entrance, etc. but there was a ton of something going like sacs and creepy looking things from some kind of insect. It freaked out my wife. Another thing I completely hated paying for parking separately that should be included with the cost of the room! Overall, the day was OK could be much better"

Hampton Inn Jacksonville Beach/Oceanfront

2/10 Terrible

"While the property was nice, the desk manager that we encountered was so incredibly rude, condescending and unprofessional, gave us the absolute runaround and would not allow us to check in at 3:20pm when check-in is at 3. He stated our room was not ready, he had no idea when it would be ready, and would not give an inkling as to when we should return to check in. My family, including active military back stateside from overseas, planned a nice weekend at the beach… which was ruined by the staff at this hotel. So unfortunate. The staff can completely ruin an experience. I’ve never had an issue with Hilton hotels in the past but I will never stay at a Hilton again after this. This experience is also something I have share with all our military connections such as Blue Star Families, Parent groups, the local VA and other affiliates of our military veterans. I do not care how “nice” or “fancy” your hotel is, the staff should know and do better. Especially for being charged $750 for a 2 night stay at a Hampton Inn. Never again will we use Hilton."
