Top Downtown Jacksonville Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Jacksonville/Ponte Vedra Beach-Mayo Clinic Area

8/10 Good

"walls between rooms are paper thin"

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."
