Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Jacksonville, FL
Hotel is in a great location. Staff is really nice. It is an older hotel. Room was clean but you can see the paint over job on the walls especially in the bathroom. Room carpet needs to be cleaned would not walk around barefooted at all. But other than that bed and couch super comfortable.
