Candlewood Suites Jacksonville Southpoint by IHG
Clean and comfortable rooms. The kitchen/bedroom layout was perfect. Well set up. There was a little street noise but I wear ear plugs, so not a problem for me. 2 choices of pillow types which was helpful. I streamed Netflix and relaxed. Perfect downtown location.

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.
