This hotel is in quite a convenient location (provided you have a vehicle), to get to quitexa wide range of facilities on that side of the city. I would have stayed longer but the wifi / internet connection was very marginal, at best.

I've stayed here and reviewed it several times, mostly under its previous name. Not a fancy place, but exactly what I wanted; clean, convenient and comfortable. A/C worked great. Good price compared to other options. Usually I can find at least one small issue, but not this time. As always, the staff is great and friendly.

1 nuit 1 chambre très grand lit

Hotel bien situé, proche du monorail pour se rendre gratuitement dans l’hyper centre de Jacksonville (il y a un parking gratuit au pied de la station de monorail Kings Avenue). Plusieurs options de restauration à distance de marche de l’hôtel (McDo, Starbucks, Walmart…). Hotel bien entretenu, propre. Parking gratuit inclus. Chambre propre et spacieuse, bien équipée (frigo/micro-ondes) avec literie confortable et wifi fonctionnel. Personnel d’accueil agréable, profressionnel et souriant, qui m’a accompagné en dehors de la réception pour me montrer où se situe ma chambre. Le seul bémol est le petit déjeuner (dans la réception, pas de table et peu de choses, mais c’est un détails, il y a quand meme un café un jus, un petit donnut chocolat et une crepe salée congelée à mettre au micro-ondes). Bon rapport qualité-prix, je n’hésiterai pas à réserver de nouveau lors d’un prochain passage.
