The Local is conveniently located near downtown without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Easy to order Uber eats or Uber rides if you need to it’s also very close to all the shops in restaurants located on A1A. One of my favourite things about The Local is their coffee which is locally sourced from Martin in Jacksonville.

The room was smaller than expected. There was just a full bed, but it is fine for one traveler. Unsure if there was construction on the second floor above me, but it was extremely noisy at all hours. It was clean,great parking and location.
