Top Urban Core Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Baymeadows

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel! Great experience!"

Hyatt Studios Jacksonville/St Johns Town Center

8/10 Good

"The staff at this hotel were wonderful. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Only issue we had was the room had hair on the bathroom floor, in the shower and on the bed sheet. They brought me a vacuum cleaner and I was able to clean up the hair in the bathroom. They said they would let the management team know about this. In a great location near shops and restaurants at St John’s town center. The price was great and I would stay here again."

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."
