DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Jacksonville Riverfront
The location of the property was fantastic. It was very dirty, outdated, broken and not maintained which was extremely disappointing. Do not be deceived by the location which they charged a premium for.

Hampton Inn Jacksonville-Downtown-I-95
We've stayed at this location multiple times to return to MD Anderson Center and it is very convenient. The staff is helpful and the parking is close. It's an added convenience that breakfast is on-site and included.
