"First and foremost, this hotel is in an excellent location. Literally steps from the beach and right in the heart of Jacksonville Beach. There is free parking in the lot across the street, which is very convenient. Our room was large and comfortable. The property is old, which I don't mind, but it could use a little bit of TLC. The outside area in the back (where we came down the steps to go to the beach) is filled with old kitchen equipment and other things, that could just be thrown out and the area cleaned up. The towels - particularly - need an upgrade. They are thin and just not very nice. Small little things like that could be a huge improvement. The other thing I will say is that the rooms are described as "ocean view". Yes, you can technically see the ocean if you look hard enough out your window, but none of the rooms on this property face the ocean. After all is said and done, we would definitely stay at this hotel again, but fixing a few small maintenance issues would make a big improvement."
