Crowne Plaza Hotel Jacksonville Airport/I-95N by IHG
The elevator was not working when we got there. My wife has an oxygenator and this was not a good situation. Very disappointed.

Amelia Hotel at the Beach
hotel is well positioned for beach access. But the hotel is too small with few amenities for the price point. Breakfast is adequate but not best.

This was honestly one of the best hotels I have stayed at. The staff were so kind and helpful (wish I got their names!) The shuttle service was great, the breakfast was great, and the room was nice. Didn't get a chance to use the pool but that looked nice as well. I would recommend!
