Margaritaville Jacksonville Beach
I love Margaritaville hotels. I felt sorry for the staff. They were way understaffed especially considering it was the big players championship in town. There was a big lacrosse tournament. They had one girl at the front desk and she was working her tail off so shame on Management for allowing that ...

Hampton Inn Jacksonville Beach/Oceanfront
Great staff. Great amenities. The pool is awesome. The on site restaurant and bar were great. The view from the room was perfect, watched the sunrise from the balcony in the morning. Slept with the door open to hear the sound of the ocean waves crashing all night. Would definately recommend.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Baymeadows
The gym lacked a versatile universal gym. I wasn't able to do my normal workout. Elliptical was fine.

Hotel rooms could really use an upgrade. No microwave, no fridge. Bathrooms are outdated. Rooms are outdated.
