Great staff!!! Feels like home. They treat you like family. They remember your name. My room was amazing and the beds were awesome! DVD player in my room, flat screen tv! I was able to cook and save some money. Felt like a queen! Everything was always spic and span!

This hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms are updated and beds comfortable, but the bathrooms are old (my grout was a little pink and black in places around the tub), and if you are at the end of the hall, the hot water will be a little weak and slow. Thet had to replace the shower head in my room because there was no pressure at all in the old one. They were responsive and helpful in getting it done. There are no "fancy" hotels in Jacksonville and this one was just fine for a couple of nights.

Stayed at this hotel 9/4-6/12. It was just an ok hotel, as I've stayed in much nicer ones. They had a pool which was clean. Beds were comfortable. They don't have ice machines! because the rooms have a refrigerator and freezer, you need to remember to turn on the ice maker otherwise, you're out of luck with regards to ice for cold drinks. The front desk said the adjoining hotel (Holiday Inn?) had ice machines so they did give me a card to get access to the sister hotel and fill my bag full of ice. Good location, as there are many restaurants and fast food joints nearby. Front desk workers were very friendly. And there's complimentary coffee/tea in their pantry near the front desk. Also, they have snacks and other foods for sale but your best bet is to go to the Walmart and fill your fridge with food/drink you think you'll need while there. Thought the price was a little high but again, it was for an efficiency room. Also, there are NO smoking rooms in this hotel. That was not mentioned when I went through Expedia for this trip.

There are not too many options in Jacksonville, particularly if you are accustomed to full service hotels. Candlewood is a good option. They are clean and convenient. The have free laundry for people staying for an extended length of time. They only clean the rooms once a week. That means you make your own bed, etc. There is a full size refrigerator and microwave in the room. The rooms are not spacious at all. I could not imagine a family staying there for any length of time. There is a small workout room and a nice business center. The honor system store has free coffee.
