Perfect Location for Extended Stay
The hotel is ideally located for those staying around the East side of Jacksonville. It's close to the beach. However, it's also near amenities such as a supermarket if you like to cook in or some restaurants if you feel like dining out.
positive:
Decent Size Rooms with Long-Term Stay Amenities
Guests mentioned that they enjoyed the size of the rooms. While not monstrously big, they're not tiny either, so it provides space to move around. If you're staying here for extended time, it feels more like home than a hotel room according to some people (especially with the laundry facilities and on-site market).
positive:
