Top Urban Core Hotel Reviews

Southbank Hotel by Marriott Jacksonville Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"Will stay again subsequent to renovation completion. Common areas were a little dingy and absent of air conditioning."

The Villas of Amelia Island

10/10 Excellent

"The space was immaculate, beautifully renovated, and thoughtfully appointed. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay comfortably. The beach views were spectacular, and watching both the sunrise and sunset from the property was truly a highlight of our trip. A couple of minor suggestions for improvement: * The barn doors in the primary bathroom did not fully close, which limited privacy when using the restroom. * Providing beach towels (separate from the bath towels) would be a nice addition. We noticed the villa pool did not have towels available either, so we’re not sure if they were intended to be provided. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would gladly return."
