"The motel room didn't have a microwave or coffee pot. The bottom bedsheet had a burn hole. The grab bar by the toilet was loose, and the seat for the handicap shower was slick; my disabled daughter slipped right off of it. We left early in the morning.2021-03-17"
"The room wasn't ready when I arrived. There was no coffeemaker, and no ashtray in my smoking room. The overhead light didn't work, and neither did the phone. There was no shower curtain in the bathroom. Don't stay at this hotel.2020-10-13"

"The hotel exterior and lobby were appealing, but the room was dark and claustrophobic. The walls were dark brown, and the dark carpet was worn and dirty. The bed sagged in the middle.

"I had a horrible stay at this motel. The 1st room had stained carpeting, dirty bedsheets, and a dirty bathroom. We were given another room, but there were blood stains on the bed. The doorknob fell off the door. We were moved to a 3rd room, but the doorknob fell off the door of that room as well. The toilet wouldn't flush, and the staff said there was no plunger so I'd have to use the lobby restroom until morning. I asked for a refund and stayed somewhere else. Don't stay here.2018-10-13"

"Close to everything. The room was functional, and the motel staff was excellent. Breakfast was great.

"We weren't comfortable at this motel at all. The beds had cigarette burns, and there were strands of hair in the bedding. Not enough towels provided, and the manager said we'd have to go to the front desk to get more. Random people knocked on our room door several times at night. Don't stay here.2020-05-27"
"The motel was really run-down. The bathroom door wouldn't close and dragged on the floor. There were holes in the walls and doors. The coffee pot only made one cup at a time, and the filter basket melted after I made one cup. Check-in was time-consuming. Find another place to stay.2016-10-11"
"This hotel was absolutely awful. Our room door was open when we arrived. There were cigarette burns in the comforter, and a grocery bag over the light fixture above the bed. All the furniture was broken. People smoked marijuana in the parking lot. We left 10 minutes after checking in because I didn't feel safe.2022-06-23"

"There were roaches in the hallway; we told the hotel clerk, and although she said she'd call an exterminator, she didn't seem concerned. The bed blankets were damp. This was my 1st stay here, and it will definitely be my last.2019-11-03"

Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida. It is located in the northeastern corner of the state at the junction of I-10 and I-95, seventy miles south of Brunswick, Georgia. The Jacksonville Airport lies 15 miles north of downtown Jacksonville.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
