"Average hotel stay. The front desk clerks didn't seem to care about guests, and the cab service to the port and back was terrible. It was late taking us to our cruise ship, and we waited over an hour for it to pick us up when we returned to port.2015-07-24"

"Convenient to the St. Johns Mall. The interior needed maintenance and fresh paint. The carpeting was worn and dirty, and the shower was falling apart; the knob fell off while I was showering. Housekeeping service was late. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and plenty of parking.2019-06-11"

"Clean hotel with professional personnel. The TV didn't carry local news stations.2019-09-09"
"Not a good value. The hotel was being renovated, and the room was miserably hot since the AC didn't work. We were moved to another room, but the bathroom was disgusting; there was hair all around the toilet seat. An unpleasant stay.2018-04-27"
"Don't expect a 5-star hotel, but the room was nice and had been recently renovated. The building was old, and renovations will help a lot. Good experience overall.2017-10-29"
"Not a good value. The hotel was large and had poor signage. Unless you go through the front door, you can wander the hallways until you stumble upon the elevators. No balcony in my room as I expected, and no soap was provided. The side of the desk was damaged. The check-in clerk mumbled terribly. The fire alarm went off for a few seconds in the late afternoon. Find another place to stay.2017-10-27"
"The hotel had been remodeled and looked great. A pair of men's shoes were outside my door, and a man showed up at 10:30 PM with a key to my room. I called room service repeatedly before finally the front desk clerk took my order. The self-parking near construction was a hassle.2017-05-21"
"An awful experience. This hotel smelled bad, and there was mold all over, even on the mattress. I complained 3 times about noisy guests, and nothing was done. In the morning, the housekeeper asked me to take the garbage out and give her the used towels; then she gave me replacements and walked away. The front desk clerks was extremely rude. Don't stay here.2022-10-02"
"My experience at this hotel was horrible. There were no blankets on the bed, and the front desk clerk couldn't get any for us. We had trouble with the key card and kept needing assistance. Never got clean towels and couldn't even get a cart for our luggage. The front desk clerk wasn't helpful and acted like I was bothering him.2022-04-02"
"The hotel room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The door lock in the 1st room didn't work, so I moved to another room. The staff was great. Bring your own regular coffee.2022-03-26"

"One mile from TIAA Stadium. The room was spacious, but the view was limited. The sleeper sofa was OK. No problem checking in. Breakfast cost $12.95 per person. Parking was off-site and cost $10 per night. This hotel met our needs.2021-01-03"
"The toilet didn't work in the 1st hotel room. No one told us that breakfast cost $12.95 per person until we started eating.2018-01-01"

There was construction going on that created some issues with parking and congestion at the elevators. Good experience overall. Once renovations are finished, by all means stay here.2016-03-11"

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.
