I actually normally stay at either a Hilton or a Marriott, but due to the location near Naval Station Mayport and the beach I thought I would give Holiday Inn Express a shot. I am glad I did. The hotel is extremely clean, has free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, very comfy beds and pillows, a free breakfast, and the location couldn't be better. The free breakfast is good, nothing amazing, but good. There are flat screens in the bedrooms and more cable channels than any hotel I've been in. There's even a DVD player in the room that would be great if I was traveling with the family, on a rainy day I could pop in a kids movie. There are only two issues I have with this hotel. First, as others have stated, the rooms have thin walls! You can almost make out the conversations of the person in the room next to you. If you're on a different time schedule you'll surely be annoyed with your neighbor if you are trying to sleep when they are coming or going at the same time, or watching TV. The second issue, is the gym, or lack thereof. A couple treadmills and a bike and that's pretty much it. So if you're in to fitness you'll have to find other ways. There is always the pool though! The pool is actually pretty nice, is heated, and has a hot tub beside it as well. if it wasn't for those two issues the hotel would be close to perfect, especially for the price and location. It is only 15 minutes to Naval Station Mayport, and there are plenty of places to eat across the street, and the beach, with even more tourist attractions, is about a 10 minute walk. I will definitely be choosing this hotel next time I'm in Jacksonville or Jacksonville Beach.

If you really don't need to stay right on the beach, this is the place. And they allow pets! very nice with many little extras in the rooms and KILLER pillows. Super rates! I definetly will be back.....and i am here a lot!!!! LOVE IT!

Went down to visit family for New Year's weekend. Holiday Inn Express was just perfect. The room was clean and comfortable, my wife and I couldn't get over the comfortable mattresses. The bathroom was a pleasant surprise with separate tub and walk-in shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful, always greeting us as we came in the door. The location was perfect, being not even a mile from the beach and about a 5 minute drive to my parents' house. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip down to Jacksonville.

We spend Christmas in Jacksonville every year. I look forward to staying at the Jacksonville Beach Holiday Inn Express as part to the trip. The hotel is always immaculate. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are spacious and quiet. The decor is fresh & contemporary. I feel that this hotel is a fantastic deal! If you are looking to stay in this area consider the Jax Beach Holiday Inn Express! I have always been happy with my time spent at this hotel! The Holiday Inn Express brand has this location to thank for my business. Because of this particular hotel I now always think of Holiday Inn Express as an option when I am on the road.
