Great room and Jose the bartender was amazing!
Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront
4/5102 Reviews
Hotel location is quite good. Close to the beach. Go to the game and go directly to the boat. It is a round-trip ticket. Breakfast is delicious and not expensive. Asians should like it. In addition to parking, it is a little difficult. Other facilities are not bad.

I've stayed at econo lodges in Europe, Mexico and across the US. I've even stayed here before. But this trip was easily the WORSE HOTEL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! My experience was so awful... at one point, I thought I was being punked. But, unfortunately - this was all real. And really degrading. After driving 8 hours to get to Jacksonville (for business), I reach the front desk at 2pm. One hour before check-in time. I ask to check in early. Denied. ”Rules are rules.” So I wait in my car until official check-in time. At 3pm, I return to the front desk only to find the sliding partition closed. I knock on it - but I'm yelled to wait because they're having a staff meeting. Seriously? I and another couple stand around in the lobby for TWENTY FIVE minutes so that Krystal and her team can discuss about the shortage on one shift and the new procedures to tell guests that they'll be doing periodic room checks from now on. (Yes, I can hear you talking through the partition.) When they were good and ready, they opened the particition and couldn't find my reservation. It seems that corporate and their website operations accepted a reservation when they were fully booked. It wasn't until 4:30pm that I could finally check into my room. I could immediately tell that this was a room from the Hell Hotel - but Krystal assured me that she would get me a new room as soon as possible. (She never did.) THE ROOM The room was dark, damp, musty and disgusting. Even though the ******-like carpeting was dark, you could still see stains on it. The AC wasn't able to remove moisture from the air - so you felt like you were living in a human humidor. The globes around the light fixtures all had bugs (dead and alive) as well as mold and mildew in them. Bugs would show up on the walls from time to time. There was a family of dust bunnies living under my bed. The bed was lumpy and well-worn. The sheets: thin and cheap. The TV didn't even have a remote. (When I mentioned this to the front desk, they suggested I download an app to control the TV.) No smoke detector. A constant drip coming from my window AC unit. THE KITCHENETTE The word ”disgusting” is too nice for this efficiency kitchen. The stove top was crusted with... god knows what. The hood vent fan barely worked. The hood vent light was broken. The hood vent, itself, was falling off the particle-board cabinetry. The sink leaked under the cabinet. The microwave was old, beat-up and gross. The only thing here that was acceptable was the fridge. THE BATHROOM Suffice to say, I have found cleaner bathrooms at O'Hare airport. The shower stall featured mold in ever crevice. The tub floor hadn't been cleaned in a long while. The laminate on the bathroom shelf was peeling off particle-board. There was no toilet paper holder available. The sink had no stopper - and was the breeding ground for mosiquitos and knats. Whenever you'd turn on the water, bugs would fly out of the overfill hole. The faux-chrome sink faucet was pitted

There is parking lot The hotel environment is good. The steak inside the hotel is very good and worth recommending. American hotels are basically very old, don't have too much expectation.
