Courtyard

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 02 Oct 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

It was a comfortable room and almost clean, the staff with the exception of the person who checked me in seemed to care about my health and wellness, the food was overpriced and very bad I had all I could do to choke it down.

Positives: The staff with the exception of clerk was nice and the lady who drove me to mayo was nice.

Negatives: Clerk was rude, and short. food was over priced and bad, there was a hair on my coffee pot that was not mine.

Great clean hotel, convenient location, good food on the restaurant, free Wi-Fi in the comfortable common area and a great pool. I would stay here again! The hotel is on the Mayo Clinic grounds and the Mayo seemed closed - we never saw anyone around there. But it was a weekend. It had nice grounds to walk all around though and a marked, (with mileage) walking/jogging trail.

Positives: The rooms were clean and modern and the free Wi-Fi in the common area was great. The pool was nice, too!

Negatives: It was a little odd being on the Mayo property - it was always very quiet and seemed closed.

Positives: It was very clean, quiet, convenient, and provided everything that I needed.

Negatives: I would have preferred a 1 king sized bed vs. 2 doubles.

Nice hotel and great location for the Mayo Clinic. The prices in the restaurant and market are very, very high priced.

Positives: Great price through Priceline, Bid Your Own Price.

Negatives: The price in the Bistro (Hotel Restaurant).

Negatives: Plumbing did not work, no cold water.

This was hardly a 3 star hotel. First, it had no microwave. The ;little cube style refrigerator should have been called a 'minifreezer.

Positives: Bed was comfortable.

Negatives: No microwave, awful minifridge, no free breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 28 Mar 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

This should not be considered a "beach" hotel. It is affiliated with Mayo Clinic and not close to the beach.

Positives: Clean.

Negatives: No free breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 24 Mar 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

Nice updates, has a "masculine" feel.

Positives: It was an upgraded Courtyard to resemble a boutique hotel.

Negatives: This boutique concept changes usual expectations of hotel lobby, difficult to ascertain registration desk personnel.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 29 Jan 2011 rated 10 out of 10.

The room was updated, fresh, modern and comfortable. TV, refrigerator were nice amenities. Lobby/cafe/TV room was very comfortable and welcoming. Pool looked great but it was too cold to swim in January. Staff was very helpful. Liked the little food store in lobby area for late snacks. Felt safe and welcomed.

Positives: Convenient to Mayo Clinic and staff was accommodating.

Negatives: The two Internet computers in lobby were slow/ broken/ old. Would update and add a third.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 03 Jan 2011 rated 6 out of 10.

Comfortable and beautifully updated.

Positives: Nicely updated and comfortable room.

Negatives: I was very disappointed in the location. I chose the beaches, and was still a good 5 miles from the beach.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 09 Dec 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

I expect a 3 star hotel to have a decent TV in the room, and offer movies on demand.

Positives: New part was nice.

Negatives: Under renovation, awful TV, no movies.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 18 Nov 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

Good location for the Mayo clinic. Not far from the beaches, but a drive was needed. The main areas and rooms were being renovated which was noisy. I wish I had know as I would have stayed elsewhere.

Positives: It was a safe location and very clean.

Negatives: They were under construction in many areas. The breakfast was not free.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 25 Oct 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

I stayed at this hotel this weekend. I asked for an early check in when I got in town and the staff was more than accommodating. People need to realize that this hotel is being remodeled and there are issues but overall the hotel is good. It is in a good location, even though it is in the Mayo Clinic area. It is accessible to other areas close by. I enjoyed it. Bathrooms were clean and beds were clean and comfortable. Overall, great hotel.

Positives: Room was clean, staff great

Negatives: Undergoing construction

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 18 Oct 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

This hotel is on the Mayo Clinic campus. During our stay - Oct 2010 - the hotel was undergoing Heavy construction. The lobby was temporarily setup in a small meeting room. Staff was friendly and helpful. In terms of quality and comfort the rooms were OK at best. Being adjacent Mayo, many patrons of the hotel were carrying flowers, in somber mood, etc. as you would expect If you'd planned to say in a hotel adjacent a hospital.

Positives: Staff was friendly & accommodating.

Negatives: Room quality was mediocre at best.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 12 Oct 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 14 Sep 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

Relatively nice place, clean, the staff was fine. Our door was hard to shut because the top hinge was coming loose, they fixed it pretty quick. There was no complementary breakfast (after they checked our reservation). Apparently some people get free breakfast but others don't. I thought that was dumb. The pool was small, but really warm. I enjoyed swimming in it. No one else was using it. It appeared most of the people staying here were old and/or sick. Pretty quiet place.

Positives: The swimming pool was just the right temperature.

Negatives: The door was hard to shut until they came and fixed it.

It was ok for needing a room that we would only sleep in. It was quiet and the front desk staff was exceptionally nice.

Positives: Convenient location.

Negatives: Right by the mayo clinic.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 12 Jun 2010 rated 1 out of 10.

I requested a King bed a week before my trip and was told by the hotel that would not be a problem, but when we arrived, they gave me a double bed. I called the front desk and was told that a my reservation only guaranteed me a room that would sleep two people. When I told the clerk that I requested a King bed more than a week before my arrival, he said he couldn't do anything about that and all he had was the room we received. I will never stay at Marriott again.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: I suppose to have a King bed and got a double.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 04 Jun 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was clean, the service was great, next time provide us with the free breakfast as requested. Thank you.

Positives: Our stay at the hotel was great. Thank you.

Negatives: The only thing we did not like about this hotel was that we ordered free breakfast and was not provided.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 22 Mar 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Very efficient, knowledgeable, friendly staff, eager to please their guests, timely and unintrusive housekeeping staff, and close proximity to the beaches as well as downtown Jacksonville make this an attractive place to stay.

Positives: The quiet location on the Mayo campus.

Negatives: It was fairly difficult to find, even with the GPS.

Very nice clean friendly I want one of those beds.

Positives: Beds.

Negatives: TV

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 17 Aug 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

It was very convenient to the beach. This hotel seems to cater more to the older, business traveler. The demographic looked to be 60 and older when we came down for breakfast every morning. Makes sense being that it's partnered with the Mayo Clinic. I think the TVs are dated and the channel selection could be better (No Comedy Central or Music channels). Small balcony was a nice touch. If I'd paid full price, I'd be quite disappointed.

Positives: For the price we paid and proximity to the beach, it was excellent!

Negatives: Hotel seems just a tad bit removed from restaurants, shopping, etc.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 13 Aug 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

Clean, nice surroundings, very nice pool. It was a very relaxing environment. My GPS couldn't locate the address. Breakfast is not included but is available.

Positives: Nice pool.

Very quaint setting among the oaks at Mayo clinic. Only minutes from the beach, but without the parting atmosphere of the beach.

Positives: Very helpful morning staff.

Negatives: The carpet looked dated.

Check the bed linens. The sheets on one of the beds had<BR/>stains on them. Instead of changing them, the housekeeper just flipped them. It was awful.

Positives: The bed was comfortable.

Negatives: The sheets on one bed were soiled when we arrived.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 03 Aug 2009 rated 1 out of 10.

This was a terrible experience! We called the hotel to say that we would be arriving late. The room was cancelled! When we did arrived the clerk was rude, checking us in for only one night although we had already pre-paid through Priceline for four. When we didn't check out, a manager came to our door to ask when we could be out of the room because we had overstayed the checkout time. We checked out!!! losing the pre-payment that we had made for the two remaining nights. We would not stay in such an inhospitable hotel!!!

Positives: Nothing

Negatives: My night clerk was rude and made mistakes registering us.

Positives: Hot Tub.

Negatives: Not allowing dogs.

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel to attend a karate tournament on Beach Blvd. This hotel was very convenient because it was not right on Beach Blvd but was very close so we did not have the hustle and bustle of the busy blvd but all the convenience of the shops nearby. The person at the front desk was very helpful. Our room was a little smaller than we anticipated but was clean and already cooled. I loved that the bedspreads on the beds were covered with a light sheet material that is taken off and washed along with the sheets. Overall this was a lovely hotel that I would happily stay with again. The location on the Mayo Clinic campus was serene and peaceful which lead to a relaxing stay.

Positives: Helpful and friendly staff.

Negatives: Needs a good overall cleaning.

Hotel was easy to find, 2 miles from Jacksonville Beach, which was a very easy drive! I was a little disappointed at the cost of the breakfast buffet ($11.00 per person) which was a little steep for the offerings, although you could have your eggs custom prepared. Overall, I would recommend and plan on stay here again!

Positives: Exceptionally attractive and wonderfully clean!

Negatives: All ice machines were frozen except one, which kept getting emptied!

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 23 Jul 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

First, we were told the wrong directions to get to the hotel - taking us 45 minutes out. Once we got there, the first room we went to had a strong smoke odor as soon as you opened the door; the 2nd room was filthy and hadn't been cleaned (this was 9pm) and smelled. The asst manager then moved us to a suite which was much better - only complaint is that the maid came at 9a on Sat and knocked on the door to wake us - even though the do not disturb sign was on the door. Room needed more lighting in the bedroom.

Positives: Friendly waitresses in the dining room.

Negatives: No dining services on Friday & Saturdays.
