Jacksonville Hoteller i Downtown

The views were beautiful! Great staff and location. The hotel was noisy even in your room. They have complementary earplugs got you because of some construction going on and you can hear everything in the hallway and room next door.

The staff is very friendly and go above and beyond. They are amazing at what they do. The hotel gift shop is very over priced. $5.50 for one water. There isn't anything to do other then the pool and the beach is 30 minutes away. Not too far but still have to get there especially if you choose not to rent a car and pay their $15 per day charge to park it there. Restaurant food is good, but limited selections. The entire hotel smelled like marijuana because the AST sorority girls were having an event there and were smoking all night in their rooms. Staff were very quick to try to stop it and spray the hallways and rooms. The event floors are very large and theres a lot of event rooms to choose from with a mail room up there and business center. Beautiful hotel, but expensive and kind of boring other then the bars inside because the location. Expensive necessities. Expensive parking. Restaurant menu is very limited. Walk way that goes through the hotel outside behind the restaurant I believe is where it's located, has no lighting. The Wifi sucks horribly. Constant disconnecting even the people that paid for extra wifi had problems.

No helped is with our luggage when we arrived. Had to load, unload and wheel logguge cart ourselves. Someone's used razor left in shower. Used coffee cup in KIERIG machine. When leaving the next morning, there was a luggage valet guy and we were told that we HAD to use him instead of using the luggage cart ourselves. He loaded our luggage and took it outside, where he abandoned it on the curb and walked away. My fiancé was getting the car (we were instructed to park in next door lot instead of parking deck bc we were traveling with a kayak in top and was too big for garage heighth). While I'm standing by our luggage still sitting on rolling Cart outside of hotel, a valet guy pulls up a car then backs it up directly in front of me. I asked him if he could pull forward since my fiancé was pulling in right behind him. Instead of being helpful or moving the car, instead he just shrugged his shoulders and went to get another car. So we had to park on the other side and load all of our luggage ourselves (although plenty of staff seemed to be around except the actually luggage valet that we foolishly already gave a $15 tip too.! Very rude people here!

Only valet parking offered. The parking lot next to the hotel, which was not affiliated with Omni, was supposed to be $10/day max but we were charged $20 each morning when we were leaving the lot because "the time resets at midnight, therefore you are charged $10 till 12:00am and then $10 for this morning". The thermostat in our room did not work correctly. We reported it to the front desk, but upon our return to our room that evening we noticed that someone changed our fan setting from "auto" to "high" but the thermostat still did not read correctly and never cooled properly.

location air conditioning units loud and old. carpets and bathrooms sub standard.
