Top Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens Hotel Reviews

Red Roof Inn Jacksonville - Cruise Port

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Sunshine Villa Two

10/10 Excellent

"We rented this property for two nights and it completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, everything felt thoughtfully designed, spotlessly clean, and genuinely welcoming.The space was bright, modern, and perfectly maintained. Every surface sparkled, the bedding was hotel-quality, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed (even the little extras like good coffee, fresh towels, and nice toiletries). The layout worked great for a short stay—comfortable living area, two cozy bedrooms that was quiet at night, and a bathroom that felt spa-like.Location was excellent: convenient to restaurants, shops, and whatever we needed, yet still peaceful enough that we could actually relax. Check-in was seamless, the host was responsive and helpful without being intrusive, and the whole experience felt effortless.Two days wasn’t nearly long enough. We left already wishing we could extend. If you’re looking for a place that feels special rather than just “fine,” this one delivers. Would book again in a heartbeat."

2BR/1BA Private Home

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very quiet and comfortable. The bedrooms are completely dark so you sleep like a baby. Everything about the house was really nice. The only challenge was the train coming through the neighborhood at night. Besides that, everything else was great. If you have children over the age of two, they’ll love the train. Overall, we had a great stay."

Riverfront House With Breathtaking Views, Grill, King Bed, Near Jaguars Stadium!

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great time just like last time. Enjoyed sitting outside watching the water. Beds slept good. A/c worked great. I would recommend this house. We rented 2 times to stay before a cruise."

Charming 1-bedroom apartment with WiFi, fitness room in Jacksonville

8/10 Good

"This a very nice and clean first floor property. A few areas for improvement:1. We had to contact the host for check-in and for instructions on how to enter the apartment after the check-in time. This was promptly done.2. The kitchen is nice but challenging to cook a meal for two: limited pots & pans, frying pans, and serving bowls. Utensils ok. One coffee mug. No toaster. We had to use the oven to toast. This situation could be easily remedied by a trip to Good Will.3. Lamps. All lamps had burnt out light bulbs (living room & bedroom). Bedroom has two night stands and one lamp. Again, another Good Will trip.4. Need extra chairs for the living room area as the pull out sofa is not comfortable to sit on (spring cushion and too deep for sitting). We used the chairs that were out on the porch.5. The air conditioner in the closet whistles when on. This is do to air leakage on the intake side that could easily be corrected with AC foil tape.6. There are multiple AC condensing units (from other apartments) outside the bedroom window that make the bedroom a little noisy. Nothing can be done about this.7. The gym is really not user friendly. Apparently there is an APP to access but we were not allowed to download it because we are guests. It was dependent upon staff being present for access and they are not always there.Overall, a good experience and value and convenient to many areas of JAX. Thank you."
