Very Nice
Hampton Inn & Suites Jacksonville Deerwood ParkWe were greeted so, ok well our little Rat Terrier Maggie was greeted so, nice when we arrived! lol. The hotel is very nice, big, welcoming and lovely from the lobby to the patio to the breakfast room. Our room was spacious, very clean, the AC was a little loud but that just drowned out any other outside noise (to think positively). Breakfast has the usual hot foods (kinda ok-ish), and the variety of usual; waffle maker (very good waffles), toasts, muffins, cereals, fruit, yogurt type things. The hotel is very close to a variety of restaurants within walking distance or a short-short drive (we went back to Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse 1-1/2 blocks away, our first visit was a year ago while in Jacksonville -soo good!) We would definitely choose this hotel again when visiting Jacksonville.
Excited about the dog park!
Southern Oaks InnHotel is older, all outdoor rooms and vinyl flooring, beds comfortable and everything very clean. Walking in the room there's a dog bed and bowls available for our Maggie. They have a system at check-in that's easy to follow and when all is explained she was excited about the "big dog run and park with obstacle courses and everything." Our little girl is 10lbs, 14, blind and very particular about her 'spot' to go. So there's a big grassy area around the dog park as well. We did not take advantage of the complimentary shuttle at this hotel which would take you into town and pick you up to bring you back (because parking is difficult downtown and can cost $15-$20. if not in a public lot or on meter) and the shuttle was dog friendly. The kids (teens) and I were very happy with the hot breakfast served to us and many full breakfast choices that were complimentary. YES! a hot breakfast buffet (scrambled eggs, ham, potatoes, cheesy grits, chocolate chip pancakes) and fresh fruit and continental style other on the breakfast bar to choose from during the pandemic. Gave the hotel extra value and was so appreciated by all.
