Convenient location. Staff was nice but didn’t see many. Fans were loud in the room and the bathroom like they were about to break. Tub had stains that made the bathroom feel not clean. Rugs need to be replaced. No mini fridge and no microwave in the room. Prepaid for parking upon reservation but self parking was a scan to park area paid separately. Good stay just to go to sleep after going out in the city for a few days.

We’ve never stayed at a Doubletree in such terrible shape & in need of a renovation.
The hotel was very old, not well maintained. Elevators were slow and sounded old. The carpet in our room was in bad condition and appeared not to be properly vacuumed. no towel bar in the bathroom. There was a load noise (probably the elevator) above our room. We couldn’t sleep so we had to switch rooms at 1am. The other room was in similar (old) condition. No ice on at least 3 floors ( we stopped searching after the 3rd floor). Very disappointing for $500 a night!!

The shower drain water would not go down and the floor tiles were slanted. Room smelled like cigarettes and so did the towels. Mold on the tiles of the bathroom... got a refund and got told to wait until 2 am to see if there would be a new room. No thanks, I went to the Marriot.

Booked through third party . Surprise fees were parking and a $200 hold on my card for incidentals. , fees fur WiFi. Am accustomed to Hampton who provides a mini fridge and continental breakfast. Location was the selling point but it worth it when you have to pay for anything that is usually provided even at the small motels . Not impressed with hotel. Front staff was the greatest

Room was clean. I booked a river side room and was put in a cityside, when I reminded them they changed it. View was breathe taking. 😀 Had to pay for parking which I had never had to do before 😞 should be included with your stay? Then I was under the understanding that buffet breakfast was included and was brought a bill for $42, for some scrambled eggs, bacon and yogurt for me and a yogurt, bacon a piece of sausage for my grandaughter? $42 ???? Location and view is not worth that, sorry.

Incredible City View!!!! , but probably one of the worst Hiltons I’ve ever stayed at. Terrible condition, Mold, tons of damaged furniture, terrible bathroom, not great beds, no coffee in the room, nor was there a decent coffee station in the lobby. I usually stay at Hiltons, but in this case I should have just stayed in the Motel 6 down the road. I obviously payed for the view because all I really got out of it.

Came and visited Jacksonville for the first time on vacation and stayed here for 6 days, along with a friend who stayed in a separate room. We loved the location, riverfront view and pool area. The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, this hotel needs work and upgrades, to put it kindly. Here are a list of inconveniences that we both found very annoying: my friend was unable to receive hot water during his showers regularly, my sink clogged and was also leaking all over the bathroom floor, my room key lock had to be fixed and they charged me $152 for parking for 6 days. And last but not least; there was NO water machines and the ice maker did not work. We are both very simple men from the Midwest who were just looking for the necessities and don’t like to complain. I was pissed on numerous occasions by these inconveniences. Above all, this hotel has very friendly and helpful staff with much potential. But overall, it was a disappointing experience.

Absolute misrepresentation of what the pictures look like or the acclaimed 4-Star hotel classification. The entire property is old and could use a total renovation (particularly the scary-old elevators). Rooms are tiny and look so old as well. The restroom sink is outdated in size and style (a tiny flat surface sink with a wooden bottom stand with doors) and also had a bad smell. The television is probably the most annoying mess of the lot (perhaps the last straw that triggered this review) - a completely outdated TV from the 90s that has no semblance of modernity and you would find better quality televisions laying on the streets than the ones in the rooms. TIP: If you keep such TVs, add a channel booklet to help guests find channels.

Other ridiculous takeaways:

1. Charging $100/day incidental deposit

2. $22/day self-parking

3. No refrigerator or microwave in rooms

We did however have a nice view on our balcony of the River and Jax. House keeping was very accommodating unlike the front desk staff.

Disappointed in our stay. Our Junior Suite was located on the eighth floor (827). This room is next to the elevator. The headboard of the bed is on the wall of the elevator shaft. That is what you hear anytime the elevator is used. In addition the room is closest to the bridge. So you hear the bridge traffic all night. And to top off our stay, it was garbage pick up night and the dumpsters are also kept on the ground below the room. They pick up the garbage at 4:30. So we got very little sleep over our two night stay.
So advise to be sure you have a room away from elevator, bridge and garbage.

The room we were originally given was gross, and the bed was broken in the middle. We changed rooms and ended up in another dirty room. The hallways are filthy, and the exterior is unkempt. I have never been to a Doubletree in this shape. Hotel staff claim that it's due to the age of the building. I'm calling b/s on that. This building had a 12 million dollar upgrade 11 years ago. Poor management and staff thriving off ruining the Doubletree name have ruined this location, and a complete overhaul is needed. Or, just sell it to Motel 6; then there might at least be a name that suits the state of this hotel.
