Best Western Oceanfront

I had to travel to Jacksonville for a family gathering and needed a hotel in the JAX Beach area. The hotel was in a great location, wonderful view of the ocean and not so big that there were too many people. The hotel is close to restaurants and other shops. It is only 2 short blocks from 3rd Street (Highway A1A). less

Three nights at Best Western Oceanside in Jacksonville Beach. The view from our balcony was beautiful and room was well appointed but that’s where it ended. -Lolly columns supporting all the 2nd story oceanfront balcony’s - except the end unit where we were (3rd floor balcony’s were ok) Considering the price we paid for an ocean front room, the exterior needs updating !! -Security door in the garage leading to 2nd/3rd floors did not lock which did not make us feel terribly safe. We spoke to front desk about our concern. Maintenance was to check but it never got fixed. - Our room was not cleaned one day after returning from a long day trip and housekeeping was gone for the day. We’ve always had very good experiences at Best Western’s so are very disappointed with our stay in Jacksonville. less

The room was plenty spacious, but the view wasn't what I'd hoped. Somehow, though I thought I had reserved an ocean front room, that's not what my reservation showed when I arrived. However, the staff was friendly, the breakfast was plentiful and the beach was just a short walk across the dunes. I do wish they had somewhere outside to easily wash off my feet. If they did, I didn't see it. less

Our stay here was very good! Oceanview! From check-in to check-out. No issues. Our check - in went very well. Asked for a restaurant recommendation and it was excellent choice. Needs updating, but they are working on it. Breakfast could use some improvements. less

This hotel suffers badly from outside noise. We've stayed there twice, once in a 'street side' room...there are bars that stay open until VERY late, and then we had leaf blowers wake us up at 5am. Second time, we thought we'd be smart and pay an ungodly price for an oceanfront room...nope, there are bars EVERYWHERE and I still didn't get much sleep. I was also a bit concerned at the scaffolding holding up all the balconies..for that kind of price I didn't expect that at all. All in all, it's in a great place for the beach, the hotel staff are good and friendly and very helpful. it's just. too. noisy... less
