Homewood Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Florida Review
Homewood Jacksonville Suites Florida offers extended and short-term stay accommodations to local and international guests. Based on my first-hand experience, the hotel offers enhanced features that exceed the expectations of all types of guests, whether traveling for leisure or business.
My first stay at this facility was for business reasons, and in line with this, I took advantage of the free WiFi and wired internet, spacious meeting rooms, complimentary breakfast, and a 24-hour business center. One thing I loved most about the hotel was the guest suites design that features separate sleeping and living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private bathroom with free toiletries.
After some busy hours of business meetings, my next destination was always the pool area or the fitness center, which allowed me to unwind. Sometimes I decide not to visit the swimming pool or fitness center and instead, have a drive to downtown Jacksonville, EverBank Field, Jacksonville Beach, Jacksonville St. Johns Town Center, the trendy San Marco area, or Dog Wood Park.
