I stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks in a row (minus the weekend). The front desk staff was very friendly and very helpful with whatever I needed. Housekeeping however, was not that great. I was usually up and out very early every morning, but on 2 occasions, I had late morning appointments so I was able to get up post-dawn, where unfortunately, my slumber was disturbed by the housekeeping staff being pretty loud in the hallway. Also, they were not always good about taking the garbage and the beds looked like Goldilocks may have slept in them while I was gone!
The room was pretty standard (I requested to stay in the same room for both weeks). I forgot to request a refrigerator, but they had already placed it in my room when I arrived (yeah, front desk staff!). The TV is a good size, and the bathroom is a pretty good size as well.
This is the first Courtyard which I have encountered in a long time, which does not offer (complimentary) continental breakfast. I am not a big breakfast connoisseur, but the occasional bagel, yogurt, hot chocolate would be nice. They do offer however, offer a breakfast buffet and other selections, starting at $7.95. I did not have breakfast, so I cannot comment on this.
The lobby is nice. There is a computer/printer available. I did some work on my laptop out by the pool one night, it looked nice, nothing extravagant, but still nice. They also offer a small bar of liquor, which can be billed to your room (again, did not partake, but noticed each night in the lobby). Complimentary copies of the USA Today and the Wall St. Journal were also available on the table, once off the elevator.
They also have snacks and a cooler of soda/water available (to purchase) in the lobby.
The pros for this location, is that 95 N/S are right up the street, St. Johns Town Center is only 15 minutes away, and the Jacksonville Beach is about 20-25 minutes away.
There are many stores/restaurants in the area, so it is very business-traveler friendly...if only they could fix the housekeeping issue, and they may earn a 4th star next time around..
