I just stayed at the Hampton Inn, Jacksonville in mid-August 2006. Overall, I was pleased and plan to book this hotel again. I needed a room for two nights but they were completely booked for the second night when I reserved. So I got a King non-smoking for one night. The doors of the hotel are exterior, which I don't like, but because of a soccer tournament and a conference, this may have been the last room in Jacksonville. The front desk staff were very courteous and helpful. I walked away from the desk impressed after checking in, which doesn't happen often. The room was clean, the A/C worked well, they provided two firm and two soft pillows, and the shower worked very well (and had an adjustable head). I called down the next morning before I checked out to see if anything had become available. A room had opened up, but it was a Double Non-Smoking and my King had already been reserved. A cheaper rate was showing online (using the WiFi High Speed Internet access from Room #1) than the woman at the front desk had, so I booked Room #2 online while sitting in Room #1. Different staff person was also helpful, and told me they should have just continued my reservation instead of "making" me check out and in. Didn't matter to me, wasn't a hassle, but I appreciated her noting the faux pas. The second room was also clean and accommodating. There were a few hairs on the side of the tub which always gives me the skeevies, but I decided to overlook them. That was the only negative. The free continental breakfast was pretty nice: hot cereal packets, fresh and TASTY muffins and danish, pancakes and a few other things in individual microwaveable packages, juice, etc. Whenever I visit family in Jacksonville, I plan to stay at this hotel.
