Hotel Courtyard by Marriott Jacksonville at the Mayo Clinic Campus/Beaches (Jacksonville Beach, USA)

If you or a family member is attending the Mayo Clinic, then this hotel offers a convenient place to stay, within walking distance of the clinic. A free shuttle service is also provided by the hotel, making it even easier to get there. It's also within easy reach of the beaches and Jacksonville's leisure activities.

Providing a resort-style environment, this Courtyard hotel has a range of facilities on offer, and guests love the leisure options in particular. The outdoor pool is pleasant all year round, because it's heated, so you can enjoy a refreshing dip before relaxing on a poolside lounger.

Guests love the onsite Bistro at this hotel, which provides not only breakfast, but also dinner options, as well as a bar for evening drinks. If you don't want the hassle of going out to eat, this is a great option, and guests rate the quality of the food and drinks on offer here.

Many guests comment on the fact that, while the hotel is very pleasant, they feel it's overpriced for what's on offer. Partly this is due to the location, particularly its proximity to the Mayo Clinic, but even so, some guests just don't think that it offers value for money.

Adding to the sense that it's overpriced is the lack of a free breakfast at this hotel. The bistro offers a breakfast menu for a surcharge, and is also the only place in the lobby to get coffee, which you also have to pay for. For guests used to free breakfast and hot drinks, this can come as a disappointment.

Some guests have commented on the fact that there's a rather sedate atmosphere at this hotel, and that it tends to attract an older clientele. If you're looking for a quiet, tranquil place to stay, then it's great, but if you're after the fun of Jacksonville Beach, it might not suit you so well.
