Best Western Oceanfront

So far our water in the shower went cold after 5 minutes so only one person could shower and then renovations are SO LOUD. Really wish we knew this or we would have stayed somewhere else especially at that price!

I just loved this hotel. We showed up at the very end of the season and they were able to move us to an oceanfront room. Mariah at the front desk was so sweet and personable and brightened my day on the way to the Mayo Clinic every day. Can’t imagine staying anywhere else!

Best Western’s location was perfect! We were just steps from the beach, pier, and lots of great restaurants and bars! I would recommend the Pier Cantina next door for great drinks.
The room itself was more than we needed with a fridge, microwave, etc. It was nothing unique, but for the price and location, I thought it was pretty awesome! And the separate desk and couch area came in handy for my husband who ended up having to work for several hours while we were there.
I wasn’t impressed with the size or location of the pool, but not sure I would have used it anyway since the beach was right there!
The hotel staff was very attentive and accommodating. Check out was at 11, which would usually be great, but I really wanted I get in some extra time at the beach and be able to shower. So, they told me I could stay until noon for free or pay $ 10 and stay until 1 which I thought was well worth it. It made my day to get to spend an extra two hours at the beach before heading home!

Just recently relocated from Illinois down to Jacksonville was looking for a friendly down to earth stay and i found it monah was working the front desk and boy did she complete the process. Will definitely tell my friends and family that best Western is where it happens. Thank you monah.

I stayed at the Best Western Oceanfront for a week while on business. This hotel is in the best location. It is on the beach and only a few hundred yards from numerous restaurants. The rooms were clean and the staff was exceptional. The breakfast was a basic continental, but they had bagels and yogurt, so I was happy.

This is a gem. A great location at a resonable price. Very easy access to the beach; close to great Jax Beach restaurants. Well appointed rooms, most with an ocean view. Good service.

We stay here each year for the Georgia-​Florida game. It’s right on the beach, which is pretty kick ass. They have the world’s best Raisin Bran. I know what you’re thinking… It’s just Raisin Bran. But you’re wrong. You don’t want to pass it up, trust ThePetis.

I booked an ocean view room and couldn’t have been happier. Great view and just steps to the best spot on the beach — a shady spot under the fishing pier! :-) The room was much better than other beach front hotels I’ve stayed in. First, there was a dehumidifier: Big plus! And the room was super clean. Staff were so friendly and took care of arranging my cab back to the airport so I could spend more time on the beach before heading out. I’ll definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at the Best Western in Jacksonville Beach, Florida for two nights and were very disappointed, since we have stayed at others with no problems: our room was not made up after the first night, the night tables looked like they had not been cleaned in years, the toilet stopped up, the knob was missing on the bathroom door which made it difficult to close the bathroom door, and the breakfast room was so tiny that guests had to take food to their rooms. We definitely will never stay there again.

Great location, very clean, front desk reception were very helpful. Id give it 4 stars but of the 4 nights we were there, housekeeping only came once… my mistake, twice… however the one time she came in well after 3 and we were napping… so she ran out. The jacuzzi tub was FANTASTIC! It was huge and so relaxing. Great view of the beach & awesome location for bar hopping.

This place is a bit of a Dive, but it’s right on the water and the location is perfect for anything going on in Jax Beach.
The room was quite dirty. Lots of dead bugs next to the sliding glass door.
Multiple small spiders in the room, one of which I found chilling on my pillow. A huge flying creature as well was hanging out next to the sliding glass door.
Overall, the room felt pretty nasty. The rooms with no balcony are probably a bit fresher. The bed was actually quite comfortable and the pillows, one the spider was removed were great.
The front desk gals were really nice and professional, but overall it is not a place I would stay at again.

Steer clear of rooms 204 and 306. There’s a persistent motor sound inside the wall that will keep you up all night.
Otherwise the hotel was quite good.
The neighborhood was a bit shady, but that’s hardly the hotel’s fault.

Great staff and the location on the beach is GREAT!!! The place was clean and the staff made sure we had what we needed from extra towels to great places to eat… The breakfast buffet was good and well stocked during the morning hours… We will go back to this location…

Pluses: Clean, friendly, stylish, updated and close to everything. Ocean, Restaurants, Shopping, Night Life, Mayo Clinic (lots of folks stay here while visiting Mayo and they provide a special shuttle for no charge if you choose to use it).
Minuses: Can be noisy in rooms from nightclubs and bars next door (Thursday night through Sunday night). Proximity to beach/​humidity and inadequate climate control in the building dictate individual dehumidifiers are in each room. They are noisy little devils (but they do a good job on the humidity once you figure out how to set them). Mine filled up with water daily and once it is full of water, it starts beeping loudly to be emptied (the first time mine started beeping was at 3AM on the first night. I just made a habit to empty it every evening before bed after that.

For the Best Western, not that they are shabby, but it was great! The bed was amazingly comfortable and let me sleep like a bay bay. We upgraded to the king w/​a huge 2 person whirlpool which is right next to the bed. It gets nice and hot with a light that changes colors. The hotel is right on the beach with a nice little access to it which is about 100 yards from the pier. Lots of little restaurants and little bars within walking distance as well. The breakfast is a large Continental type with make your own Belgian Waffles which were great. Service was attentive as well.
