Embassy Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Baymeadows
On arrival the staff were courteous and had great energy for it being 5-6 pm. The room was great wasn't expecting to have a balcony so it was a great surprise. The last time we stayed at a Hilton the bed was hard as a rock but the bed here was so comfy. Breakfast was top notch best we've ever had ...
