I did a staycation to escape my neighbor's fireworks during the fourth of July weekend. Check in was pretty easy as the friendly agent greeted me, thanked my platinum member status, and handed me the room key. While it was busy and no upgrades were available, I was given a room at the top (5th floor). The room was clean and comfortable with the requested king bed. The bed faced the window, which can get bright during the morning, but closing the curtains helped. The bed was very comfortable and I slept quite well. There was a sofa where I can watch my shows and movies in a decent size TV. There were an ample amount of cable channels, as well as Netflix, YouTube, etc. The sofa was small, but comfortable. The desk area had a coffee maker with good quality coffee. There was a mini fridge and microwave too. The AC worked nicely and kept the room cool, even during the hot days. I did notice that I didn't receive any maid service the next day, but it was ok as I was only staying for two nights The bathroom was nice and mostly spotless. I really enjoyed the shower was the water pressure was good, and the towels were soft and dried me up nicely. The bath amenities looked to be old as I didn't smell the scents that I enjoy. The lobby is the typical courtyard quality. I did enjoy the fitness center as it had a bit more equipment than other Courtyards, and the exercise ball was very helpful in practicing my riding skills. I didn't use the pool, but it looked good and other people seemed to enjoy it. The bistro had a drink special during July 4th. I don't remember what I had, but I remembered enjoying it for 10 dollars. Unfortunately, I didn't know the breakfast ended at 10am, and both days that didn't have the breakfast sandwich, so I ate at the cracker barrel next door instead. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave great suggestions on restaurants and helped me with directions. While most of the staff at the bistro were nice, one could have been a bit friendlier. I think he was really to leave his shift after breakfast ended. I will give credit to the staff for honoring my late checkout request for 4pm. I am very loyal to Marriott chains because they are very reliable and have mostly friendly staff. This courtyard is one of the better ones I stayed since it had more modern amenities and conveniences. I used 27,500 points for two nights, which I thought was worth it. I will definitely stay here again when I'm in the Jacksonville Butler area. Overall: A read more

Great little spot to rest my head for the night. The room was comfy. Pool was open late. And they have a nice little bar area downstairs. Good amount of parking for everybody. And everything you need as far as food is nearby. It's about a 20 minute drive to the beach. read more

Keep the Starbucks open past 9:30 AM for those that actually want coffee in the morning. You have the Cafe open till 10 AM on your information but it closes at 9:30 PM. Which is it? How are people to rely on your services if they're not accurate read more

I'm a longtime Marriott Bonvoy Member, and this Courtyard Marriott on Butler Boulevard in Jacksonville is, without question, the worst Marriott property I've ever stayed in. I booked through Booking.com for three nights (Sept 12-15) but left after one. Room 423 was disgusting -- filthy floors, stains, and bugs. After waking up with bug bites that required a trip to urgent care, I notified the front desk. They moved me to another room, but it was no better -- dirty, unkempt, and downright unsanitary. Meanwhile, the lobby was full of people who appeared to be on drugs, arguing and trying to check in while staff ignored it. Down the hallway near the ice machine, a pipe was leaking steadily, adding to the sense that this property has fallen into complete neglect. The worst part? The hotel refused to issue a refund, even for the nights I didn't stay. The general manager never followed up. Marriott Corporate offered me "points" as if that makes up for medical bills and an infested room. If this is what the Marriott brand stands for now, I'm genuinely disappointed. Bonvoy Members -- and any traveler -- deserve better. Do not stay here. This place is filthy, unsafe, and management simply doesn't care. read more

This was probably my worst hotel experience ever. The room was not clean. Hair found on the bathroom floor upon arriving- toenail clippings found under the desk - cobwebs found at eye level on the wall side of the bed. Requested that the room be cleaned- I'm glad I was working in the room when the housekeeper came. But I was surprised that mopping was just spraying the floor and using a large swifter to get the solution up (the hair remained). Running the sweeper - meant high traffic areas only. There were crumbs under the furniture- it needed the suction hose to be used. The baseboards could have benefited from this as well. On our last night you could tell that they didn't even bother making our beds completely. And I think there was black mold in the shower. read more

Be watchful of this Marriott, 1 month after I stayed there. They tried to sneak a $50.00 charge onto my credit card. Probably thinking that I would not notice it. My bank caught it. Be aware!!! read more

3/4/24 One night stay. Hotel is close to I-95 with a lot of restaurants around. Front desk staff were very friendly and had my reservation ready upon my arrival. The bistro bartender was super outgoing and mixed a decent Old Fashioned that I enjoyed. Two double beds with plenty of space. Work desk if you are on business. The HVAC worked great (a must in FL) and the shower water temp was very hot (another plus for me). Room 513 was clean and bed was very comfortable. Enjoyed my stay and will visit again when in Jacksonville for business. read more

Really friendly staff despite seeming decently busy. The rooms are nice and clean, and I love that they have flavored water in the lobby. And that they give you a little welcome bag with water bottles. The TVs are in a really nice spot for you to just watch from bed and the beds themselves are so! comfy! Which is the biggest plus for me. read more

Staff was phenomenal. I am from Arizona and was there for almost 6 weeks. From day 1 everyone i interacted with was welcoming, energetic and even remembered details I'd never expect anyone to remember which made myself and my other travelers with me feel special. Mike at front desk was very memorable for his over the top strong service and the coffee spot down in the lobby was on it every day and even remembered peoples drinks it was very impressive. Loved this experience and was only about 9 min away from downtown and the nightlife in Riverside. read more

I was cheerfully greeted by Sam when I arrived Sunday evening. What a gem. The entire front desk desk and management here is phenomenal! Every single one of them was great. You know how sometimes during a long hotel stay you have favorites? It was impossible here because each person was as great as the next. It was nice to have a place run by grownups. Sorry, not sorry Gen Z! The front lobby/lounge is spacious. Eating outside by the pool was great. This location is super close to my favorite organic juice place Roots and in an areas near a ton of other hotels and on a mostly empty turnabout so the road was easy to get to even during high traffic times. Parking was easy and felt safe even being alone as a woman at night trying to grab the stuff out of my car. The housekeeping mgr and the engineer Brendan were also wonderful and helpful and went the extra mile too! I'll definitely choose this place again. The elevators were easy to use and both were in use so I never had an issue getting downstairs quickly when I was trying to get to my meetings. read more

Our room could use a major update. Looks like it's been this way since the mid 90s. Bathroom is really in need of a good cleanup. The gym equipment is pretty sad, two threadmills neither working very well at all and one elliptical machine. It was nice to have cold filter water in there, bonus after a good workout. Staff that we engaged with were super friendly. My son had breakfast and it was very good according to him, I had a Starbucks coffee,. It was made just the way I like it. The dining area was clean as was the lounge area. read more

Nice and clean. Staff is super nice. We had 2 adults and 2 kids visiting Jacksonville for a soccer tournament. Pool was open for the kids to play. They had a breakfast available, but we didn't get breakfast. Easy to locate. Easy to get to gas stations and different shops. I would recommend. read more

Why 4 stars? Because I'm a fan of Courtyard! --- --- --- For years, I did not have hotel loyalty. I travel a decent amount, but I'd just use hotels.com to book whatever made sense price & location wise, regardless of brand. I recently signed up for a Marriott credit card and am now switching over to the world of staying at any hotel under the Marriott umbrella. My stay at this Courtyard was the first of what I assume will be many years of this new strategy. The verdict? It's hard to find much to complain about with this stay! The only small things I can note: this hotel isn't necessarily "out-dated" but it's not what you'd call modernized, either. I'd assume there will probably need to be a little updating in the near future. And secondly, the water pressure in the shower wasn't great. But outside of that, I really enjoyed it! I loved the fact that the room got nice and cold and that the A/C had an option to keep the fan constantly running all night. At home, I sleep with a fan for the white noise, so that's always a nice bonus. Everything about the bed was super comfortable too - the pillows, the blankets, the mattress - it all worked! While my stay here was very brief - I arrived late on a Monday and departed on a Tuesday morning, it was enjoyable and I'd stay here again. read more

Stopped here for the night on our family road trip. Hotel is spotless, excellent service, and beautifully decorated. Loved the modern bathroom and shower! Comfortable beds and pillows. Highly recommend! read more

Worst hotel I've stayed at in a long time. Room door would not close properly. No ice in ice machine. Very noisy. Had to pay for coffee to go. Lumpy bed. not as clean as it should have been. They will not have to both with me staying here again. read more

This is a solid courtyard. It has just been renovated so it is newer and much better than the photos show. The staff here is friendly and accommodating. It's in a decent location to get around town and the parking here is always ample. The rates are standard for the area, you can get better deals but for the same quality but the rates here are quite competitive to begin with. read more

Here for a business trip and this hotel is the overall better option of the four properties that surround it. The lobby is beautiful and clean and the staff is very friendly. Morning breakfast lines are long even on weekdays so you have to plan accordingly if you would like to grab a bite here. Food is good, all dinner items are prepared in a microwave/convection oven but still cost 10-13$. The room was nice, could use an update as it was very dark, no light above the shower so it was darker in the shower. My bed was comfortable and I slept well. I would stay here again overall. Thankful for the staffs kindness and courtesy. read more

Courtyard by Marriott Jacksonville Butler Boulevard - King size business room - Hotels Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

OUTSTANDING...staff, customer service...room was nicely furnished, clean and smelled fresh. I arrived on Christmas afternoon - upon my arrival I was greeted by Annie (front desk associate) and Lindsay (front desk supervisor) both ladies were friendly, efficient, and very helpful. Checkin was very fast and was provided with the layout of the hotel...gym, business center, etc. The lobby area appears to be newly renovated...guessing within the last year or so...everything is very clean and well designed. There is a Bistro and Starbucks in the lobby. There are quite a few TV's in the lobby and breakfast area, always displaying the weather and traffic conditions nearby. There is a pool behind the hotel, nicely fenced and very well kept. My room was located on the 5th floor on the West side...very nice layout...the bed was very comfortable, it was not too hard and not too soft. The design of the room is perfect as well which reduced the noise heard from the hallway. The room was nicely furnished, clean and smelled fresh. It came with a one cup coffee maker, but no microwave. The bathroom was also clean and very nice. The free wireless Internet access worked fine. I was impressed by how little noise I heard from other rooms. As for food there is a Cracker Barrel shares the parking lot space so you can walk to Cracker Barrel, Applebee's, or The Waffle House. . I would recommend staying here if you want a nice clean convenient hotel. As a business traveler I get the opportunity to stay in various hotels. I have to say this has to be one of the best I've stayed at in awhile. The thing I liked most about this hotel is the convenience factor of the location...right off I95 and JTB so easy on and off the highway. If you are traveling with family or needed snacks that are not in the Market store in the hotel...there is a Publix store for groceries a few blocks away from the hotel (not walking distance) Overall I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. read more

Note: I didn't actually stay here - I was just here attending a session for a Summit conference. With that being said though / if I did have a reason I needed to stay locally in a hotel I'd definitely stay here. During our summit the attendants and servers were all super attentive. The conference room we booked was smaller than we had planned for but in true agile fashion the staff made it work seamlessly. Our lunch was yummy complete with a super delicious fudgy brownie!! Yum!! Thanks for a wonderful summit and for your partnership with Acosta! read more

Beautiful hotel, clean, friendly staff, lots of extras including an amazing little bar/bistro. Mark, the bartender is terrific, so personable and funny and boy can he cook!! We had a flatbread and the veggie pasta with chicken added. Both were homemade and delicious. Beautiful, perfectly cooked veggies, including broccolini. The chicken was moist and very tasty. If I lived nearby I would come here for lunch or dinner read more

This is apparently the new design of Courtyards, and it's fantastic. Modern and stylish. Nice lobby and reception area. Bar and Starbucks. Free super-fast wifi. Stayed at JW Marriot flagship in Chicago last week (which was terrific) and I was snobbishly disappointed to see "Courtyard" on this week's itinerary. But I must say this place has completely exceeded all expectations (I've only been here 20 minutes so there may be some surprises, good or bad, to come...) I plan to promptly join Marriot's loyalty program. read more

I love the hotel staff and they are very accommodating. Daniel at the front desk is one of the nicest concierges I've ever worked with. The rooms are nice and spacious. The cleaning staff is very efficient. I've always had great stays here. Sometimes the wi-fi is a little slow, but at least it's included with the price of your room. read more

This is an awesome Marriott on the Southside if Jacksonville. They have free WiFi and my room had a smart TV. So I had the choice of watching Netflix, Hulu, and other smart apps. You are only 5 minutes away from the St Johns Town Center and about 25 minutes away from the beach. This is a nice little in town getaway!!!! read more

Spent 2 nights here while traveling for business. The lobby was clean and bright and the staff were all attentive, eager to help and friendly. Overall the hotel would be excellent if the price was reasonable but we spent $189 per night and this is not an almost $200 per night hotel. The room was clean but dated. The beds were comfortable but all the pillows were very soft- so much so that I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond after the first night and purchased a better pillow. The TV was small and on a very low table- making it hard to watch from the bed. It was a SmartTV and had Netflix and other nice features. There was only one open outlet around the bedside table so only one phone could be charged by the bedside- and that outlet was only available because we unplugged the clock. The bathroom left a lot to be desired. The sink had minimal counter space and the water pressure in the shower was marginal at best. Interestingly the shower head was way off center which made you stand at an odd angle to shower. The towels were clean and acceptable. There were a few mildew and rust spots but nothing that ruined the experience. On a comical note, there was a switch on the wall over the desk that was marked "Engineering Use Only". We really wanted to turn it off to see what would happen but refrained. Breakfast was slightly better than standard hotel fair. The French Toast was excellent, but the eggs and sausage patties were not very tasty. Overall, the hotel was acceptable and clean, but should offer more for the price or the price should be more in line with comparable mid-range hotels. read more

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.. read more

I cannot say enough about the staff at this hotel! Top notch customer service! They really make you feel like you are a GUEST, and not just a customer. Always clean, always friendly - the perfect stay, if you are in Jacksonville! There are plenty of hotels in this area and this is a little hidden gem! Kudos to this hotel! read more

This hotel is above average from what I can see of other hotels in the area. Every room has a balcony and the bed is against an interior wall so you don't get the noise from neighbors when you're trying to sleep. All of the staff is so friendly and welcoming - front desk, housekeeping, bistro staff. A couple of major things that keep me from 5 stars: it's not close to the beach if that's what you're here for, there is no light in the shower so getting ready is a little dark, and the girl at the bistro did not change her gloves as often as I would have liked to see (going from making food, grabbing table numbers, grabbing the storage door, back to making food). Other than that it was a pleasant stay. read more

This was the best hotel we stayed in our 11 day road trip. We almost switched hotels everyday. The rooms were very clean, staff was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel had a decent gym and the breakfast was very hearty. They provide vouchers for in house bistro which had a decent selection for make to order items. This was a decent change for us from all the continental breakfast buffet that we had where a lot of items served seem frozen. I wish Marriott did this for all their hotels. read more
