My girlfriend and I just completed a six-night stay at Hotel Ritual--my third visit, and I still…read morecan't fully put into words how well Whitney and her staff take care of everything to ensure your stay is perfect. And I do mean perfect. From the delicious breakfasts to the sound baths, facials, and massages, everything is thoughtfully run. The entire team does everything possible to make sure you get exactly what you came for: relaxation. As the Dalai Lama once said, "Simplicity is the key to happiness." The town of Jacksonville has an almost inert charm. It feels like stepping back in time about 20 years. People are genuinely friendly and caring, and there's a quiet warmth to the place that stays with you. Already looking forward to the car show in June.

The ambiance there is always inviting and so so so comfortable. The owner and the staff are so welcoming and friendly but also highly knowledgeable and skilled. Love-Love-Love The Hotel Ritual!

My wife and I just stayed here, June 2026. Wow! Compared to other Super 8's that we've used (we…read moretravel by road a lot), this place was wonderful. It is also extremely difficult to beat the price. Most of the places we've stayed recently have been four or five times the price and not even nearly as nice or clean. We found the motel staff to be very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and well maintained. It was quiet for this level of motel experience as one might say. It is a very good value and when we visit family in Palestine, Texas again, we will definitely stay here. I had the feeling that this property may be under new ownership and management and that they are trying very hard to provide a good service and a good value for their customers. Strangely, it makes it much easier for us to think about visiting family to have this as a future resource.

Although Priceline is partly to blame, the fact that Super 8 cannot internally fix something in…read morebooking is beyond ridiculous, especially since the realistic impact is next to nothing on their side. I use Priceline's Express Deal feature, which doles out Express Deal only coupons AND gives a deep discount, with the only catch being that the hotel is assigned at random. I used that feature at least 15x and I've never been assigned a smoking room until this booking now, which I wish they would've been put into consideration. Since secondhand smoke gives me a headache as it is; having to spend the entire night in a room with cigarette residue everywhere will be a big problem for me. As soon as I noticed, Priceline would tell me that it's the hotel's discretion to change rooms, and the hotel claims they had to assign the room exactly as requested, and it took 2 hours and escalating the matter all the way up to Priceline management to even have a compromise of booking a nonsmoking room at full price before they'd refund me. The fact that I have to pay more for bad service is an insult and enabling their bad behavior. I wish the hotel either would've just saved everybody the time and headache and just internally switch over to a nonsmoking room, or if Priceline would grant an exception and refund me since I've been so disillusioned with their dismal service that I neither wanted to stay here nor use Priceline that night, but I didn't have the type of disposable income to just forfeit everything at that exact moment, hence the reason why you're seeing this review.

We had a minor accident with the UTV and I took responsibility for it and let them charge my CC for $2500 and they were supposed to let me know the actual cost. Then I find out they were telling potential guest about the accident and acutely using our names regarding the accident. I thought they broke HIPPA law but my attorney said no, its defamation. She also said they cannot charge me for the UTV accident without 3 estimates. We had a little incident the previous year with our other friends and they said they would not return. I should have listened to them and stayed away from this place. I will in the future and will not refer any more friends.

We used their UTV/side by sides and explored the whole property, sat out by the fire pits at night, and just relaxed on the couch for some much needed disconnecting from the city..

It looks exactly how I'd imagine a cattle ranch home to look like. Swing around the little lake--bigger than a stock pond--and the cabin is dead ahead. No mints on the pillow. Everything is well worn but clean and comfortable. The bed was good enough. I really enjoyed all the pictures on the wall. Most of them had to do with native American's and their horses. It was as good a three night, mini-vaca as we could have hoped for. Did I tell you about the quiet? We were invigorated.
