The staff here are very welcoming and eager to please. Everyone I encountered was lovely from front desk to bar staff and housekeeping. I had a king room on side of hotel. Not ocean front, but ocean view and it was beautiful. The one major disappointment was the bathroom. It's very small. Shower door opens and hits bathroom door. Water pressure and temperature of hot water was poor. Otherwise I had a wonderful weekend stay. The pool is beautiful and heated. There's an amazing patio area by pool and outside the bar with ocean view. Walk to the ocean is very quick, and I highly recommend catching a sunrise.

Salt Air Inn and Suites was one of a few hotels suggested by our local friends (Jacksonville Beach)…read moreto stay at for their wedding on Ponte Vedra Beach. This was the site of their post-wedding Sunday pool brunch. They had reserved the hotel's entire fenced-in pool area for the brunch, which is one big reason I think they chose this place. We had a great time. According to Salt Air's website (https://www.visitsaltair.com/about.html), this hotel was originally built in 1946 as the Salt Air Motel. It definitely has that older motel feel, which I can actually find to be appealing. Also according to the site, the hotel was rebuilt in 2022, which makes sense. The whole property felt updated and refreshed to me. It's not a big place, sandwiched in between a McDonald's and the Hotel Palms. Parking is somewhat limited. When we first arrived, I accidentally parked at the Hotel Palms thinking it was Salt Air. They both have similar old-school motel vibes, but modernized to be more chic (Hotel Palms especially so). Hotel Palms was built only a year after Salt Air, in 1947. However, unlike Salt Air, Hotel Palms does not have a pool. They do have a cool little coffee shop though, which we visited. It's called Show Pigeon Coffee. If you're staying at Salt Air, it's definitely worth walking next door to check it out. The Sunday pool brunch ended promptly at 1pm so the hotel could clean the rooms and common areas in preparation for the next batch of guests. I liked the low-key, retro atmosphere of Salt Air. From/to Jacksonville International Airport, I would plan for about a 45-minute drive each way due to traffic. Salt Air is only a few blocks away from the beach.

Apparently this property changed hands soon after we made online reservations. No advertised…read moreamenities were available: the breakfast we paid for did not exist, nor did coffee, tea, bottled water or coffeemakers in the room. The bath towels were barely bigger than a hand towel, and there was no housekeeping service available, not even for more towels. There were no washcloths, no Kleenex, one plastic cup. The first night, a busy Saturday night, I was kept awake by the sounds of trucks and motorcycles roaring by. The only positives were that the room was clean, and the location was a quick walk to the charming Atlantic Beach downtown. The bed and pillows were terrible - lumpy, uncomfortable and old. Making it worse was that the office was only open from 10-5, and we had prearranged tours booked that precluded us from being at the hotel during those hours. We paid for 3 nights at the wildly exorbitant rate of $300/night, but checked out after 2 sleepless nights. My written complaints to the manager (we checked out before 10:00) went unanswered.

I booked this hotel through Expedia but accidentally selected the wrong dates. I realized the…read moremistake almost immediately and canceled the incorrect booking within ten minutes, then rebooked for our actual stay. We only occupied the hotel on our correct dates, so the property suffered no loss. Despite this, I was charged $517.94 for the unused, promptly-canceled reservation. Neither the hotel nor Expedia would help with a refund--every attempt to reach the property was ignored, and Expedia claimed the hotel alone could authorize a refund. This rigid, unresponsive policy has put a real financial burden on my working family. Businesses should treat guests fairly when honest mistakes are corrected instantly. I strongly recommend future guests book elsewhere or read the cancellation policy very carefully!

The beach access itself was amazing--super convenient and made it easy to go back and forth throughout the day. The rooms had a nice coastal theme and were both comfortable and very clean.

The food was decent, not the best but good bar type food. I got the Caribbean salad with grilled shrimp because I got it with the chicken last time and didn't like that it was cold.

The hotel was clean and the people who work there were very nice. The only thing I found a little unusual was they did not have anyone to help carry your luggage. They had carts available but you had to load the cart and take the luggage to your room for yourself. I am aware that not all hotels offer this service but I have stayed at the Margaritaville in Hollywood where they do assist with this. Other than that, it was a great time staying there. The room was very pretty and the restaurants in the hotel were nice as well.

What I liked: There was a free pre-packaged breakfast for you to grab and go. Location- this hotel is basically on top of the beach for a nice beach stroll Free parking Free Wifi Location- it was in an area close to other amenities you might need. Room- I like the shower pressure The room itself was cleaned thoroughly and I didn't really see anything wrong with it. My chief complaint here is that weird yellow lighting some of these hotels still use and that makes the room feel dingy and dirty even when it's not. I truly hate that lighting and it really does kill the overall experience when I'm there, Other than that misstep in the room itself. I had a great stay. OH, cleaning did try to come in at like 8am which I didn't love, but I'm glad they have cleaning on their mind. Overall this place would have had five stars if they didn't have such bad lightening!
