Overall, my stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville Downtown Southbank was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, which contributed to a great night's sleep. The location made it easy to explore the nearby restaurants and attractions. However, I was a bit disappointed with the breakfast pricing; it wasn't complimentary like I'd hoped. The pool area was inviting and perfect for relaxing after a long day.
