Southbank Hotel by Marriott Jacksonville Riverwalk

Southbank Hotel by Marriott Jacksonville Riverwalk

8/10 Good
"As at July 31st, 2026, this property is undergoing ongoing extensive renovations still. It appears as if they are getting close to the finish line. I believe that once these renovations are completely done this property will be a full five stars recommendation from me. As for my stay, however, sections of the property were off-limits, and with the ongoing construction, my day wasn’t flawless. I would come back here in the fall winter and in the future."
