Holiday Inn Express & Suites Jacksonville
"A 5.0/9 (small sample) IHG on Mayport Road with pool, free hot breakfast and a guest-flagged in-room jacuzzi suite."
About The Hotel
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Jacksonville-Atlantic Beach is a recently refreshed IHG at 2040 Mayport Road near Naval Station Mayport, about a 5-minute drive to the Atlantic Beach public beach. Rated a perfect 5.0 across a small 9-review sample with 5.0 across all subratings (cleanliness, location, rooms, service, sleep, value). Amenities include a pool, free hot breakfast, fitness center, free parking, free Wi-Fi, shuttle service, pet-friendly and family-friendly policy. A recent 5-star guest specifically wrote ‘the jacuzzi was an unexpected surprise — we were road weary travelers & this was a perfect date night! Great place’; another wrote ‘this is our new go-to spot for Navy reservations. So close to Mayport, the inside is all updated, and includes hot breakfast every morning’; a third called it ‘beyond excellent’ with ‘a spotlessly clean room’ and ‘the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on at a hotel’; a fourth wrote ‘Morgan at check-in discreetly upgraded us to a suite.’ The 9-review sample size is small — treat the perfect 5.0 as encouraging rather than definitive, and note the jacuzzi is a select-suite feature (King Suite with Jacuzzi), not every room. This is a value IHG stay in the Jacksonville Beaches area, not a resort — the appeal is Mayport proximity, updated interior, chain reliability and the chance of scoring a jacuzzi suite.
What Guests Are Saying
“During a recent family trip to the area, we were originally booked at a nearby Best Western, but they were overbooked. Morgan at check-in discreetly upgraded us to a suite. MOST comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on at a hotel. Svetlana helped my daughter carry her big plate at breakfast. Perry threw in a bag of Famous Amos cookies for the little one. The people here, the clean spaces, the delicious breakfast, and the proximity to so many food options, made this top of the top.” — Happy T, 5 stars
“This is our new go-to spot for Navy reservations. So close to Mayport, the inside is all updated, and includes hot breakfast every morning. They have a snack area and also sell alcohol at the front desk. The pool is smaller, but perfect for the location. Ample parking, and walking distance to multiple spots for food and drinks. My #1 off-base lodging when I’m at Mayport!” — Mike B, 5 stars
“I had an absolutely perfect experience at the Holiday Inn Express. From start to finish, the stay was spectacular. The staff provided an incredibly warm welcome and the check-in was seamless.

From the moment we checked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout our entire visit.
