Hotel Review--Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverfront

If you are looking for a comfortable weekend getaway with a spouse or significant other or if you are in need of overnight business accommodations, the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverfront can meet and surpass your needs.  My first impression was that the building was dated, but just like a pearl on the inside of a shell, I went beyond the surface and discovered beauty.

The Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverwalk is located on the river at 1201 Riverplace Blvd., Jacksonville, FL and it is within walking distance of entertainment and restaurants at the Jacksonville Landing.  The location alone makes this hotel a great value.  However, not only is CP Jacksonville Riverfront a great value, but it is a great stay.  The King Sunset Room provided a great night's rest on the memory foam bed and other amenities like the sleeping mask and earplugs that were complimentary. Also, the freshly brewed Starbucks down in the lobby proves to be a great way to get the day started. 

Needless to say, a great way to end the day is with a refreshing pomegranate martini at the Ruth Chris Steakhouse located on the first floor of the building with spectacular views of the river.  After unwinding, you can continue your evening with dinner at Ruth Chris (try the crab cakes!) or at one of the various restaurants at the Jacksonville Landing (Benny's Steak & Seafood). 

The Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverwalk is a great place to stay and enjoy all that Jacksonville has to offer.
