There are smoking rooms here
Homewood Suites by Hilton Jacksonville-South-St. Johns Ctr offers both non-smoking and smoking rooms which is unfortunate is you are not a smoker. You may find that your non-smoking room has been smoked in before because upon entering it, you may be accosted by the stale smell of second-hand smoke. If this is a problem for you, be sure to state your preference for a non-smoking room upon booking, and then again at check-in.
negative:
The studios are small
The studios at this hotel tend to be on the small side which could be problematic if you are traveling with more than one person, have a lot of luggage in tow, or need extra room to maneuver.
negative:
The guest rooms need a facelift
Although the public spaces at this property have recently been renovated, the same cannot be said for the guest rooms which are rather dated. Furniture that has seen better days, stained carpeting and kitchens that are rather worn are among the worst offenders.
