Residence Inn by Marriott Jacksonville Downtown

Suite Comfort Just Minutes from Jacksonville's Music Scene

Modern, spacious, and designed for extended stays, the Residence Inn by Marriott Jacksonville Downtown blends comfort and convenience just west of downtown Jacksonville. Located a short walk from the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center and a quick ride from top venues like Florida Theatre and the Veterans Memorial Arena, this all-suite hotel offers a relaxing retreat between shows.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love this hotel for its quiet but central location, just far enough from the downtown noise to get a good night’s sleep, but close enough to be at a show in minutes. The easy access to rideshares and late-night transportation makes getting to and from events a breeze. With a 12:00 PM checkout, there’s no rush the morning after the concert, and the spacious rooms with full kitchens are perfect for winding down.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a spacious suite with room to hang out
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list gig
- Couples planning a romantic music weekend
- Fans looking for peace and quiet post-show
- Budget-conscious travelers wanting extra value with free breakfast and kitchen amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a daily buffet or American breakfast, perfect for those late concert mornings. The in-suite kitchens and nearby eateries give you flexibility—grab takeout or cook your own snack after the encore. There’s also a coffee machine in every room for that essential morning pick-me-up.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about relaxation than revelry, it’s just a short ride from downtown Jacksonville’s bars and music lounges. Whether you're into craft cocktails or a laid-back beer after the show, the area offers plenty of options. The shared lounge and outdoor terrace back at the hotel are great for a mellow nightcap.

What People Say

Guests rave about the cleanliness, modern design, and friendly staff. The spacious rooms with full kitchens are a highlight, especially for longer stays. Many reviewers mention the convenient location—close to venues but in a quieter neighborhood. The outdoor pool and fitness center also get high marks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that while the location is walkable, it’s not in the heart of downtown, so rideshares are often needed. A few mentioned limited dining options on-site, but the in-room kitchens help bridge that gap. Overall, small trade-offs for a great stay.

The Bottom Line

Residence Inn by Marriott Jacksonville Downtown is a relaxing, well-appointed base for concert-goers who want comfort, space, and easy access to Jacksonville’s music venues.
