Just off interstate 95 and near the Baymeadows area, the Wyndham Garden Jacksonville is a good option if you want to be close to the highway, but within easy reach of both the beach and the city. The hotel is a short drive from Tinseltown Movie Theatre and Florida Theatre and about 30 minutes from World Golf Village. A shuttle service can take you to the airport and local attractions. Traveling with a pet? No problem — they are welcome here. And in your down time, you can enjoy the large outdoor swimming pool and onsite fitness center. Other amenities particularly applicable to families include babysitting services and same-day dry cleaning service.

All of the hotel’s 180 rooms have free high-speed internet access, a refrigerator, microwave, ironing facilities, a coffee and tea maker and HDTV. The property also offers early check-in and late check-out as long as there are rooms available. There is free onsite parking, too. The onsite restaurant is open every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and room service is available from 5 to 10 p.m. nightly.
