Been a guest multiple times, but have noted some drop off since new ownership took over. Hope they read this review and reevaluate. A. First the financial ones 1. Dramatically raised the number of points you need to use to stay with Marriott Rewards - not the end of the world as we can use points elsewhere 2. Increased the breakfast rate to $18 per person - Weird, as they have a very small dining area and very few people eat there anyway - guessing this helps them get a better reimbursement when Elite members are awarded complimentary breakfast. 3. Parking rate increased to $18 per day - this may be the slimiest as hotels do not have to list parking fees at rsvp times (different from "resort fees"). This one is surprising as multiple properties in Jax Beach do not charge for parking (Springhill next door has free parking). B. Property changes 1. Poolside umbrellas are gone. Maybe they were being cleaned or replaced, but the pool area has about 100% sun all day long and the lack of umbrellas this time was frustrating. 2. They removed the trash cans from the guest room floors? Maybe they think this improves the appearance, but now folks just leave trash (pizza boxes, papers, etc) on the tables near the elevator. Sad... 3. Paper towels in the room are gone. Used to have very convenient paper towels rolls in the kitchen area.... Please bring back. 4. Coffee and Creamers - Used to have flavored creamers with the complimentary coffee in the lobby - those creamers were good 5. Flavored ice water - Watered down so much you would not even know there was any attempt at fruit flavoring. Sadly, we are moving on to try another option. The Springhill Suites has no parking fees and FREE breakfast for relatively the same rate (varies based on what day you book). We will stop by and say hi to Dennis and Maria (hoping they are still there) Lastly, it appears they promoted the Marketing lady to be the main manager at the property. She appears to be extremely overworked as we saw her there for 10 hour days multiple times during our stay. May have been an outlier, but I hope they pay her well.
