Located across the boardwalk from the beach, the 51-room Best Western Oceanfront is a budget property offering good value in Jacksonville Beach. After a full renovation in 2016-17, rooms are contemporary and comfortable, with well-reviewed beds and solid amenities such as free high-speed Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers. Many units have balconies offering direct ocean views. A free, varied breakfast with hot and cold options is served every morning in an appealing, light-filled room off the lobby, while vending machines offer snacks and drinks after hours. The pool is small and has a tiny deck with limited seating, and there are no gym or full restaurant. Still, rates are competitive for a beachfront property, and covered parking is a great perk. Travelers wanting something with more on-site amenities may prefer the One Ocean Resort Hotel & Spa.

The Holiday Inn Express has all the standard amenities of a mid-range chain hotel: a small but pleasant pool with lounge chairs, a tiny but up-to-date fitness center, and generic decor with funky patterned carpets throughout. However, the spacious, modern rooms (most of which have a microwave and mini-fridge), and the great freebies (Wi-Fi, breakfast, self-parking) add to the value. Families often prefer the Kid Suites, with a separate room with colorful bunk beds and a flat-screen TV. The beach, however, is a sketchy 15-minute walk away; if a beachfront stay is a priority, consider the Best Western Oceanfront Jacksonville Beach (for slightly higher rates).
