Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Jacksonville Airport
The entire building, from the lobby to the rooms, smells like old wet socks. The smell was horrendous. The beds were comfy, probably the only positive. The breakfast had rotting bananas and oranges, cold French toast sticks and burnt sausages. There was barely anything to pick from.
